Canada–Hong Kong relations

Canada–Hong Kong relations refers to international relations between Canada and Hong Kong. Canada has extensive and enduring interests in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The Canadian Government supports Hong Kong's "high degree of autonomy" under Chinese sovereignty as provided for by the Sino-British Joint Declaration, Hong Kong's mini-constitution, the Basic Law, and in accordance with China's policy of observing "one country, two systems".
Canadian policy toward Hong Kong is underpinned by its substantial commercial interests, and by the presence of a huge Canadian community living in Hong Kong. Hong Kong boasts one of the largest Canadian communities abroad (an estimated 295,000). Canada and Hong Kong SAR both shares "birthday" on the same day, 1 July, as Canada Day and Hong Kong SAR Establishment Day respectively.
==History==

Both Hong Kong and Canada shared common history for being part of the British Empire. Interactions between Hong Kong and Canada increased with the start of Trans-Pacific services of Canadian Pacific Steamship Company (CPSC), a company of Canadian Pacific Railway in the late 19th century. From 1887 through 1941, three specially designed ''Empress'' ocean liners—the RMS ''Empress of China'', the RMS ''Empress of India'' and the RMS ''Empress of Japan'' provided passengers and cargo services, in addition being contracted postal service provider between the British Isles and Hong Kong via Canada began in 1891. CPR initiated an ocean-going service between the port of Vancouver and Victoria, BC and Hong Kong, with calls at Japan and China, and later at Manila, Philippine Islands and Honolulu, Hawaii. This service provided a link for CPR's transcontinental railroad passenger and freight services. Passengers could travel from the British Isles to Eastern Canada, travel across Canada via railway to Vancouver, and onward to Asian destinations including Hong Kong. During 1887, temporary steamship service was initiated on a Vancouver-Yokohama-Hong Kong route.〔( "Railway Management; the Canadian Pacific." ) ''New York Times.'' May 13, 1887.〕 Low-cost labourers from southern China could travel from Hong Kong to Western Canada on the same route, eventually help building the Canadian Pacific Railway (between 1881 to 1885) 〔(Chinese Canadian History, The Canadian Pacific Railway (1881-1885) )〕 and Yukon in the 1890s for potential gold prospects.
The first ever Canadian representative in Hong Kong was the Canadian Immigration office, which opened in 1923. Canadian first participated in a land battle during the Second World War, abeit a lost battle, was the Battle of Hong Kong. The same mission elevated to become Canadian Trade Commission from 1927 until the Handover of Hong Kong Sovereignty in July 1997, when it became the current mission of Canadian Consulate-General to Hong Kong & Macao.
