The High Commission has the mandate of advancing the welfare of Nigerians in Canada through its consular services, as well as promoting stronger bilateral ties between Nigeria and Canada, particularly in the areas of trade, investment, education, technological transfer, international cooperation, etc. We provide relevant information on business, tourism, humanitarian, and entertainment to Canadians interested in knowing more about Nigeria, which is abundantly endowed with natural and human resources.
Nigeria has enormous potential for rapid growth, as huge opportunities for investment abound in Agriculture, Energy, Infrastructure, Financial Services, Tourism, Education, and Information and Communications Technology, amongst others.
As the most populous country on the African continent, Nigeria provides the gateway to other African markets, especially those within the West Africa sub-region. These, alongside Government’s sustained efforts to create a robust business environment, make Nigeria a preferred investment and tourism destination in Africa.
Nigeria’s tourism sector is positioned for significant expansion, driven by strategic investments, cultural richness, and diverse travel experiences. With a growing global interest in African destinations, Nigeria is enhancing its visibility and infrastructure to meet rising demand.
Nigeria’s festivals, traditions, and historical landmarks attract global tourists seeking authentic cultural experiences.
Destinations like Obudu, Awhum, and Yankari are gaining attention for eco-friendly adventure and natural beauty.
Initiatives and policies are being introduced to improve tourism infrastructure, security, and international partnerships.
More Nigerians are exploring their homeland, and diaspora visitors are returning to discover their roots and heritage.
At the High Commission of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, we strive to deliver effective and qualitative consular and visa services to Nigerian Citizens and intending visitors to Nigeria. Kindly let us know how we are doing – we are always looking for ways to improve our service delivery
