The Israeli Consulate is located at 2 Bloor St E #400, Toronto, ON M4W 1A8. This is in the Hudson’s Bay Complex, which is now empty and waiting for a new anchor tenant. I would avoid driving down there, considering the traffic condition and poor parking opportunities. The consulate is located right at the intersection of Yonge and Bloor, with the Bloor Street Subway station providing easy access throughout the year Israeli consulate Toronto.

The consulate is subservient to the embassy, which is located at 50 R. O’Connor St, Ottawa, ON K1P 6L2. In order to access the Google Maps listing for the embassy, please click here. Chances are that you will not have to go to the embassy, with the consulate offering most services in Toronto.
Please note that you do not require a travel visa to visit Israel, provided that your trip lasts less than 90 days. You will need a valid passport that expires in over six months.
Dual nationality is allowed for both Canadians and Israelis.
If you are looking to make Aliyah to Israel, this will not be your first point of contact. Alternatively, book an appointment with Veronica Atanelli (Head of Aliyah Services) Tel. (416) 633.4766 [email protected]. Please be advised that their office (Jewish Agency for Israel) is located in the Lipa Green Building, right beside the BJCC (Bathurst just north of Sheppard). All of these properties are heavily protected, reinforced by both uniformed and plainclothed security details.
Our passport never for Israel
Without going too much into detail, Aliyah is the act of immigrating to Israel, the national and spiritual homeland of the Jewish people. Codified in law, it gives every Jew (and their children and grandchildren) the right to obtain citizenship in Israel. This is due to Hitler’s (spit) decision to expand the definition of “who is a Jew”, ensuring that everyone vulnerable (and qualified) has a refuge in the Promised Land. In order to satisfy the legal requirements, one must prove genealogy, clear evidence that your family is Jewish. The easiest way to is get a letter from your Rabbi, someone with access to records and so forth. If you are looking for guidance on the topic, feel free to reach out to me and I can give you some suggestions.
