Overstaying Without Realizing It? Successfully Obtaining Visitor Status|Client N

After this client’s study permit expired, resulting in an overstay, a study abroad agency introduced the client to Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, and the client asked us to handle a visitor record application. Despite the added misfortune of a stolen wallet, the client received accurate and prompt support and obtained a visitor record in 14 days.
Beware of incorrect information. The client believed there was no problem, but had in fact ended up overstaying (staying without legal status).

Client Comments
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
The language school I attended introduced me to a Canadian visa consultant, but I felt uneasy about requesting help with such an important matter in English, so I had a study abroad agency introduce me to Shiraishi VisaJP Canada.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
For personal reasons, the study permit I held had expired and I had ended up overstaying, but even after checking my expired permit, I did not really understand when it would become a problem. I was puzzled, because I had insistently told the officer at immigration on entry that I planned to stay for a year. In fact, before I asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada for help, my wallet was stolen, and the double whammy of overstaying and theft was quite an experience.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
Amid all this, I was moved once again by Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s “accurate and fast Japanese-style work,” which I had taken for granted in Japan. Overseas, it is no longer something you can take for granted.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
If you have any questions about visas, it is better to check with a professional. I safely received my visitor record, and now I can enjoy the rest of my life in Canada with peace of mind. Thank you very much.
