Aiming to keep working after her working holiday, Ms. S asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, whom she had been consulting about permanent residence, to handle her Spousal Open Work Permit application. Despite the complicated situation of a gap between her working holiday expiry and the start of her husband’s college program, she received careful preparation and obtained her Spousal Open Work Permit in about 4 months.
Even though it was an unprecedented and complicated case, I obtained the permit smoothly.

What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
At first, I asked a study abroad center to handle both my husband’s study permit and my spousal open work permit. I wanted to continue the job I had been doing on my working holiday without interruption, but much of the guidance from the study abroad center was uncertain and I had many worries, so I asked Ms. Shiraishi, whom I had been consulting about permanent residence for some time.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
There was quite a long gap between the expiry of my working holiday and the start date of my husband’s college program, but to avoid any period in which I could not work, we applied at the very last moment, submitting many more documents than usual. We also submitted additional supporting documents during processing.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
It is thanks to Ms. Shiraishi that I was able to obtain the permit smoothly even though it was an unprecedented and complicated case. I think this result came about because she gathered so many documents and prepared everything to be doubly sure.
Next come the PGWP and permanent residence, and I look forward to your continued support.
