processed passport has been forwarded to the Canada Visa Office, ACCRA on 13/03/2019.To know more, please call VAC helpline number or visit VAC website.

What should i do @tobs
Nothing.
It means your passport is at the Accra VO, and in 2-3 weeks time it should be ready for pick up.

Hello @tobs, I submitted my passport on March 4 but my tracker says it is being processed. I have to travel urgently out of the country next week wednesday. What can I do? I have called vfs but was given same response as my tracker says. Also sent mails to the email address stated on this thread.

Any other thing to do, pls advise. Thank you.

Hi dear. I submitted on the 25th of February. Application was approved on the 14th of March, and passport was sent back to the VFS office on the same day. VFS updated my tracker on the 19th that the passport has been couriered to me. Still waiting to receive it today.
Oh. Okay. Received it yet?

There's nothing you can do. try to postpone your trip till your passport gets back. Has your application been approved on your profile ?Hopefully you'll get it early next week.

Good morning. Thank God I am finally here in this thread. Really prayed for it.

Thank you @tobs for the help and kind words rendered when I bugged you.

I got my PPR mail today and was given only 15days to submit to VFS.

Now I have a question, I stay in uyo.

Should I travel to Lagos to submit it at the VFS office.

Should I courier it through DHL to Accra straight or to VFS.

Seeing as the time is so short, what's my best option.

Please a reply would be really helpful to me

Hi @Cookie000 and @tobs, today, I visited the sterling bank branch in PH and made these payments for the transmission of two passports to Accra:


*Transmission of passport to the Embassy of Canada in Accra, 17790 naira * 2 = 35580 Naira.

*Return courier 10120 Naira.

*GC service charge 1270 Naira.

From there I proceeded to DHL office where I paid 5500 for courier of my docs to vfs.

Is there something I am missing? Cox I read online this evening that the courier fee I paid to Vfs supposed to be times two also. And am supposed to pay DHL return courier fee. Kindly advise
@Leesharh read this and read our follow up comments..

I am running through serious confusion as to what to pay.

On the VFS website, I read that if you are submitting your passport to the same VFS office that you submitted your biometrics, you are not required to pay the transmission fee.

It's there in black and white, I so wish I was in Abuja right now so I could just walk in.

Anyways, to be on the safe side, this is what I paid for. Can someone tell me if I am correct

Passport transmission fee x 2: 35580
Courier fee: 10120
GC fee: 1270
Total of 46,790

I am proceeding to DHL now to courier the documents.

I saw a vac consent form, am I supposed to download it n attach to it.

Someone, anyone, who did biometrics and submitted in the same place of biometric, please help.

Based on the previous thread you are okay. Since it is dhl submitting your documents i think you don't need the consent form.

On the VFS website, I read that if you are submitting your passport to the same VFS office that you submitted your biometrics, you are not required to pay the transmission fee. I saw it too but since I didn't do biometrics because it isn't applicable to me as at that time, I didn't bother finding out. In your case, I would have suggested that you try and contact VFS even if it means doing so after sending your application to them via the courier company. Write to them and if it happens that you need not to pay passport transmission to Accra, you can ask them for a refund.

Wow. 20 business days!

Does the message change on the tracking when it has been approved or does it always show "processed passport has been forwarded to accra" and then "passport dispathced"

Once it is approved it will change to passport dispatched. And even IRCC will alert you via your online accounts it has been approved.
