Larijani was scheduled to pay a visit to Canada in October in a bid to take part in a meeting of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).
The latest reports in Iran say that Larijani has canceled his visit in reaction to the closure of the Canadian embassy in Tehran.
Five Canadian diplomats left Iran on Friday and closed the embassy in a sudden move, suspending ties with Tehran.
In Tehran, several politicians and MPs welcomed the severance of ties with Canada, saying that the relations should have been cut off much earlier.
Several members of the Iranian parliament welcomed the closure of the Canadian mission in Tehran, underlining that the bilateral relations with Ottawa didn't benefit the Iranian nation.
