Foreign Relations Of Syria
Since the Syrian Republic gained independence from the French Mandate, Syria has seen tension with its neighbours, such as Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon. Ensuring national security, increasing influence among its Arab neighbours and securing the return of the Golan Heights, had been the primary goals of Ba'athist Syria's foreign policy. Syria is also a full member of the Arab League. Syria enjoyed an improvement in relations with several of the states in its region in the 21st century, prior to the Arab Spring and the Syrian civil war. Due to the Syrian civil war, Ba'athist Syrian government was partially isolated from the countries in the region and the wider international community until 2022. After the fall of the Assad regime in late 2024, the new Syrian government actively engaged with the European Union and neighboring countries including Turkey and the Arab world for post-war reconstruction.

According to the 2016 Census, there were 77,050 Syrian Canadians compared to the 2011 Census where there were 50,840. History Syrians started immigrating to the Americas in the early part of the 1880s, while the vast majority migrated to South America, a small percentage made their way to America, and an even smaller percentage settled in Canada. The overwhelming majority of Syrians who settled in Canada from the 1880s to 1960s were of the Christian faith. The so-called Shepard of the lost flock, Saint Raphael Hawaweeny of Brooklyn, New York, came to Montreal in 1896 to help establish a Christian association called the ''Syrian Benevolent Society'' and then later on an Orthodox church in Montreal for the newly arrived Syrian faithful.

International Sanctions Against Syria
International sanctions against Syria are a series of economic sanctions and restrictions imposed on Syria which was under the Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship at that time by the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, and the Arab League, mainly as a result of the repression of civilians in the Syrian civil war from 2011 onwards. The US sanctions against Syria were the most severe, as they affected third-parties as well, and amounted to an embargo. U.S. secondary sanctions were limited until 2020 when the Caesar Act entered into force. The intent was to prevent the Syrian government from employing violence against its citizens and to motivate political reforms that could solve the root causes of the conflict. In May 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump and the European Union ordered the lifting of sanctions on Syria following the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024.
