Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[peterjohn]

Hello Everyone,
Please do you have to book an appointment to submit your passport in person after receiving a PPR?
Any response would be appreciated. Thanks.

What is the submission information in the letter?

if it's a permanent residence application, I think you can, but it'll be easier to send it through VFS, cos they'll provide tracking information every step of the way. if you're in Ghana, just send a mail to info.canghaiom@vfshelpline.com and request for the necessary information for submitting your passport. but if you're in Nigeria, send an email to info.cannig@vfshelpline.com.

if you're in Nigeria you can also send straight to VFS Accra, just send a mail to the Accra address and state that you want to send your passport to them from Nigeria

Sending straight to VFS Accra is faster but more expensive compared to sending through VFS Lagos. it'll take Accra about 2 weeks to send your passport back but people that have sent through VFS Lagos have said it takes about 6 weeks.

I personally sent straight to Accra VFS cos I didn't want to wait 6 weeks and I got my passport back in exactly 2 weeks.


But if its a Visiting Visa, I can't tell because I have no information on that. because I've seen people that send their passports to Nairobi from Nigeria for Temporary Visas.

But if you're Ghana and it's a visiting visa, just contact VFS and let them know.

Goodluck

Thanks a lot for the response. Greatly appreciated.

The letter itself doesn't provide much information about submission of the passport. It just lists the passport requirements (eg. passport must be valid, etc.)

I live in Accra and it's a visitors visa so I guess I'll contact VFS Accra to inquire about in-person submission.

Pple with multiple passports. Did anybody experience a situation where for example 4 out of 5 trackers say passport is dispatched to VAC from VO while 1 of them is still saying Under process at visa office for over a week now. Same application for the 5. Is it possible 1 passport was left behind or tracker for that 1 not updated by mistake.

Just a question, did she got an email right there while at the IOM or the officer told her? Also did your Ecas changed to decision made right away? Glad to see your journey is over

I pray you hear good news soon and even though she left with her visa and papers it took a few hours before the Ecas changed with the approved decision and the counterfoil

Quick question for the ones that have already arrived: when your sponsored partner is coming over is just the counterfoil and passport they need to come? Also how was the arrival and any tips that you may have to may it easier would help

Original COPR and passport….. not counterfoil. The arrival was smooth, less than 15minutes with the immigration officer. I landed at Montreal.

So the visa stamp in her passport is not COPR?

It’s not, the COPR will come with the returned passport.
