Portuguese consular services in Toronto date back to early Twentieth Century. In 1906, King Carlos I designated famed Canadian publisher Colonel John Bayne Maclean, born in Crieff, Ontario, on September 26, 1862, as the first Honorary Consul. He was succeeded in 1907 by British politician and businessperson Frederic Thomas Nichollas. The last honorary Consul was Werner Willemsen, appointed by the Government of Portugal in 1954. The consular structure was elevated to first class career Consulate in 1956, until the publication of by-law 374/74, dated June 21st, classifying it as a Consulate General. Like all consular and diplomatic missions, the activities of the Consulate General of Portugal, include the protection of the interests of Portuguese citizens temporarily and permanently resident in its area of jurisdiction (Provinces of Ontario and Manitoba), as well as the promotion of commercial relations and trade and the advancement of Portuguese Language and Culture.
