    Thank you for the update Abu Susan and for all you do. I have a question, if a family is coming to Ottawa for passport renewal, can they come with one money order to cover their admin fees,( e.g family of 5 brings a money order in the amount of 250CD) or does each member of the family have to come with a money order covering individual fees? Also will one envelope suffice or does each person need a Canada post an envelope? Many thanks for your prompt response.

      Thank You, Toyin. Bring one big envelope for all of you and one money order for 5.

    Good evening Sir/ma, Please please this is an SOS! Please I am yet to receive my Nigerian passport 6 months after the Calgary Passport Intervention Excercise (9th of June 2021) and please need to conclude my travel plans. Please, I have sent several emails to the Nigerian embassy in Ottawa and I have never gotten a response. Please I have called several times pleading with the several embassy staff I spoke with to please help in the process of locating my passport after sending in my passport for renewal more than 6 months ago. Please sir/ ma it's urgent I travel, the embassy has my old passport. I would appreciate your prompt assistance and prompt response. Thank you for your understanding and kind consideration. Thank you

    Hi Abu Susan, Currently, I tried tracking my package but it can not be found on Canada post system. Should I be concerned about this or what could be the problem? P. S. I came in 15th October, 2021. Just curious too, has anyone else here been able to track theirs? Thank you

    My tracking finally showed today. So I’ll say if you’re in this batch, give it till Monday if your tracking hasn’t shown any status update yet. For some reason, I wasn’t able to track mine all week till today and it looks like I’ll receive my passport next week Monday. Thank you

    WHY WAS MY OLD PASSPORT SENT BACK TO ME STAMPED WITH “CANCELLED WITHOUT PREJUDICE” I NEED ANSWERS ASAP BECAUSE I PAID MONEY TO PROCESS ALL DOCUMENTS & TRANSPORTED MYSELF TO OTTAWA FOR THE INTERVIEW. I HAVE A TRIP IN DECEMBER. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?

    1. Abu SusanSays

      3 years ago

      Did you get the new passport too? When they issue a new passport, they cancel the old booklet and return it to you.

  18. Olalekan OlayiwolaSays

    Mrs. Susan, I think our embassy is functioning wonderfully well in Ottawa. Thanks to you and good-minded Nigerians working there. I received my passport today having captured 21 October 2021. That is 3 weeks. This is a promise fulfilled and over-delivery of my expectation. The Lord bless you and richly reward your efforts. Your professionalism is inestimable and am super proud to have you as a fellow countrywoman. Thank you for all you do. I will look for you when I come to Ottawa next.
