The executives of the NCANB have again engaged the Nigeria High Commission Ottawa to render passport issuance/renewal services in New Brunswick this summer. This service is primarily for Nigerians living in New Brunswick and their families that are interested and deemed to be members of NCANB.

As much as participation in this exercise is optional, applicants have the choice to have their passports issued or renewed at the Nigerian High Commission in Ottawa.
NCANB is only facilitating the passport intervention exercise; hence, all inquiries should be directed to the Passport committee or the NCANB executives.

It has been estimated that this intervention can save our community a very huge cost associated with renewing expired passports . This includes all associated costs of traveling to Ottawa to obtain a Nigerian passport.
To this end, NCANB can deliver our programs at cost-effective rates to participants mostly from the precious time contributions of our dedicated volunteers, to whom we owe a debt of gratitude
