Canada's relationship with Namibia began in 1977 when Canada joined the [[Western Contact Group]], a joint diplomatic effort of France, United Kingdom, United States, Canada and [[West Germany]] to bring an internationally acceptable transition to independence for Namibia. In 1990 official relations started; Canada has dispatched an [[Honorary Consul]] to [[Windhoek]].<ref name=canada>[http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/southafrica-afriquedusud/bilateral_relations_bilaterales/canada_namibia-namibie.aspx?menu_id=60&menu=L Canada-Namibia relations] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110129053033/http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/southafrica-afriquedusud/bilateral_relations_bilaterales/canada_namibia-namibie.aspx?menu_id=60&menu=L |date=29 January 2011 }} Foreign Ministry of Canada</ref>

Canada is one of the main destinations for Namibian refugees. Together with Botswana and Denmark, Canada has been granting asylum to people fleeing Namibia in the aftermath of the [[Caprivi conflict]], and particularly the [[Caprivi treason trial]] that followed in which the Namibian government was accused of human rights violations.<ref name="exile">{{cite news

Nonetheless, Canada received a steady inflow of Namibian immigrants who seek economic betterment under the pretense of humiliation and harassment in Namibia. In 2011 more than 1,000 Namibians entered Canada. Three-quarters of them applied for refugee status, but only a few were successful.<ref>{{cite news

U.S.-Namibian relations are good and continue to improve. Characterized by shared [[Democracy|democratic values]], commitment to rule of law, and respect for human rights, the bilateral relationship has been strengthened through trade ties and U.S. assistance programs. Namibia has seized opportunities created by [[AGOA]]. Currently the [[SACU]] countries and the U.S. are negotiating a Trade, Investment and Development Cooperation Agreement, scheduled to be signed in 2008. Namibia has been included in President Bush's International Mother and Child HIV Initiative and the Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.  The [[U.S. Agency for International Development]]'s (USAID) bilateral presence in Namibia has been extended until 2010. In addition to the embassy, the [[Centers for Disease Control]], [[Peace Corps]], and the [[United States Department of Defense]] have offices in Windhoek.
