Pl

Pls what is the VFS Accra office address u couriered your passport to?

I was about to come ask the same thing. We were advised at the vfs office in Lagos to use dhl to send it to them (Lagos) then they would be the ones to send to Accra. That doesn’t seem right. Can anyone who has sent their passport help us out please.

Hi, when you get your PPR, there would be a passport submission instruction for you to follow..

There was actually no instruction given. It’s a bit confusing

As much as I am concerned about taking the right step, I am thinking the question of whether to send to Accra or Lagos is irrelevant. I noticed in the PPR letter of "some" posted in this forum earlier on, it was stated expressly to send it to Accra. But the majority of PPR letter or comments I've been seeing posted here didn't specify, thus leaving the recipient with the choice of sending it to any of the VACs - Lagos, Abuja or Accra. Yesterday I was at VFS Lagos though couldn't get in, but the security agent there expressly told me they accept passport submission by courier and that if I did my Biometrics in the Lagos office, I don't need to pay anything, I think he meant the transmission package fee. He said to just send it via courier to them including the Acknowledgement Fee slip gotten during Biometrics. The PPR letter just stated that "the VAC is accepting passport via courier (DHL, UPS, etc.) only". It wasn't specified which VAC to send to directly. I feel strongly inclined to send to the Lagos office, but pls is there anyone with a better idea or clarification about this issue?

I think there are people who sent theirs directly to Accra, however, most of us sent ours through the VFS Lagos.....

I found this on Page 1338 and chose to tag it with this comment. It seems to answer all our questions about Lagos office's acceptance of Passport Submission. It is well detailed. I hope it helpful to us and those awaiting their PPR hereafter.

As of May 1, 2018, all original documents, including passports, must be submitted via the VAC.

Please see: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/ and follow the instructions under the

“Apply for a visa” section.



Visa Application Centres in Nigeria are operating at a reduced level of service. Please ensure that you contact the Visa Application Centre for further information on current procedures for passport submission.

The PPR email actually made reference to Centres in Nigeria.. anyway, I submitted via VFS Lagos, you can only submit via a registered courier..
