Russian Czar Nicholas II was relatively new to the throne when the building where Canadian diplomats work in Moscow was built in 1898. “Canada has occupied the embassy building in Moscow over the last 70 years. When Canada moves to the British embassy, that work will continue, but it is still expected to take another five or six years to complete.

In March 2018, Ottawa expelled four Russian diplomats and refused the credentials of three others.
