National > Travel > Getting Help in an Emergency:If I have an emergency while I am traveling, can I get some help from the Canadian government wherever I am?Yes, you can. Canadian missions around the world offer 24-hour assistance to Canadians. Even after their regular office hours, there are answering machines to take messages and these answering machines are checked by duty officers. You can also make a collect call to the Foreign Affairs office in Ottawa by calling (613) 996-8885. Be sure you leave a clear and detailed message and that you leave a phone number where you can be contacted. You can find a list of Canadian embassies and missions on the Foreign Affairs Canada website.
