“Finally, we received my visa for Australia! Choosing PFEC Global was one of the best decisions we made.My counselor was very prompt and supportive.”
“I had an amazing experience applying to Torrens University Australia through PFCC Global. The entire process was smooth, professional, and efficient. A special thanks to Ms. Rashini for her exceptional support and guidance throughout the application process. Her dedication and expertise made everything stress free and straightforward. I highly recommend PFCC Global to anyone looking to study abroad!”
“Mrs. Sanduni completely changed my perspective on consultancies. She not only helped me secure a college seat but also guided me through the process of deferring to the next intake when I had personal commitments. Even though I couldn’t proceed with my admission due to unavoidable circumstances, she handled the situation with understanding and professionalism. Beyond the study visa, I reached out to her multiple times for guidance on my husband's work permit, and she was always patient and insightful. I highly recommend Mrs. Sanduni to anyone looking for expert and trustworthy immigration advice.”
