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.

Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?

My husband and I lived in Vancouver for a year on a working holiday in 2009. We loved the relaxed life in Vancouver and began to think we would like to come back one day.

What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?

After returning to Japan, we learned that my husband could obtain a work permit in his line of work. While he was looking for a job, we happened to find Jinzai Canada’s website and contacted them, and Jinzai Canada helped us with everything from job placement to the work permit application.

I did not know that when a husband obtains a work permit, his wife can also get a permit that allows her to work as a spouse, but they told us about it at our very first consultation, which was very helpful for making concrete plans for our return to Vancouver.

What was the most memorable part of the process?

Because of my job, my husband entered Canada first, and I entered about three months later. Entering separately from my husband made me a little nervous, but the consultant mailed the documents I needed for entry to me in Japan and explained in advance what to prepare and how the entry process would go, so I was able to obtain my spousal work permit and enter Canada smoothly.

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

After our working holiday, I vaguely hoped to come back to Vancouver, and because Jinzai Canada and Shiraishi VisaJP Canada took care of everything from the job search to the visa procedures, we were able to return to Vancouver.

Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada

Next, we are aiming to immigrate as a couple. Immigration seems to require much more preparation than a work permit, so we would like to start preparing little by little now, while talking with the consultant.
