History edit

Relations were first established 18 January 1965, although earlier both nations were a part of the Colombo Plan. In 1970, the Canadian International Development Agency began distributing aid in Nepal. In 2003, a duty-free agreement was signed between the two nations.[1] Nepal maintains an embassy on Queen Street in Ottawa, and has honorary consulates in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, and Victoria, British Columbia.[2] Canada's high commission in New Delhi is accredited to Nepal and maintains an honorary consulate in Kathmandu.[citation needed]

Canada has issued nearly $500 million in aid to Nepal throughout the course of relations, including $50 million for the April 2015 Nepal earthquake.[3]
