Standard Consular Services
The embassy is open for consular services between the hours of 1pm and 4pm from Monday to Wednesday. There is a range of consular services available for various purposes.
Estonia Visa
The Estonian embassy is able to assist with different types of visas needed for Estonia. Canadian citizens are not required to apply for visas to enter the Schengen zone for less than 90 days. Estonia is included in the Schengen zone. However, people who wish to apply for the long-stay (D) visa can do so at the Estonian Embassy. This visa allows visitors to Estonia to stay for up to a year, and it can be a single or multiple-entry visa.
Consular registration
Visitors to the embassy will need to pre-book appointments online through the embassy website. The embassy recommends that this is done at least two working days before you make a visit.

Travel documents
Canadian citizens are required to have a passport with a validity of at least three months for the period they intend to stay in Estonia. There also needs to be two blank pages on each passport. Children that are travelling without their parents must take with them a notarised letter of parental consent.
Legalization of documents
The Estonian embassy in Ottawa is able to legalise public documents that are to be used in Estonia. Before doing this, Global Affairs Canada will need to authenticate the documents. This authentication can only be carried out by Global Affairs Canada, and not by any regional authorities. When you have made an appointment for legalising your documents, you will need to bring your documents to the embassy.
Embassy Staff
The Estonian Ambassador to Canada since 2018 has been Mr. Toomas Lukk. His assistant is Vanessa Gold and the consul in Ottawa is Anne-Ly Ader. There are eight honorary consuls and vice-consuls. These are in Halifax, Quebec, Toronto, Montreal, Alberta, and Vancouver.

Estonia in Canada
Canada is a much larger country than Estonia, in both population and land size. However, there is a fairly large Estonian population living in Canada, of around 25,000. This is one of the largest populations of Estonian living outside of Estonia. These people are represented by the Estonian Central Council of Canada.
Relations between Estonia and Canada are positive, with a shared history that has brought the two countries together. Canada did not accept the Societ Union’s annexation of Estonia. It also supported Estonian independence after the break up of the USSR.
In 2004 Estonia joined the NATO alliance, and Canada was among the first to approve the ratification. In recent decades, Canada also has an increased presence in the Baltic region. It is represented in the region by a Canadian embassy in Riga, Latvia. There is an additional embassy in Tallinn, Estonia.
Bilateral trade between the two countries amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars every year. This is mainly in imports to Canada from Estonia of machinery, mineral fuels and electrical equipment.
