Have been a silent follower on this platform and have been seeing a lot of testimonies and motivational stories which made me want to share mine. What God cannot do does not exist, I am a living testimony.
I initially used an agent and was denied sometime around 2020 twice. Following the advice from the group and also speaking to a verified consultant, finally given a PPR.
I did it all by myself. Thank you, Jesus!!!! I really thank God for being with me and seeing me through all this.

U can not lodge in expectation to collect passport u will just be wasting money. Just use a courier service.

Okay

Hello Gurus,

Please what is the minimum account balance you advise for an SOWP with 3 kids bearing in mind the 4K and 3k for spouse and kids' living expenses respectively.

I dont know if 7.5 Million which is about CAD 21K will cut it? What is the least amount you will recommend?

Can this be further supported with a N5M balance in the business account belonging to the couple. which they intend to use as one of the ties?
The spouse is already in Canada studying.

Hello guys , plz a little advise would help here

I am in the process of submitting my application with my kids however my sis got her study permit already to resume next month

I would like to know if it’s ok to state this in my SOP or I should just leave it out since she hasn’t landed yet , although I have mentioned her as my Sibling on my application form

Plz I would appreciate your experienced response on this , thanks.

4. 2 copies of passport data page
5. 2 consent form, download from VFS website
6. Plain paper where I wrote my name, email, phone number & address. I also wrote it on the envelope

Since I submitted to Abuja, I added all the proof of payment.

1. Transmission fee
2. 1 way courier fee
3. SMS fee

Thank you so very much. I appreciate.

1 way courier fee is not the money you're paying to DHL for sending, but the money VFS will use to send back your passport.

You pay transmission fee if where you're sending your documents is different from the where you had your biometrics

2 way courier service is cheaper but VFS are saying they have stopped it, though someone in this thread used it few days ago I guess.

I don't think DHL will open on Monday

You can always check VFS website for updates

guys, please important question, @makano, i did my medicals july 2022, but they were updated september 2022, when will they expire july 2023 or september 2023

It's PPR for my cousin.

to be honest that seems quite low

God is Good to me!!!!

After I sent mails to Nairobi yesterday on my son's medical status,

Medical passed message sent this evening and PPR message came in an hour after today.

Visa application submitted on 3rd April and PPR today 21st April.

I pray that all PPR hopeful will manifest sooner than imagined.

However, I want to book submission appointment on VFS site for online booking but it is saying my password is not correct.

What other medium can I use.......
