In 2006 Canada officially recognized the Armenian genocide.[2] In October 2018, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau paid a visit to Armenia to attend the 17th Summit of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. During the visit, Prime Minister Trudeau met with Armenian President Armen Sarkissian and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan; to further strengthen the relations between both nations.[3]

In October 2023, Canada opened its first resident embassy in Yerevan.[4]
