U.S. Embassy in Canada
An embassy, also known as a diplomatic mission, is a group of people from one state or country – the United States in this case – headed by an ambassador and representing their state or country inside the borders of another state or country. An embassy is usually a permanent office of a country's diplomatic representatives in the capital city of another country. An embassy’s territory, staff, and even vehicles are generally afforded diplomatic immunity from most laws of the host country.
The U.S. Embassy in Canada is located in Canada’s capitol city, Ottawa, at 490 Sussex Drive, in the Consular Section.
U.S. Consulate in Toronto
The term Consulate refers to the office or term (either individually or collectively) of an official Consul. A Consul is an official representative of a state, who works outside of his/her territory, looking after that territories interest and those of the territories subjects and enterprises.
A consulate provides many of the same functions as an embassy.
The U.S. Consulate in Toronto is located at 360 University Avenue, which is between Dundas and Queen Streets, and between the St. Patrick and Osgoode subway stations.
The Non-Immigrant visa entrance is at 225 Simcoe Street, directly behind the University Avenue entrance.
