Applying from Japan and Obtaining Permanent Residence After Entering Canada｜Mr. J

With his Canadian wife as sponsor, Mr. J planned a Family Class (spouse) permanent residence application from Japan and asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada after seeing our reputation on social media. Despite worries about collecting documents and the timing of his move, he received careful support and obtained permanent residence in about 5 months.
I entered Canada just before the Family Class review was completed, and obtained permanent residence smoothly through a virtual landing from within Canada.

What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
I was planning my permanent residence application with my Canadian wife as my sponsor, and I found Shiraishi VisaJP Canada while searching online for a consultant who could handle the application. I found many consultants and was unsure whom to ask, but when I read about the experiences of people who had obtained visas on social media (Twitter), the name Shiraishi VisaJP Canada came up a lot, and many people said it was a trustworthy company, so I asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
There was nothing particularly difficult in the process of obtaining permanent residence, but if I had to name something, it would be collecting the documents required for this application category (Family Class, outland application). It was hard to find documents proving that my wife and I live together and that we share finances. However, Ms. Yamashita, the immigration consultant, kindly told me which documents were appropriate, and that solved it.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
There were many things this time that made me glad I used the application service. First, I applied for permanent residence from Japan, but when we decided to move to Canada before my permanent residence was approved, I was worried about whether it would affect the permanent residence process and what procedures I would need. At that time, Ms. Yamashita kindly answered our questions, and my worries disappeared completely.
Also, we travelled during the COVID-19 pandemic, when entry into Canada was very strict. When I told Ms. Yamashita that we would travel to Canada, she carefully explained that only people who met certain conditions could travel, that our case met the conditions so we could travel, and what to be careful about when travelling, so we were able to travel with peace of mind.
In addition, when I felt the approval process for my Canadian permanent residence was a little slow, I consulted Ms. Yamashita and she took action, and the process went very smoothly after that.
To be honest, I had also considered applying on my own, but the application process made me anxious more often than I expected, so I am very glad I did not end up applying on my own and waiting for permanent residence with all that anxiety.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
Now that I have permanent residence, my aspiration is… At Japanese companies I could not achieve a good work-life balance, but in Canada many people enjoy both work and life to the fullest, so I also want to enjoy life in Canada as much as I can.
