History
Norway's diplomatic representation in Canada was raised in 1942 to a legation, stationed in Montreal. The first minister in Canada was Daniel Steen, who already had been General Consul in Montreal since 1934. In 1949, the embassy was moved to the Canadian capital of Ottawa and upgraded to an embassy, led by an ambassador.
