    Hi, I have the below questions, 1. How do I go about getting a passport renewed? 2. Do I get to be captured on the day I choose convenient for me or are available dates scheduled for me to pick a capture date? 3. How long does it take from the day of capture before I get the E-passport? Thank you for your quick response

      You cant cancel or reschedule, the Nigeria Immigration Service website does not allow any of the two. Send an email to generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca for assistance.

    Hi, I have already submitted and paid for my application with my current address but I am going to be moving to a new address before my appointment date and I will need my new passport sent to my new address because I will no longer have access to the current mailbox. Can I have the return express envelop addressed to my new address?

    1. Abu SusanSays

      I do not understand your message. If you are yet to come for capture, address your envelope with your new address before dropping it in the black box at the Mission after your biometric exercise.

      10 months ago

      Waiting until the last minute is not a good idea. We posted on our latest news section on our website and all our social media platforms over a year now that all Nigerians in the Diaspora are eligible to renew their passports a year ahead of the expiry date. But applicants do not bother to read. It was designed that way to avoid all these last minute rush and panic. We do not control the calendar. It is now centralized and on the Immigration website. You can send an email to generalinquiries to see if we can find a spot.

    Hello Respected official, I urgently need your help. I need an emergency renewal of my passport because my ticket date for my trip is on the 16th of July, next month. I have written more than ten emails and one reply got. I have applied for passport renewal, paid, and booked an appointment, the available date is November, whereas my trip is next month. Since the past two weeks that the Portuguese embassy official asked me to contact my embassy for an emergency renewal, I have not been able to reach out to anyone via the telephone, let alone through emails at our embassy's office. I am a journalist, with over 10 years of experience, currently on a Ph.D. study leave, doing two programs, one of which necessitates my next month's trip in a group, to Portugal. I wonder if our good embassy is short staff or not getting enough reimbursement from the ministry back home. We can always help you through our reportage so that you can be fully equipped. We can always assist in getting your concern addressed by the new Immigration chief, acting comptroller general of immigration, respected Adepoju Carol Wura-Ola. I think this will go farther in making the embassy has a desk that will at least pick up a call that is very salient and prompt, maybe, after sending a text message sort of, and the official in charge read and attest that it needs urgent attention, then picks calls and advise, or after reading text/email, view that it is redirection or link provision, as the case may be, will kindly do so accordingly. I understand the influx of people on daily bases, but there must be change, and change is possible. HOPE 2023. Change is possible. You can imagine for the past two weeks, I have needed to talk to someone for guidance and urgent assistance, all to no avail. Taking the American embassy as an example, if you apply for a visa and get a date in 2024, there is an open window that says if you need it urgently, apply for expedited visa application. This is the kind of help I need. I couldn't find any column that says, apply for expedited passport renewal on your official site, the reason I kept sending emails is that maybe someone will magnanimously stumble on my email and kindly be of help. Alas! It's been so pathetic, I don't know what to do. I just need help.

      Sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately, with the new enhanced validity passport, we do not have expedited processing. That is why it is not on the website. We do have videos and messages on the website explaining why. It takes two-4weeks to process the passport now. And in a situation where there is a problem with an applicant's NIN, it takes up to two months to process because it has to go to Abuja for correction. I will send your message to one of the staff about the need for a closer date of appointment. You also need to pick the November date on the NIS website, else even if you get a closer date, the immigration officers cannot access your data in Ottawa.

    Subject: Urgent Request for Expedited Passport Appointment Date Dear Sir/Ma, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to urgently request your assistance regarding the appointment date for my passport renewal. Currently, the assigned appointment date is significantly distant, and the status of my PR application is contingent upon the timely renewal of my passport. Given the critical nature of this situation, I humbly implore the consular to utilize their office's resources and influence to help expedite the appointment process. I genuinely believe that with your intervention, a more recent appointment date can be secured. I sincerely appreciate your understanding and prompt attention to this matter. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if any further information or documentation is needed. Thank you for your invaluable support. Yours faithfully Joseph 8733549252

    I applied for my international passport renewal on June 21, 2023 for 10 years booklet. Unfortunately, after making my payment was only when I found the next available date was well beyond my passport expiry date of November 4, 2023. I’m in Canada for a medical emergency for my son but must leave by July 16, 2023 due to visa rules of 6 months maximum stay. I’ll however return immediately to continue with the care. I paid a physical visit on Friday, July 23, 2023 to pursue fast tracking of my application. I was given an email address to write to and assured of a timely response. However, till today, June 27, 2027, I’m yet to get any response. My application Ref no is 3354197978. At 60+, I’m accorded courtesies here as a senior citizen and expected same from the High Commission. Please when shall I get a response and an earlier date?

    Hi and wondering why emails are replied with generic responses and calls never get picked up by the commission? I came in for a passport renewal from Calgary with my 5yr old son on the 8th of May, 2023 and waited in vain to get our passports sent. I got a mail that my son had to come back for a recapture because the picture taken had his head cropped off. I have called several times to know how best to resolve this error and inadequacy from the high commission staff to no effect. I hope I get some answers on here or at least pointers on how best to get a response from the commission. Thanks

      Sorry to hear that. The only solution is to bring him back for recapture. Please use your old appointment letter and the child's application details to get into the Mission and explain to the security officer why you came back. You can also print the email you got and come with it. Please ensure not to come on a public holiday or weekend.

      If only you took the time to read news updates on our homepage, you would not be out of status now. We posted there that August 7 is a public holiday and that all those with booking for the date or any public holiday can come on another date of choice with the same letter to renew their passports. Come with the same letter. Read our news, don't wait to speak to someone. Answers to 90% of the questions I see here are on the website. Let's read, please.

    Hello Ma, Please I came for my capture on June 27th 2023 and I haven't gotten my passport. I keep calling but can't reach anyone, I also sent several emails all of which weren't responded to. My permit has expired and I do not have time on my side all of which i mentioned in my emails to them with proof. My application no is 19242351 and my reference number is 6501161372 I also tracked via Canada post but they haven't sent it out so there is no information. Please help me tell them i need my passport urgently.

      If you came in June, then you must have a problem with your NIN or another issue. Send a reminder email to general inquiries.

    Hi, I have three questions for you, 1. I was successful with my passport renewal online application, paid and got the receipt but no Passport Acknowledgement Slip, please how do I locate that? Or, is that supposed to be the payment receipt? 2. Do I need to make any other payment after the online payment? 3. I heard that I have to do bank draft or money order, how much is it? Thank you for the help.

      This is why you should go through the High Commissions website to book your appointment instead of going directly to the NIS website. We have a guide for all you need and the link to NIS on our website. The answers to your questions are there. Please help us to help you. We do not expect to answer questions that the answers are already posted on our website here. 1. your receipt is it 2. You need to get a 50 CAD money order in the name of the Nigeria High Commission. 3. That is the money order.

    Hello, Please I am reaching out to you as I am yet to receive my new passport till date after capturing on Friday, March 24, 2023. Admittedly I made a mistake in the application and entered my date of birth incorrectly as April 3, 1987 instead of July 3, 1987. On the day of capturing, they had mentioned this was going to be corrected after being sent to the Abuja office. But on May 24, 2023, I received a call from +16132360521 and spoke to a lady called Linda. She requested that I need to make a new application for my passport application, that the former one has expired. The application for a passport renewal was made on May 1, 2022 and capturing was done in the Nigerian High Commission, Ottawa on March 24, 2023. But I am confused how come I am being asked to make a new application when I came in for capturing on March 24, 2023 which is over a month before May 1, 2023 when the payment was said to be expired. I am surprised why I am being asked to make a new payment when the former was valid when I completed the application process which included capturing. Please can you let me know the status of the passport renewal and when I can receive it in the mail as this is over 5 months now with no response after numerous emails sent to generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca. It looks as if I am being ignored and this is not fair. Below see my details below and attached; Application ID: 18788516 Application Reference ID: 65416513666123 Name: Elimimian Osemare Henry Email: henry.elimimian1@gmail.com Phone: +14372148911 I look forward to your favourable response.

    Hi Susan, Please is there a way to fast track the renewal of those passports expiring soon so we don't run out of status. Also I started this passport renewal process since January but because the contact number for BC NIN vendor on the site isn't correct, the whole process was delayed for me.Please can you look into this so others won't face the same issue.

    Hello Team, I would like to know the status of my passport renewal processing. I was at the Commission in Ottawa on 17Aug2023 as advised on my appointment letter for data capture and everything went well. Collection date was suppose to be 22Aug2023 as stated on my confirmation slip. I kept checking the status on NIS website but noticed that the application is still at "Application received" despite going for data capturing. I would like to beg you to please act fast so that I can use the renewed passport to apply for study permit extension. I have also sent email to generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca but did not get a response. Regards

      Unfortunately, generalinquiries cannot assist on this one. You have to go to the website of the Nigeria Immigration Service to send them an email about it. They are responsible for anything concerning application and payment because they are on their site. We do not have access to their site.

      Send an email to generalinquries with a good reason to change your date. They will search for available dates for you. This information is on the news section of our website. Please read before posting questions. You must also pick a date from the website of the Nigeria Immigration Service even if it is 2024. The officers need it for processing. The letter from generalinquiries is only for admission to the passport office.

    1. Abu SusanSays

      Unfortunately, I dont know how you will handle that because the email you got from generalinquiries is to allow you entrance to the Mission, but the Immigration officers need your original appointment letter from the Immigration website for your biometric exercise. So you may have to send an email to the NIS to ask for the letter. We have no control over their website so we cant access it. Their email addresses are on their website and they respond to applicants.
