Good Morning, It is my pleasure to confirm that the EFFICIENCIES in the High Commission, especially the Consular Section and the Consular Secretary in particular has now reached 100+ percent. I have been visiting the High Commission since the time of Ambassador Attah through to our current, His Excellency Ambassador Adeyinka Asekun. Understandably, over the years, the learning curve has been steep and sometimes very difficult. However, I am so very impressed with the current processing of our Passport. As usual, there will always be detractors who are also fellow citizens for one reason or another, but this time, the service is IMPRESSIVE, accurate and very timely, and I am hoping my fellow citizens will try to understand that 'accuracy and patience' mostly wins and NOT constant bellicose. Thank you very much.
Abu SusanSays
Thank you, Davidson.

Hello Abu Susan, Thank you for taking the time to respond to our questions/inquiries. I am filling out the standard Standard ePassport Application Form (online) for my one-year-old child. I noticed the application will only proceed with filling in the National Identity Number (NIN) as it is now a Compulsory field in the application form. For this reason, I enrolled him for the NIN registration at the Toronto center in December 2022. Unfortunately, they couldn't register a minor. Both parents have the NIN number, but he does not. Please, how can I go about his passport application in this case? I called the High Commission's phone number several times, but the phone line wasn't reachable. The family has an appointment for passport capturing in the last week of January 2023, and I really want to get his passport too. Thank you, and I look forward to your response.
Abu SusanSays
You need to get NIN for the minor. It is compulsory. Please get back to the Toronto centre, check our website for the latest update of centres.
OlaSays
Thank you, Abu Susan, for your response. Okay. I will check back with the Toronto centre.

It is so sad that I keep calling the number on the website and it says no one is available to pick my call. Why is the embassy never available. I came in on Dec 09 and I am yet to receive my passports. I am travelling in 7 days. I was told at the embassy that I will be receiving my passports before this day. This is totally unfair.
Abu SusanSays
Please call the number on Monday next week or send an email to generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca

Hello Susan, please help with my issue. My daughter did her data capture on Dec 8 2022 but her passport is yet to be issued because of payment confirmation problem. My understanding is that this type of issue is usually resolved within 24 hours but this is now almost 1 month. I have sent multiple emails to the general mail box but issue still not resolved . We planned to travel to Nigeria this January but the plans is no longer visible because her old passport is still with the embassy and new one is not issued. Application ID is - 19017280 and Reference No is 69016691690235. Please help much appreciated.
Abu SusanSays
Sorry about that. We will look into it.

Good morning. I was at the Commission on October 24th for a renewal/change of name. There was a message on the 9th of December saying passports have been dispatched for those who came in between October 13th and November 18th, 2022. People commented on that post saying they had not received theirs and were advised to wait a couple more days. It has been almost a month since this message was sent out, and I have still not been able to track my envelope/envelope. I have called numerous times this week to no avail. No one picks the calls. Please advise. Application ID: 18980871 Reference ID: 79516657854188
