ISSUANCE OF VISA BY THE NIGERIA HIGH COMMISSION

Hello, hi; So I have paid and submitted my visa application and after payment was prompt to book an appointment…which I did. I had to reschedule my appointment but the system wouldn’t let me so as suggested on the website, I waited 24hours after missed appointment to reschedule but still I am unable to because the statement keeps stating that I already have an appointment (which was missed). I called vfs global and apparently they are not taking any in person appointments and I should have been able to book one. I was told I would have to mail it in however according to the representative it will take minimum 30days to process and I would need the visa in 3 weeks for which the rep stated they do not think I will receive it by then. And so I would like to cancel my application and request a refund and was told to contact the Nigerian immigration services in Ottawa however there is no contact number to reach the immigration services. How do I go about cancelling and requesting a refund for my application? Thank you.

Dear Honorable Consulate General and teammates, Respected Oga Sir, we are a Nigerian company that has been in operation for more than three years. I (Indian) have been with the company for over 18 months and have been in Nigeria for over 9 years. I have a current cerpac (uploaded for your convenience). We would want to request your help and guidance in obtaining a STR visa from Canada for; My SON, age 20, is studying in Canada, London, ON, and we want him to join family in Nigeria (from 19th Aug – 9th Sept) because we haven't seen each other in the last three years because to COVID, he was in India and we were in Nigeria, and then he went to Canada. Please kindly advise us on how we can obtain his STR Visa from Canada while he is there, as well as the time period and documents required from the company and my side. Please accept my gratitude for your great assistance. Regards, Ashish Darji +234 907 048 0213

Hi, We were given 6 months appointment for passport RENEWAL. We started the process in June/2023 and were given Dec/ 2023 appointment. We traveled to Ottawa to plead for an earlier appointment and we were turned back. We sent an email to request an earlier appointment as directed by Ottawa and our request was declined. We were advised to apply for travel document with our plane ticket. Is this now the norm? I feel six months is a very long time to wait. Thank you

Hi, I just want to know if there is any authorized vendor in Niagara region to register for NIN.

How long does it take to process a Nigerian visa? On the VFS Global website, it says 15 to 20 working days, but after applying, I noticed a delay. When I called, I was told to wait for the full 30 business days. I had already booked my ticket close to the presumed processing time I saw on the VFS Global website. I'm frustrated and would like to know the actual processing time for a Nigerian visa and if Nigeria embassy can be of help to me, to look into the matter so I won't loose my ticket 😢

Hello Sir/ Ma, Greetings! I wanted to enquire about the processing of an Emergency Travel Certificate (ETC) for my minor child. He is Nigerian by descent but Canadian-born. He has never owned a Nigerian Passport but has an NIN Slip. On the website, a copy of the Nigerian passport bio page or birth certificate from the National Population is required as part of the documents required to process the ETC. Can I submit my Nigerian Bio-data page (expired) and my birth certificate, my husband’s Nigerian Bio-data page along with my minor child’s Canadian Birth Certificate, NIN Slip and Canadian Passport with the application? Also, how early in advance can the ETC application be submitted for a trip in September? Please advise. I look forward to a favourable response. Thank you! Best regards, Sandy

Hello. I applied for a visitor's visa to visit my fiance and the father of my child. We booked our tickets for departure on July 23, 2024. I applied for my visiting visa (F6A) in early June. VFS Global's visa processing centre states my application was dispatched to the High Commission on June 26, 2024 and we have yet to receive any information regarding my application - reference number NGA/YOW/250624/0001/01. I am wondering if I am going to receive my passport and visa in time or if I will need to rebook my flight, accommodation, and travel insurance as well.

Hello, I applied to renew my passport early this month. I came for my biometrics on the 21st of June 2024 and I am yet to get a response. From my confirmation slip, it says I should be expecting it by July 22nd, 2024 but we are in August now. Why is this happening? It's not fair. I also sent a couple of emails, but still nothing. I am an international student and I need to extend my study permit. I beg you I need a response or please send my passport. Thank you
