Misguided by a Study Abroad Centre into Short-Term Visas, They Asked Us to Correct Course on Their Study Permits and Visitor Status and Extended Their Stay｜The Y Family

Ms. Y first consulted us in Japan about settling permanently in Canada. We decided on a plan for her to accompany her children as a parent while they studied abroad, starting their life in Canada together, but she then asked a different study abroad centre to arrange the schools and help with the study permits, and the applications became badly confused.
Following the study abroad centre’s incorrect guidance, the family entered Canada as tourists, and the visas issued afterwards, for both the children and Ms. Y herself, were valid for shorter periods than planned, leaving a high risk that the next applications would be refused. At a loss, she contacted us again, and we organised the history of the case, put together the necessary explanatory letters and supporting documents, and supported the visa re-applications.
As a result, one-year visas from September were issued, and the family was able to get their parent-and-child study plan back on track.
Always clear and precise, and on top of that, they answered my questions carefully as many times as I asked. They really were visa application professionals.

Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
While still in Japan, I first consulted Shiraishi VisaJP Canada about settling permanently in Canada, and we decided to start living in Canada through parent-and-child study, with me accompanying my children as their guardian while they studied.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
It is a little complicated, but after consulting Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, I asked a study abroad centre in Canada, from Japan, to arrange my children’s schools. That study abroad centre also offered to help with the study permits for my three children, and since it was cheaper than Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, I had them help with the visa applications.
Then the study permits were not issued by our planned travel date, and the study abroad centre told us to enter Canada saying we were tourists for the time being. I assumed the study abroad centre were also experts, so I followed their instructions and entered Canada. After that there was trouble after trouble, and although we did eventually get visas, my children’s study permits were shorter than planned, and my visitor status was even shorter.
So I hurriedly called Shiraishi VisaJP Canada. The first thing the staff member who answered said was, “Entering as a tourist when you were planning to go to school was a problem in the first place.” They listened to our situation with real care, and I learned that the study abroad centre’s instructions had been wrong and that even if we applied for the next visas, they might be refused.
So, wanting to be sure of getting the next visas and to lead them to a long-term stay, I asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle our visa applications.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
The explanations from the immigration consultant at Shiraishi VisaJP Canada were always clear and precise, and on top of that, they answered my questions carefully as many times as I asked. They really were visa application professionals. With the study abroad centre’s visa applications, I was always anxious about whether things were really all right, but with Shiraishi VisaJP Canada I could leave the visa applications to them with peace of mind. To make sure our applications would be approved, the immigration consultant included a detailed explanation of everything that had happened so far along with supporting documents, and this time visas for my children and me were issued for one year from September!
I had been at a loss, thinking we might have to go back to Japan, but here we were able to correct our course. From now on, I want to leave every visa to the professionals, obtain them properly, and work hard all the way to permanent residence.
