2. If yes please send me the downloaded form to 5Csfurnitures@gmail.com

I think we filled the family composition form and left the extra space blank since we didn't have an additional member
For the passports, search for a studio 24 near you, remember to show them the spec as instructed even though they already know once you tell them what the passport photographs are for...

Yes it is, but when you also submit your passport you get a generic message that makes it seem like your passport already has the visa on it and is ready for pick up.

I just got the generic email from VFS.

Visa application, tracking ID No..... Your processed passport has been received at the Canada Visa Application Centre, on 2020/12/15 and is ready for collection. Your decision envelope will be returned to you via the courier service offered by the VAC. Collection of decision envelopes in-person at the VAC is not permitted until further notice. Please refer to the “Buy Services” page of the VAC website for further information on courier services offered by the VAC. To know more, please call VAC helpline number or visit VAC website.


I find it amazing that it will cost 12x the amount I paid to send it to them via DHL to return my passport

That's bad. That's why they don't want us sending dhl return envelopes in advance. Now they'll make you pay shipping per applicant and per dependant, even though it will come in one package

100% sure that DHL probably offered them a subsidised rate because of volume. This is actually daylight robbery. Some of us literally live either on the same street or less than 10 mins away and it will cost NGN12,000+ to deliver documents that weigh less than 1kg.

I just received this mail from VFS this morning. Its is not clear, in fact the mail has error. Does it mean passports are ready for collection and did anyone else get it?

Visa application, tracking ID No. *********"" The envelope for the decision on the results of your visa that has been processed has been received at the Canadian Visa Application Center at Ghana OC, on the date. We will then send this to the Canadian Visa Application Center Ghana OC. Please note that this is an automated email. Please DO NOT reply to this email. Your decision envelope will be returned to you via the courier service offered by the VAC. Collection of decision envelopes in-person at the VAC is not permitted until further notice.

I guess this is confirming that VFS Ghana received your documents from VFS Lagos. It will then be transferred to Accra VO.

When did you send your documents to VFS Lagos?
