For the photos, you can use an android photo merging App to collate the pictures and then scribble on top or below each photo so that whoever is zooming in to view the photos will be able to see the description added. For example, see the attached photo I added below.

For compression, after you're done compiling everything, stilll use your android phone to do the compression. You'll have to combine a number of compressing methods to get the quality and size you want. Some of the Apps I recommend are "Xodo PDF Reader and Editor" and "PDF Utils: Merge, Split, Edit." If you use Xodo to compress, Open the document, click on the three dots menu on the top right, click Save a Copy, Reduc file, Smaller file, Advanced, change if greater than 225 DPI to 90, change the second one to 75. Then save.

In addition to this, go to adobe website to compress the document further. https://www.adobe.com/ca/acrobat/online/compress-pdf.html?mv=search&sdid=DZTGZX2P&ef_id=CjwKCAiAr4GgBhBFEiwAgwORrTgY55uAEQKksrblVJWdkE38UNKYPU_h4FojUMzJscvXXzl7lVA5aRoCdt0QAvD_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!3085!3!567980884512!e!!g!!compress%20a%20pdf!15515102528!134551133247&cmpn=mobile-search&gclid=CjwKCAiAr4GgBhBFEiwAgwORrTgY55uAEQKksrblVJWdkE38UNKYPU_h4FojUMzJscvXXzl7lVA5aRoCdt0QAvD_BwE

PDF Utils is great for merging, the best I know of.

All the best to you.

SOWP and VV for my 1 year old daughter.

Medical updated for spouse - Jan 23, 2023
Medical updated for daughter - Feb 8, 2023
BVL and PPR - March 1, 2023

I left Nigeria August 18, 2022, but I didn't apply for my family because my daughter's passport was not out yet, so I decided to finish 1st semester because submitting their application. On February 14, 2023 - the day my daughter turned 1, I sent a very emotional mail to all IRCC emails I know and also raised a webform Nairobi, Lagos and Abuja. Some responded with normal generic mail. 3 days ago I got a personalized email from IRCC saying that my application is still within the processing time and encouraged me to keep checking the processing time - which is 52 weeks, so I thought they are not working on the application and booked a ticket to Naija for next week. Seeing PPR this morning is still a surprise.

I thank Jehovah God everything worked out well.

Please guys, I don't know how to send family passport to VFS, any help or reference to previous post about it would be greatly appreciated.

The Lord Jesus truly glorified himself. When it took so long to get a medical request I sent several emails and web forms. And I also contacted the school international students services unit to inform them about the situation. I think God used them to reach out to the consulate. I also sent an email to the IRCC Minister. The same day I received my medical request, the school replied me. After medical examination there was no update for about 20 days. I prayed, sent emails and web forms. There was no update. I again contacted international student services. About two weeks later medical was passed on a Sunday! ISS reached back to me again to confirm if I have received any update. And I told them about the update. Then Friday 28 June morning, Biometric Validity Letter and PPR within the space of one hour. I almost lost hope thinking my application would be as the case of June/July 2018 applicants but God showed me mercy.
