Obtaining Permanent Residence Through the Family Class as a Common-Law Partner｜Ms. N

Proof of cohabitation, which is essential for a common-law application, was limited, so it was a challenge, but our consultant rose to the occasion and did their very best!

Immigration Consultant

Yuki Shiraishi

Born in Japan. After earning a Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan, she worked for six years in New York as a marketing consultant at a major travel agency, while also studying in an MBA program at the City University of New York. After returning to Japan, she managed the visa center of the same travel company, handling various international visa applications for foreign clients.

What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?

I first attended a Shiraishi VisaJP Canada seminar in Vancouver. At the time, I went back to Victoria glad to have gathered information on the Family Class, but when I thought it over, I began to feel it would be a huge amount of work. I work during the day and he mainly works at night, so we already had little time together, and once we started preparing the common-law application, it was all we could do, and we became exhausted. He had always believed in “buying time with money,” and said that if we no longer had to spend our time and energy on visa matters, that would be better, so we decided fairly quickly to ask the Shiraishi VisaJP Canada consultant who had led the seminar.

What was the most memorable part of the process?

As things progressed, we did not have much proof of having lived together in the past as common-law partners, which made me very worried, but by discussing it with the consultant, we were able to deal with that too. When my visa was about to expire, I asked about the possible scenarios before deciding what to do; they were always there to advise me. Because of a strike at the immigration office, the review took a long time and I had to redo my medical exam, but everything was completed successfully.

How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?

The review takes quite a long time, so it was good to be able to consult them whenever something came up and to feel secure just by doing as they said. At the time, he was keen on using an application service, and I was a little unsure whether to ask for help, but now I am glad we did not force ourselves to continue on our own. I am very happy that it all went well and I obtained permanent residence.
