RESOLVING NIN ISSUES

I would like you to help me resolve this issue of collecting NIN numbers for the renewal of my international passport and immediate family members. I registered and made an appointment registration Saturday (22-04-23) at 272 Flodden Way along with my immediate family members. While my family members got their own done completely, I was unable to get mine completed as a result of the forgotten numbers of the BVN at that moment of registration. I later got back the BVN numbers that day and sent an email back to the generated email of the IQID registration number payments platform on that very day(22-4-23) and later follow up email on (24-4-23) respectively for an information update and collection of my NIN numbers. (IQID and notifications@calendly.com) to acknowledge my request and update my sent BVN numbers to the mail provided through payments, Surprisingly, no response on both sent emails and the call number associated with the IQID contact information telephone number, ringing and no response. Kindly act on my requests as soon as possible in this regard. Thank you, yours Faithfully (* Ibrahim)

Hi, Please I want to obtain my NIN. Where can I get this done quickly and at a decent price in Toronto?

It's been almost 6 months now and I've gone for recapture 3 times now. All I'm trying to do is fix a spelling error in my NIN. The knowledgesquare center is quite useless in getting the work done. So, kindly give me a solution or who I can contact to get the job done. Thank you.

The Nigeria High Commission in Ottawa needs to stop referring Nigerians who want/need to do their NIN to Mr. Kola, one of the agent that acts on behalf of the NIN's office. He us an extremely unreliable and disgustingly rude man. He moved his office location from his baxter address, to his residence:-272 Flodden Way, Nepean ON K2G 7C9. I believe his license to conduct and act as a NIMC representative should be revoked immediately. Firstly he has his minor aged daughter-Aisha attending to customers alone from start to finish. He's NEVER there! Which is a good thing, because the young lady is very respectful that her obnoxious father. We visited their home to make an NIN for my adult Canadian daughter back on 26th August 2023, keep in mind, I'd already done mine with him over 2yrs ago. So his daughter said the NIN server was down and was not granting them access to generate and print NIN number for customers and that the issue has been pending for over a week and that NIMC-main hub was aware and working on it. Thst as soon as they've resolved and restored services, she will email us my daughter's NIN card. Absolutely nothing. After a week, I started calling her dad Mr. Kola's cell-(647)806-9150 majority of the time-99% he ignored calls and VM full; the odd time he picked, he told me they had informed NINMC about the problem with my daughter's NIN. Lo and behold, their was absolutely no problem with my daughter's NIN, he did absolutely nothing! I have a friend of mine who lives in Montreal QC, who needed her NIN done, booked her appointment, paid and was scheduled for an appointment on 16th September, whom I took to Mr. Kola, as she wasn't from Ottawa. On getting there after almost 10 minutes of buzzing the doorbell with no answer. I called him and told him we had an appointment, we were at his HM and no one is answering our doorbell. Minutes later, his daughter opened the door, let us in and apologized that she was fast asleep and didn't hear the bell. I asked the rude man what the update with my daughter's NIN card, he started shouting, Madame, we have reported the issue of your daughter's NIN to the main office, as soon as we hear back from them, we will notify you. I responded, haba Mr. Kola, are we fighting? Why are you shouting at me? He replied, "look Madame, I will hang up this call on you now, I have better things to do than to keep repeating myself to you." His daughter overheard our conversation and told me, "hello ma, please I can print out your daughter's NIN number now, the NIMC server has been restored. Please hang up the call with my dad" While the foolish man was still on the phone ranting... I did just that. After I'd hung up on the foolish man, I asked his daughter, why she had not sent my daughter's NIN to us as promised and I've been worried sick and calling her father, who had been unresponsive, she courteously apologized that she forgot and not only printed us my daughter's NIN card, which had been upgraded from when I did mine, she also sent us an email copy as backup. In summation, Mr. Kola's NIN license should be revoked. As he is an incompetent, unreliable and despicable man! Mr. Kola, I hope you get to read this, as I'd told you, you will be held accountable for your despicable actions! Mrs Adedayo Owolabi.

Hello Nigerian High Commission Ottawa. I applied for a new passport due to a name change (marriage) and I did my biometric capturing about 5 weeks ago. The application form I filled out online carries my updated surname and this was auto generated when I put in my NIN, and I also submitted my NIN verified page. I have been tracking my application and I noticed the application has been pending NIN verification. I am wondering why my application is still pending NIN verification when all information in the NIN is up to date and correct? And everywhere I have used my NIN, it displays the correct bio data. I also noticed that the confirmation slip given to me after capture contains bio data information on my old passport instead of carrying the updated information on my application form and NIN data page. I have attached the screenshots from the tracking, NIN data page and Application form to the email I sent to generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca of which I am yet to get a reply. I will be glad if you can treat this issue as urgent. Thanks.

Hello Susan, I just tried renewing my son's password and when I inputed his NIN number it says invalid Nin provided. I have verified and called two other people to check if I have copied the number correctly and yes I did but still wondering why it's saying invalid Nin provided. What could be the issue? Thanks for your response.

My nin is invalidated

Hi, I came to the consular in June for my capturing and I was told that my NIN wasn’t working. I have reached out to the NIN office and they told me my NIN has been sent out to Nigeria for validation and should start working in two weeks. It has been three weeks now so I sent an email to passportinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca but there has been no reply. I tried to call but there is no customer service line. Please how can I reach out because I urgently need the passport. Thank you
