Not a Canadian immigration issue. Ask the Nigerian embassy.

Yes, you can apply to renew your expired Nigerian passport in Canada on a visitor visa. You will need to contact the Nigerian High Commission in Ottawa to make an appointment. You will need to bring your expired passport, a completed application form, two passport-sized photographs, and the required fees. The processing time for a passport renewal is typically 4-6 weeks.

Here are the steps on how to renew your expired Nigerian passport in Canada on a visitor visa:

1. Contact the Nigerian High Commission in Ottawa to make an appointment.
2. Gather the required documents:
   • Expired Nigerian passport
   • Completed application form
   • Two passport-sized photographs
   • Required fees
3. Attend your appointment at the Nigerian High Commission.
4. Pay the application fees.
5. Provide your biometrics (fingerprints and photo).
6. Wait for your passport to be processed.

The processing time for a passport renewal is typically 4-6 weeks. Once your passport is processed, you will be notified by the Nigerian High Commission.
Here are some of the documents you will need to renew your Nigerian passport in Canada:

• Passport application form: You can download the passport application form from the Nigerian High Commission website.
• Expired Nigerian passport: You will need to submit your expired Nigerian passport.
• Two passport-sized photographs: The photographs must be recent and meet the Nigerian High Commission's requirements.
• Required fees: The fees for renewing a Nigerian passport in Canada vary depending on the type of passport you are renewing.
• Biometrics: You will need to provide your biometrics (fingerprints and photo) when you apply for a passport renewal.

However, it is important to note that the Nigerian High Commission may require you to leave Canada while your passport is being processed.
This is because the High Commission may not be able to issue you a new passport while you are still in Canada on a visitor visa.
If you are unsure whether you will be allowed to stay in Canada while your passport is being processed, you should contact the Nigerian High Commission in Ottawa for more information.
