Embassy of Canada, Warsaw
diplomatic mission of Canada to Poland
The Embassy of Canada to Poland (French: Ambassade du Canada en Pologne; Polish: Ambasada Kanady w Polsce) in Warsaw is the diplomatic mission of Canada to Poland. The embassy also covers the country of Belarus as part of its mandate. The embassy is located at ulica Jana Matejki 1/5 in Warsaw, down the street from the Polish Sejm.
History
Prior to 1970, the Embassy of Canada to Poland was located in a rented office on Katowicka Street. The initial embassy building was opened in 1970 at ulica Jana Matejki 1/5. From 1975 to 1990, the embassy also handled Canada's relations with the German Democratic Republic. The embassy has a perpetual lease on the grounds from the City of Warsaw.
Opened in 2001, the current facility designed by architect Voytek Gorczynski is more than double the size of the building it replaced, and it has won acclaim. The embassy was named Best Building of the Year in 2001 by Polish Business News, Best Public Building in 2002 by the City of Warsaw, and it received a special citation from the Association of Polish Architects for the Best Architectural Design in 2001.
The embassy's architectural design includes an emphasis on open spaces and natural light, which represent the Canadian values of transparency and openness.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2841867. VIAF identifies the subject as 134090932. The Library of Congress control number is no2008156883. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
