Special Consular Camp for Indian Truckers Announced in Brampton For Passport Renewal and PCC

Brampton, ON – September 23, 2024: In response to growing demand from the Indian trucking community, the Consulate General of India in Toronto has announced a special consular camp to be held in Brampton. This camp is dedicated to providing passport renewal and police clearance certificate (PCC) services specifically for Indian nationals working in the trucking industry.

The camp will take place on Sunday, October 13, 2024, at Gurudwara Nanaksar located at 9954 The Gore Road, Brampton, ON. The services will be available from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

This initiative aims to address the unique challenges faced by truckers, whose demanding work schedules often prevent them from accessing these essential services during regular business hours.
