Cadieux joined the Department of External Affairs in 1941[3], as one of the few French-speaking Canadians in the diplomatic service. In 1951 Cadieux was sent to the NATO Defence College (NATO) in Paris and then the Canadian Permanent Delegation to the North Atlantic Council.

When Cadieux returned to headquarters in 1955 he was first named head of the United Nations Division, then assistant under-secretary and legal adviser, and finally under-secretary – and all in nine years.
His "conservative Quebec Roman Catholicism predisposed him to a visceral hatred of communism as an ideology and to a deep suspicion of the Soviet Union as its main purveyor."

A staunch federalist, Cadieux believed that French Canadians could and should find a place Canada,[1] abandoning separatism.
Cadieux viewed the Diefenbaker government as ignorant and amateurish.[4] "Whereas Norman Robertson had on occasion seemed anti-American for his views on such issues as trade, Cuba, and nuclear weapons, in Cadieux the United States had one of the most pro-American under-secretaries ever to hold the office."[1]
From 1964 to 1970, he was Under-Secretary of State for External Affairs.[5][6] When undersecretary, he directed the Havana embassy staff to debrief regularly with the US State Department and the CIA on Cuban developments.[7]
Cadieux served on the negotiating committee to determine maritime boundaries with the United States.[8][2] He was Canada's first francophone Ambassador to the United States from 1970 to 1975,[9][10] and head of the Canadian Mission to the European Communities from 1975.
He was appointed to advise the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in 1978. He also wrote several books on Canadian diplomacy.[11]
