    So after 5 full business days (May 2nd & 3rd excluded), the high commission is only able to process the applications for February 25th. This is pathetic to say the least.

      We captured over 195 applicants on February 25th, if you must know. And we receive up a 100 applicants in a day. And production depends on the number of booklets available. So please, do your research before using words like "PATHETIC."

    Hi, I was at the High Commission on April 6th for passport renewal. I have to travel to Nigeria on June 10th. Any chance I might be able to receive my new passport soon? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      It depends on the availability of booklets. If we receive more booklets yes. If not, we can't do anything.

    Good Afternoon. It sounds like the booklet delay makes it challenging for your team to complete all renewals in the usual time frame. Is it possible for my brother and I to get some sort of clearance to travel to Nigeria? Our flight is on Saturday, May 14. We submitted our renewal applications on the dates below: 1. March 22 2. March 7 Would greatly appreciate your help.

      Apply for Emergency Travel Certificate. But again, you may have a challenge getting back to Canada if you are not Canadian citizens.

    Hello, I came to do my passport on February 18 and yet to receive my passport. I have tried tracking and it isnt showing up online. The renewal was for a marital name change. Are there any issues in this regard?

    1. Abu SusanSays

      3 years ago

      So, the delay is because of the marital name change. Approval comes from Abuja and sometimes it take up to three months to get it. We will let you know when it is ready.

    Good morning, I came on April 8 for passport renewal and I have to travel by end of June. Do you think my passport will be ready by then? If not, what do you think I should do? I called the number on the website no one picked. Can someone reach me through my email address please?

    1. Abu SusanSays

      3 years ago

      Send us a message two weeks to your date of travel if you do not receive your passport. Then we can decide on what you should do.

    Good morning Sir, I write to appreciate the good works you people are running over there despite the pressure everywhere. However, in my own case, my submission date is far ahead. I submitted it and was captured on the 16th of March 2022. Now, I need my old International Passport back. I am due to travel back home Nigeria. I can't afford to be out of status in Canada. You people are experts and you know the implications. I have changed my ticket twice at a fee. I have a few days left in Canada. KINDLY MAIL MY OLD INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT BACK TO ME. I NEED TO TRAVEL IMMEDIATELY. I will return it to your office through DHL facilities from Nigeria. Kindly attend to this, I am stranded.

    1. Abu SusanSays

      Hello S.K. We are under a lot of pressure because of the booklet challenge. Since this is a public forum, kindly send your full name, date of capture, application I.D. and Reference number through Direct message to our Instagram page. Someone will pick it up from there, pick out your old passport and mail it back to you. However, remember to add a cover note stating your capture date when returning the old passport to the High Commission.

    Please my kids and I will need our old passport, because we are given a deadline for the kids to undergo a biometrics for our permanent residence application. How do I get back our old passport, as this is urgent. We did our capturing on April 12 and from the look of things, I do not know when we will receive our new passport. Kindly give me a direction on how to collect back the old passport and send it back when I am done. Please help me in this regard.

    1. Abu SusanSays

      You can come and pick them or we can mail them to you. But remember to add a cover note when sending them back, stating your date of capture.

    Hello, I will appreciate if I can have my old passport back. I submitted it since the 28th of February at the New Brunswick intervention. I have an urgent visa and travel appointment that I can’t afford to miss nor can it be rescheduled as appointment times are limited. Please, I will return the passport as soon as I get back. Thank you

    1. Abu SusanSays

      Please send us a direct message with your full details via Instagram. We have produced 90% of the passports from New Brunswick. Perhaps yours is among the 90%. We are documenting them now before mailing them.

        Thank you. We have a dire situation for our child whose passport is expiring soon, who needs to relocate to the UK urgently with the family. My spouse (Bilikis) has sent an email to your office at chancery@nigeriahcottawa.ca and your help and response to this request would be highly appreciated. Best regards!

    Hello Abu Susan, the status of my passport renewal application has changed from "vetted" to "This application has been Expired." Please what does that mean?

    1. Abu SusanSays

      When did you apply for renewal? And did you come for capture?

    Please is there any possibility of getting 10 years passport? Secondly, is there a preferential treatment for students? I was told that i should wait all through April that the embassy is visiting Montreal but was later told at the end that they no longer coming. This has actually caused a problem for me now as i am now unable to do some application because my passport has almost expired. Please what is the way forward. Thank you

    1. Abu SusanSays

      2 years ago

      Please who said the Embassy is visiting Montreal? Montreal is just two hours drive to Ottawa. The passport intervention is for applicants in faraway provinces. The information is here on the website but some applicants prefer to hear from people. Please, read our news updates for authentic information. We do not give preferential treatment. Apply for your renewal and come to Ottawa for your biometrics

    I had my renewal passport capturing on 21st April, 2022 and must commend the entire workforce at the high commission, despite the huge internet connectivity problem experienced same day but the staff rose to the challenge and had our capturing concluded. I like the zeal and the energy of the multi-talented staff of the Nigeria high commission, Ottawa, Canada. Weldone! And keep it up. Eagerly waiting for my old & new passports. Ehimen AJ.
