The Nigerian-Canadian Association of Calgary (NCAC) is a non-profit and non-political association established in January 1993, with it’s center of activities and headquarters based in the NE of Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Upon acceptance of an application to join the Association, a new Member shall immediately pay a non-refundable one-off registration fee to the Association. Subject to the amendment of the Bylaw in future, unless and until changed by a two-third (2/3) majority vote of Members in attendance at an Annual General Meeting at which a new Executive is being elected, the applicable registration fee shall be as follows:
(i) Resident Member:
A. Single: $25.00
B. Family: $45.00
(ii) Affiliate Member: $110.00

Passport Intervention occurs twice a year. It is typically done around June and December.
This service is primarily for NCAC members and their families in good financial standing as at May 31st, of the current year. Non-members are welcome to take advantage of this opportunity. Applicable fees for members and non-members varies. Please note the following:
Participating in this exercise is optional, applicants have the choice to have their passports issued or renewed at the Nigerian High Commission in Ottawa.
NCAC is only facilitating the passport intervention exercise, hence all enquiries should be directed to the Nigerian High Commission and not the volunteers helping with this exercise. To date, past interventions executed by the NCAC in conjunction with the Nigerian High Commission have saved our community over $600,000. This included all associated cost of travelling to Ottawa to obtain Nigerian passport. It is our expectation that this initiative would continue to save our community significant amount of money and time. NCAC is able to deliver our programs at cost effective rates to participants mostly from the precious time contributions of our dedicated volunteers. Please we will need volunteers for the 4 days that we will execute this program.
