Sponsoring a visa as an employer for the first time to bring an employee over from Japan, this client asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, which had also handled the client’s own visa, to handle the LMIA application. Even amid the confusion of a rule change, the client could leave everything to us with confidence, and the employee’s work permit was obtained in about 3 months.
LMIA reviews are moving along steadily too! We received a delightful comment from the employer.

Client Comments
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
As an employer, I sponsored a staff member’s visa for the first time in order to bring an employee over from Japan, and I asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, who had also helped me with my own visa. We were so busy that we could have used any help we could get, so my biggest impression is that I am glad I could leave everything to them.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
We started with an LMO, which soon changed to the LMIA. A rule change right at the start made me worry about what lay ahead, but we secured the visa for our company’s very first staff member, and I am relieved that it was properly issued for two years.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
As a sponsor, I felt a different kind of pressure from when I was the applicant myself (especially since the government persistently interviewed me three times), but as the saying goes, leave it to the experts. I am relieved that my employee obtained the visa without it affecting my own work or time.
