The exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar and the Nigerian Naira has experienced significant fluctuations over the past two decades. Before the 2016 forex crisis, 1 CAD traded around ₦200 – ₦250. Following the economic recession and multiple devaluations of the Naira, the rate climbed steadily, often crossing ₦1,000 by 2023 and reaching new highs in 2024–2025 due to high demand for foreign currency and limited dollar/euro supply in the official market.
The gap between the official CBN rate and the black market (parallel market) rate widened considerably during periods of economic uncertainty, fuel subsidy removal, and global inflation. Today, many individuals and businesses prefer the black market rate because it reflects real-time supply and demand more accurately than the official window.
