It was great, wonderful experience, everything is simple here, the system is working, the immigration people don't stress traveller's.

I'm really happy for you.

When you got to UK, did you have to show any covid document?

Also to board the flight from Ghana and UK, did they ask for any other thing besides arriveCan receipt and covid negative result and the ticket?

You don't show anything like covid test or arrive can, you only show you scan your passport and when boarding a flight you scan your boarding ticket, you only show your pcr test results when you get to Canada..... You will fill out the rest of arriveCan questions when you get home.

Good day guys I recieved my decision envelope with the visa and passport stamped today.
Finally. @Nneji

Please how long did it take and which of the visa office did you send it to?. I am asking because I haven't heard anything going to 2 weeks now. I used the Lagos vsf.

Awwwn. Just sit tight. Lol... its funny but honestly not funny.
July 26 - Sent passport via DHL to VFS Lagos.
July 27 - VFS Lagos sends tracking number and update that passport is in Transit to IRCC.
Aug 12 - VSF Accra Sent acknowledgement that they have received document. (By the way I saw an update on GC Key Online account requesting for additional document called "observation" that made no sense, so I uploaded the data page of passport).
Aug 24 - Update in Online account showing COPR and Visa details.
Aug 26 - VSF Ghana Received Document
Sept 2 - Passport returned to VSF lagos.
Sept 3 - Passport collected by courier on that Friday to be dispatched next working day.
Sept 6 - Received Passport from Courier @ home. They used UPS.

So total time from when passport was sent (July 26) till date it was returned (Sept 6) was 6 annoying weeks.

Meanwhile, someone living in Ghana that sent passport to their VSF Accra office till passport return took only 10 days. E be tinz oooo...

Just sit tight and keep praying it comes on time, but expected the unexpected or rather the "expected" (6 weeks or more).

I know I have asked this before, but I just want clarification one more time. The COPR on GCKey, that you received on August 24th. Is that a pdf document? Or is it just the blurb under Document Status. We have that on our account, with the counterfoil document number and details. But I don't see any COPR. Unless that is what it is.

The COPR ll be sent to you along with your passport. Usually 2 copies.

Nah, you are correct. It's not a PDF doc, just an update showing expiration date of the visa.
You will get the actual COPR doc plus Passport when package is returned to you via courier (UPS).

Ah ok, thank you so much for the information. When we have nothing to do but wait, sometimes the mind starts overthinking and worry kicks in. SMH
