Congrats. You will receives many email from VFS depending on No of your family. I have received 20 emails from VFS today, 4 different emails for 5 of us (family of 5). The last shows it’s has left VFS Ghana to the point the application was submitted. We should get it next week at most.
 
Submitted on 17th January at Abuja, and the last message was on 23rd indicating that it arrived Ghana, another says on transit to IRCC office Ghana. Nothing since then
we have similar timeline. Request Letter came on the 13th Jan, Submitted at Lagos VFS on 16th Jan, transit to IRCC office in Ghana on 23rd Jan.

Hello all,

What would be a reasonable timeline for a passport submitted at vfs Lagos to return? Is 4-6 weeks a reasonable guestimate? I'm trying to target when I should book my flight. Cheers.

4 to 6 weeks is good. I submitted mine at Abuja on 17th January and arrived today 10th February, it’s a bit less than 4 weeks. You can do 6 weeks maximum in booking your flight.

It’s been almost three weeks since I submitted my passport and yet my passport is still under processing at the IRCC office. My timeline is as follows;
Jan 28, 2023- Original Passport Request
Feb 01, 2023- Passport Submitted to VFS
Feb 01, 2023- Passport Received and Under Processing Accra IRCC Office
I’ve received no updates since then, does it usually take this long?
