After coming to Canada on a working holiday and experiencing visa problems, Client N decided to obtain permanent residence and, on a friend’s recommendation, asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada for help. Despite the difficulty of being laid off partway through the application, we prepared multiple backup plans, and the client obtained permanent residence through BCPNP Skilled in about 1 year and 7 months.
They handled most of the work on my behalf, so I was able to move my permanent residence application forward smoothly while working.

Client Comments
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
There was no deep reason for choosing Canada; I happened to find a local agency in Canada that was a good match for me, so I chose Canada. Before coming to Canada, I had not thought about permanent residence, but while living here I experienced visa problems many times (not being able to leave the country while an inland application was in process, being laid off, and so on), so I decided to apply for permanent residence.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
What led me to ask Shiraishi VisaJP Canada was hearing from a friend who had applied for permanent residence with them that, despite a complicated situation, they had offered several proposals. I felt they could handle all kinds of cases, so I asked them this time.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
The hardest part of the process of obtaining permanent residence was being laid off partway through the application. Finding a new job and negotiating with the company for support for my permanent residence were quite difficult.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
With their huge track record of supporting people through to permanent residence, they offer proposals suited to each person’s situation and prepare backup plans as well, which I think is very hard to do as an individual. Also, since they handle most of the work on your behalf, I was able to move my permanent residence application forward smoothly while working every day. Those are the things I am glad about in using an application service. I was able to obtain permanent residence thanks to the support of the immigration consultant, Ms. Shiraishi, and all the staff.
