This client consulted Shiraishi VisaJP Canada during a working holiday, learned that permanent residence was an option instead of a work permit, and asked us to handle an application under BCPNP Skilled Worker. Despite unexpected delays, such as the documents being transferred to Manila, the client kept working by renewing the work permit and obtained permanent residence in about 19 months.
The client went directly from a working holiday to permanent residence!

Client Comments
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
I consulted Shiraishi VisaJP Canada while I was on a working holiday.
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
At first I was planning to get a work permit, but the consultant told me that permanent residence was also an option. Since I wanted to work in Canada for a long time without a time limit, I decided to apply for permanent residence.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
During my application, the visa office in Tokyo closed and my documents were transferred to Manila, so the review took longer than I had expected.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
Even so, Shiraishi VisaJP Canada also renewed my work permit so that I could keep working the whole time, which gave me peace of mind.
