Canada–Tunisia relations

Canada-Tunisia relations are foreign relations between Canada and Tunisia. Both countries established diplomatic relations in 1957. At first, the Tunisian government tried to establish relations and get help from both Canadian government and Quebec, but it turned out to be impossible.[1] Since May 1966, Canada has an embassy in Tunis, the first Canadian embassy in North Africa.[2] Since September 1969, Tunisia has an embassy in Ottawa and a consulate in Montreal.
