Referred to Shiraishi VisaJP Canada by the owner of the client’s workplace, this client originally planned to obtain a work permit, but asked us to handle a permanent residence application after we suggested switching to that route. Despite worries about having little knowledge of visas, the client received accurate advice and obtained permanent residence through BCPNP Skilled Workers in approximately 1 year and 4 months.
The request came just before the client’s visa was due to expire, so every moment counted until the application was submitted, but after submission everything went very smoothly!
