About The Nigerian Canadian Association of Montreal
The Nigerian Canadian Association of Montreal was established on the 15th of June 1986. We aim to help Nigerians who arrive in, or are resident in the province of Quebec to better integrate into the society and propagate the cultural riches of Nigeria to Canada's unique cultural system.
The N.C.A also harnesses the collective efforts and goodwill of Nigerians in the province of Quebec, through the exchange of ideas, while exploring the available resources including employment opportunities in the society for the benefit of the Association and its members. We also assist in immigration and settlement counseling services for newly arrived Nigerians in the province of Quebec.
We advocate on behalf of our members and others who turn to us, so that they may obtain the most pertinent help for their needs. The NCA has the mandate of advancing the welfare of Nigerians in Quebec. We also provide relevant information on business, tourism, humanitarian, entertainment, etc to Canadians who are interested in knowing more about Nigeria which is abundantly endowed with natural and human resources.
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.

The 1790s saw the Haitian Revolution begin in 1791 — the only successful slave revolt in history — leading to the establishment of Haiti as the first Black republic. In North America, figures like Benjamin Banneker demonstrated Black intellectual excellence.
The 1890s saw Frederick Douglass continue advocating for civil rights until his death in 1895, and Ida B. Wells launch her anti-lynching campaign. Ethiopia's victory at the Battle of Adwa in 1896 became a powerful symbol of African independence globally.
Nelson Mandela was released from prison in 1990 and became South Africa's first Black president in 1994. Hip-hop emerged as a dominant global force carrying stories of Black experience worldwide. NCA Montreal strengthened diaspora connections during this transformative decade.
The election of Barack Obama as U.S. President in 2008 was a historic milestone. The Black Lives Matter movement brought renewed global attention to systemic racism. Nigerian diaspora communities like NCA Montreal play a vital role in bridging cultures and building new futures in Canada.
