Has anyone recently sent their passport through VFS Lagos to Accra? Please what's your timeline and when are you expecting your passport back?
I sent via VFS Lagos on 21st Jan 2022, no update yet, from timelines here I've read, I just calculated it takes atleast 25 working days to get the passport back.
I just thought within myself if I could wait almost 2 years to get PPR, then what's 2 months to wait to get COPR.

I sent via vfs Lagos on Jan 18 while it got to Accra on 20th according to the message sent by VFS Lagos. Yet to receive any message since then. I'm not worried though! The wait will soon be finally over.

2 months is a lot of waiting time though.
I'm hoping to wait for 1 month max.

If you sent to VFS Lagos on 21st Jan, when did it get to Accra? Did you get any update from VFS?

@kinsdippy1990 We sent ours vis VFS Lagos on Jan 14 and VFS sent tracking ID on Jan 19. Just got update from VFS that passports are on the way to IRCC office in Ghana today Feb 9. Hope this helps and please keep me posted as well because it's so hard to find info on VFS Lagos timelines.

Thanks for the update.

That's a lot of time between when you sent it to VFS and and when VFS is sending to IRCC office. It's almost 4 weeks. I wonder how many weeks it will take to return to you.
I'm thinking the whole process may be two months.

You are so lucky, very swift processing
I guess they pile up applications and send in batches, I got the same email yesterday of my application in transit to IRCC office, by Feb end we would have gotten our stamped passports.

Got the same message yesterday. They sent in batches.It won't take up to 10days before the stamped passports are sent back to VAC Ghana.
IVAC Ghana doesn't waste time.It is when it gets to Lagos that they slow down the process of sending it via courier.
All I know is that it will end in praise before the close of this month.
