A Record-Short Processing Time in the Live-in Caregiver Class: Permanent Residence Obtained｜Client M

The application coincided with a change in the application process, which worked in the client’s favour, and permanent residence was obtained exceptionally quickly!

Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?

After finishing my working holiday, I wanted to live in Canada longer, so I looked for an employer as a live-in caregiver.

What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?

When I applied for my live-in caregiver visa, I did everything myself. At the time, I had an interview in Seattle, and things did not go smoothly at the border on my way back, which led to trouble where I could not obtain the live-in caregiver visa. I then asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada (formerly Jinzai Canada) for support. They handled it so reliably that I asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada again for my permanent residence application.

What was the most memorable part of the process?

Everything about the permanent residence application was new to me, so I had many worries. There was no clear timeframe for when the required documents would arrive, and simply having to wait was hard. My consultant, Ms. Yamashita, always stayed calm and gave me accurate advice and support even when I was anxious about various things, so I trusted her completely. Processing was originally expected to take three years after submission, but because I felt that “everything will be fine, since Ms. Yamashita has checked it all,” I was able to submit my application with peace of mind in the end.

Just as we were saying, “It will take a long time after submission, but it will be fine because you can get a Bridging Open Work Permit along the way,” my permanent residence application came back with a result in a surprising four months. This was a truly happy surprise. Thank you very much.

Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada

What I can share with everyone aiming for permanent residence is that I was helped by so many people on my way to obtaining permanent residence as a live-in caregiver. Living in Canada, I always feel how important and precious connections with people are. I believe that by cherishing the people you meet, your goals (and dreams) will come much closer.
