The office of the High Commissioner also works with the 3,000-4,000 registered Canadian permanent residents who reside in Barbados.
Canadian immigration services were moved from Barbados to Trinidad in recent years for the purposes of cost savings. This means that all Caribbean people applying to immigrate to Canada from islands surrounding Barbados must apply through the office in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
In 2011 the High Commission investigated relocating as it was believed it might have been built above a cave.

The State House is the official residence and office of the president of Barbados. It was built in 1702 during the colonial days and served as a Quaker Plantation, until it was purchased by the imperial government, to act as a replacement to the Bagatelle Great House in the Parish of St Thomas.
From then, it served as the residence of the governor of Barbados. It later continued in the role of official residence and office of the governor-general of Barbados following independence from the United Kingdom in 1966. Upon the abolition of the monarchy on 30 November 2021, Government House was renamed State House and has effectively become the official residence of the president of Barbados.
