No, it can't make the trouble go away. Canadian representatives in foreign countries can help you but they can't get you out of legal trouble. All they can do is help you find a lawyer, contact your family or friends back home so that they can try to help you, and try to make sure that you receive fair treatment in accordance with the laws of the country you are in. However, they can't pull strings to get you out of jail, have the charges dropped, change your sentence, or help you pay, reduce or drop a fine. Last Reviewed: August 2012
