Ms. M, who married a Canadian man she met during her working holiday, found Shiraishi VisaJP Canada through an online search and asked us to handle her outland Family Class permanent residence application. Despite the difficulty of gathering documents while living apart in Japan and Canada, we managed the progress for her, and she obtained permanent residence in about 4 months.
I stayed in Japan the whole time, from preparing the documents through the application to the final result, but I obtained permanent residence very smoothly.

Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
While I was staying in Vancouver on a working holiday, I met my current husband, and we were in a relationship with marriage in mind.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
I first contacted Shiraishi VisaJP Canada because it came up first when I searched on Google, and because I wanted a Japanese person to handle my case when entrusting it to a consultant.
From my very first contact, they were very kind and quick to respond, and I felt I could trust them, so I decided to have Shiraishi VisaJP Canada apply on my behalf.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
At the time of the immigration application, I was in Japan and he was in Canada.
The hardest part was that I had to go all the way to Tokyo to gather documents for the application.
I had already returned to Japan, and he was busy with work and could hardly find time to gather documents, so it was a great help that the consultant acting as our representative gave us instructions as needed and managed our progress.
After we applied, the review went very smoothly. Communications from immigration went to the consultant, so there was no worry about missing them or responding incorrectly, and even though we were apart, with me in Japan, I could wait with peace of mind.
I applied shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic, but the review was not affected at all and was completed in a short four months. For personal reasons I delayed my landing a little, but even in the middle of the travel restrictions I was able to enter Canada without any problems.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
When you are proceeding with an application while living apart in Japan and Canada, as we were, I think it is very difficult without the help of a third party acting as your representative. I am really glad we asked them.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
It has only been a month and a half since I landed and became a permanent resident, so I do not really feel like a permanent resident yet (laughs), but I will keep working hard to fit in even better in Canada!
