Thank you very much kollins, i can confirm that the tracking number is now working and his passport will be deliver to him on Monday 29th of June, thanks for your details response


kollins said:
When the return envelope is successfully utilized,the local visa office will(99% of times) not send a pick-up mail to such applicant since its absolutely not necessary.The main reason for the pick-up mail is to advice you to contact your designated courier service to pick you package back to you after authorizing them.
In sending UPS return (if done appropriately),you have already authorized UPS to deliever your passports and pick it after it is ready.In this case,the pick up mail is sent to your designated courier service to come and pick it from the local visa office so it will go through the same route that your passports was delivered.
ACCRA VISA OFFICE sent Passport request to your friend-------UK UPS-------ACCRA UPS---------ACCRA VISA OFFICE FACILITY
ACCRA VISA OFFICE sent pick-up mail to ACCRA UPS------------UK UPS---------Your friend.
Your friend will be contacted by UK UPS to come and pick his package or they may deliver it.
Let him confirm from UK UPS first...after which Accra UPS can be contacted.
If the tracking isn't active yet,Accra Visa office may yet to pick it up from Accra visa office facility......its just 3 days after decision made....i will advice your friend to relax and be calm.
Cheers

Hello my peeps. Thank God for the positive updates, it shows we are gradually moving forward and it is ending in praises for all of us.

Please I have a query and I need advice. My wife's international passport expired earlier this week and we have gotten it renewed. I am presently waiting for my MR hopefully before July runs out.

The point now is, do I raise a CSE now and update AVO about the passport renewal or just wait for the MR to come and update it by then?

I learnt CSE sometimes slows down/delays processing and I am not sure I want any further delay for now

Please advise.

I

I'm having a similar issue but in as much as I wished to raise a CSE, professionals advised me to wait for the MR as they will definitely request for update.
Its your choice at the end of the day.

Praise the Lord, everybody. He has done great things. Amazing Grace, in the manner of Barack Obama's speech at Charleston, South Carolina yesterday.

At 10:19am yesterday, our passports and CoPR landed at my doorstep safely - relieving me of my misery in tracking them from AVO through DHL Accra to DHL NG between June 19 and yesterday. It was an awful experience. In the process, DHL dropped someone else's AVO shipment at my residence along with mine. Anyway, all that was sorted out yesterday and DHL came back for them - after my wife contacted the person with the phone number on the shipment to let him know that the docs. were with us, unopened and safe but that DHL and DHL alone should come to retrieve the shipment.

Anyway, we bless God that this Nigerian end of our Canadian expedition is ending in praise.

Below, I have updated my timeline:

To God be all the glory for the great things He has done and is doing.

Thank you so much to Pipis Husband, first, for creating this forum and to everyone else that pitched in to offer one advice or the other. A great TEAM we are - Together Everyone Achieves More. I didn't use any consultant. You all were my consultants - a case of more heads being better than one. My eldest son said to my wife and I that something that started like a joke is ending in this unimaginable reality. It can only be God.

Now, we set out sights on preparing to move to Canada.

Thanx everybody.
