- The One Stop Centre for Women operates from the Consulate General of India in Toronto and is managed by a female administrator.
- Assistance is available exclusively to Indian passport holders facing domestic violence, abandonment, exploitation, family disputes or legal difficulties.
- Services include immediate counselling, psycho‑social support, coordination of legal advice, and referrals to Canadian community and social services through empanelled NGOs.
- Support is offered on a means‑tested basis under Government of India rules, with contact via a 24/7 helpline at +1 (437) 552‑3309 and osc.toronto@mea.gov.in.
- The consulate has published FAQs outlining the scope and limits of assistance, as Canadian authorities continue a homicide probe with a nationwide warrant for Abdul Ghafoori in the death of Himanshi Khurana.
