In October, 2013, the Nigeria-Canada Forum held the 2013 Nigeria-Canada Exchange Series, aimed at strengthening the commercial ties of the two countries. This initiative is part of the larger history of friendly diplomatic relations between Canada and Nigeria in both economic and political spheres.

"[The exchange series] have also helped to develop leaders in the Nigerian-Canadian community," said Bankole Olayele, the President and Professor of Economics at the University of Regina, Canada.

This community of Nigerian-Canadians is steadily growing year to year, with the majority residing in Toronto and other cities in Ontario. According to Statistics Canada, Canada became a permanent home for 3,095 Nigerians and a university destination for almost 2,000 students in 2012.
