To follow up on tkamiya's supposition that if you also had Canadian citizenship you could receive protection from a Canadian Embassy, that is wishful thinking at best. Even if you are only a Canadian citizen, the embassy will do nothing for you except replace you passport if lost (at your cost) let someone in Canada know you have been caught or killed, and generally make you wonder why your tax dollars pay for foreign embassys that only serve the retired politicians assigned as Ambassadors. I lived in South Korea for 3 years and when I first arrived there I thought I should check in the Embassy. They wouldn't even let me in, and I was given a booklet which basically told me everything they would not do for me if I was in any trouble - it made it seem like they would actaully cause trouble for me if I needed any help. I eventually made friends with a few marines stationed there and they gave me all the help I needed whenever I needed. God bless the US Marines!
