ACCRA VFS passport submission estimated return time.

I can't see any organized posts about VFS in Accra turn around times
Submitted passport today for visa stamping in person at VFS in Accra.
Your application, tracking ID No. xxxxxxxxxx has been dispatched to the IRCC Office, on 2022/12/07 for processing.
Has anyone gone through this process? I am not asking about folks mailing in from Nigeria.
I am looking for anyone who has handed their passports in at Accra VFS for visa counterfoil.

My passport was received at IRCC office since December 14th, 2022 and it's still not ready till now. I have a planned important trip for next week. Anyone know how I can reach IRCC Accra to request them to release my passport?

Guys, I need your advice. My application has been approved and passport received. My application address on my COPR shows a different province, however, I am entering Canada through another province, because my husband moved to another province 2 months ago. He has been trying to update the address through the web form but it hasn’t been updated yet and he tried calling to speak to an agent but the line has been too busy. What do I do know? Can the address be changed at entry? Or will I have to go through the original province and then take a local flight to my destination ( this option would be quite expensive and stressful)
