Me as a Canadian I didn't even know this....Anyways, I don't speak French so I guess that's why!!
Thanks
I’ve read it I just don’t want to make any mistake and have her application return back to her. So if someone who already receive copr can help it’ll be very much appreciated.
Copied from previous post:
SUBMITTING OF PASSPORTS TO VFS
NOTE THAT YOU CAN SUBMIT YOUR DOCUMENTS TO ANY VFS OF YOUR CHOICE WORLDWIDE (as long as your ppr letter does not specify), AND STILL GET YOUR COPR.
In fact, most VFS offices outside of Africa are a lot faster than that of Lagos, Abuja, Accra, and you can contact them directly for their process.
However, we have detailed the steps for VFS Lagos, Abuja, Accra, below should you decide to submit through them:
Gather all documents required by IRCC and VFS:
1. International Passport (for PA and all accompanying spouse/dependents)
2. 2 Passport Photographs(PA/spouse and dependents)
in IRCC format , 1 passport should be stamped at the back with date and signature of the photo studio, then you write your name and date of birth too. The other passport should be plain at the back i.e not stamped.
3. Passport Request Letter
This should be printed and stapled together
4. Height and Eye Colour Chart
This comes with the ppr letter too,fill this for PA and every accompanying spouse/ dependent
5. IMM008 (ONLY) for those with a change in family composition . If no change you can ignore or write a brief letter to confirm no change in family composition.
6. 2 CVAC form (according to your Biometrics receipt , if you have one biometric receipt with names of all family member, fill just 2 as the PA, if the biometrics receipt was given separately for each family member,then 2 CVAC form for each member)Fill the applicable pages .
Ensure number and email will be that of the PA. - From VAC website
7. 2 photocopy of every family member’s International Passport.
8. Biometrics Slip to avoid paying for transmission fees. It can only be used for the vfs office you did your biometrics, if not you have to pay applicable fees below
the biometrics slip and the passport that was originally attached to it should be attached to the CVAC forms
9. Proof of Transmission fee payment (N9,410 per person).
Make payment to:
Account name: Canadian Logistics Collection Account
Bank: Sterling bank
Account: Number:0065165839
Transmission fee will only be paid if you are sending passports to another vfs office other than that you did your biometrics also for children not added for biometrics originally.
Payment can be done by transfer or in person bank payment (just ensure you have proof of payment attached)

Payment can be made through any family or resident in Ghana but if you don't have anybody there, walk into any Ecobank in Nigeria and tell them you want to make payment into an Ecobank Ghana account. You will have to go with the USD equivalent of the amount and there are charges.
Read carefully please.
Thank you. Please can you highlight the process for getting stamped passort delivered from VFS Lagos to my preferred location?
My wife paid 202ghc… I spoke with one of their employees and he said she has to pay 202ghc through ecobank. She’s a Ghanaian so I’m guessing the process will be quicker than those shipping from Nigeria
