Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[Wiriam]

Please do we have anyone who submitted Passport to Accra VO through Lagos or Abuja VFS in June with their passport returned. I have mine submitted since June 14, approved June 30 and have not gotten back passport till now

Same here . I submitted via VFS Abuja on the 8th of June but I’ve not gotten my passport back

 

[AVODamn!!!]

Can I submit my passport in Ottawa? My PPR letter did not specify where to send and with a lot of people having issues with Lag and ABJ vfs, I'm thinking to send to Ottawa instead.

Any thoughts?

I took the initiative to email VFS Ghana.
This is for @Nneji and (future) applicants submitting passport to VFS in Ghana.

Note: For those in Nigeria, you may need to confirm payment slip amount online or with applicants who already submitted their passport.

Are we to include a return envelop with this?

 

[Midepearls]

Thanks. Have you sent your passport? If not, are you planning to send through Lag or Abj vfs?

I haven’t but I’m not sending through Lagos ooo

From what I read in this thread from previous applicants is if you're based in Ghana you can include prepaid envelope. However, it's not permitted for those in Nigeria.
You can always contact DHL to confirm.

Timeline

application was sent in May 2020 , didn’t even get AOR until November 2020, biometrics was in February, medicals was done on May 6 2021,Pre arrival was on 31 May 2021 and Passport request 22nd July 2021.

things I did that helped or would help

1- contact mp (make sure u do that strategically)
2- make sure any supporting documents you send them are received, my case pregnancy note or report from the doctor didn’t get to IRCC
3- let you spouse in Canada call IRCC (when they do,IRCC picks up ,na we we they Ghana di3 dem no go biz u sef )

wish everyone Godspeed and the best of luck.

Congratulations!!!!!!!! Great news.

It states fees include return of your passport, sorry I missed that part. I believe this is applicable for those in Ghana as this email was on behalf of my husband who resides in Accra, Ghana. Those in Nigeria will need to make arrangements with DHL for pick up.

Can you share your timeline please. I am new here

 

[Akissi18]

Please don't hesitate to contact VFS on your own - to verify the validity of information provided, as well as further questions you may have. This is all new to me, I learn as I go. I don't want me to mislead or be held accountable for anyone/anything, everyone's case is different. I just had to insert this for my peace of mind. xx Blessings
