This is where i say i big thank you to everyone for coming on this journey with me.

I am officially done with ircc till citizenship time.
My PR card just landed.

I landed on the 18th Dec 2023
PR card sent on the 9th Jan 2024.

It took 3weeks for the whole process

I chose Nairobi myself coz they are faster.

SophiaObiefule:
Please I want clarity, are you the one that chose to send your passport to Nairobi or is it IRCC that will tell you which office (Accra or Nairobi) to send your passport to?

Na wa for Accra o. I am hoping y’all gets the update sooner. I am now in Canada and the weather is already dealing with me but we go survive. All best guys

11elleo:
yes i also got a ghost update on dec 27th, i had an earlier ghost update end of november. i think its usually 2 ghost updates people see. so i will be surprised if next week passes again with no update.

I am already in Canada through a Spousal. As for the OPWP, i didn’t get any updates on that even before i got my PPR .

Angelsl:
Hi any update?

I don’t have their contact. I only reached out to them via web calls and got a quick response.

Unclefatiu:
Thank you for the response, can you please share the contact of VFS Kenya if you have it.

I have responded.

Unclefatiu:
Please share your contact for the return label,I’ve tried sending you a DM. Thank you.

My passport has been returned 🙏🏾
it took 10 working days between the process of submission and return.

DHL drop off in Lagos - 24 November

DHL delivered to VFS Nairobi- 27 November

VFS Nairobi delivered to IRCC for processing - 29 November

Counterfoil generated on GCkey account - 29 November

Passport arrived back at VFS Nairobi and ready for pick up - 30 November

DHL picked up at VFS for return - 1st Dec

DHL returned passport back to VFS Nairobi due to error in waybill number - 4th Dec

DHL pickup again after I contacted VFS and DHL to ask why I couldn’t track my shipment, it was a lot of back and forth sha at the end, i was asked to resend my return waybill paper - 5th Dec

Passport shipped: 5th Dec

Passport delivered and received - 7th Dec

I would like to commend the help of Nairobi VFS and DHL customer service reps for ensuring the issue was resolved with 3hours.they definitely have one of the best customer service team.

Also, if you have the plans to send to nairobi, ensure your return waybill is stapled and if possible attach two copies for them lol.

Thank you all for the support and i wish everyone the best from here 🙏🏾🎉🎉

I wont advice you to leave coz the requirements is that you need to be in Canada, except it’s a quick trip you intend to make before returning to canada.

Lordfiido:
Hi
I know it’s been a while you sent this but I’d like to know if one can leave Canada after applying for the work permit and re enter once it has been approved since the TRV is still valid.

Nice. I just checked mine just now. My counterfoil was issued yesterday.
Waiting for passport to be returned now.

Firemax:
Checked gckey got counter foil 24th this month

My package was sent on Friday and just got delivered to vfs kenya today. I’ll keep y’all updated on the progress.

This is the process of sending a package to kenya.

Thank you. I just sent to kenya today becoz I can’t afford not to spend Christmas with my spouse. Please how long does kenya takes to return passport?

Griffin22:
It will come back soonest, Accra takes 5 weeks and more depending
So just chill and expect response after from the fifth week
My advice whoever is in a hurry should NOT send to Accra. Send to Kenya or Cairo instead.

Congratulations @makibarbie

Ha thats taking too long tho. Have you been tracking too?
I learnt kenya is more expensive but faster

Firemax:
Maybe I should have sent to kenya, still waiting for update from Accra, tomorrow makes it 4 weeks I submitted

Who is sending to kenya? How did you go about it.

The wait wasn’t here 🥹 thank God it ended in praise. Finally got my PPR 🙏🏾
