Nepali diaspora in Canada benefits from mobile consular camp

November 20, Kathmandu: The Embassy of Nepal in Canada conducted a mobile consular and passport camp in Toronto on November 16 and 17. According to the Nepali Embassy in Ottawa, close to 400 people received passports and other consular-related services from the camp.

According to the Embassy, the camp was a continuation of its effort to bring services to different cities in Canada where there is a significant Nepali diaspora. The Embassy said the effort has been well received by the service seekers in the Nepali diaspora community, adding that services as such provided convenience to them living in different parts of a vast country like Canada.

This was the third such mobile consular camp in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) alone, organized by the Embassy in the past year. The GTA hosts the largest concentration of Nepali expats in Canada, hence the high number of service seekers.

Besides the GTA, the Embassy conducted similar mobile consular/passport camps in Edmonton, Vancouver, Halifax, and Calgary in the last six months. The Embassy plans to conduct more such mobile camps in the future in different cities of Canada where there is a significant number of service seekers.

The mobile camp in Toronto this time was conducted in collaboration with the Department of Passports, Honorary Consulate of Nepal in Toronto, NRNA NCC Canada, and other community organizations in the GTA. The Embassy appreciated the continued collaboration and support of the Nepali diaspora community.
