After coming to Canada on a working holiday, this client aimed for permanent residence via an LMIA-based work permit with the support of Shiraishi VisaJP Canada. Although the process took longer than planned due to COVID-19, the client received careful support throughout and obtained permanent residence through BCPNP ELSS in about 10 months.
It took longer than I expected because of COVID-19, but I’m glad every question I had was answered carefully.

Client Comments
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
I came to Canada because the faculty I belonged to at university inspired me to want to live abroad.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
A friend who had obtained permanent residence introduced me to Shiraishi VisaJP Canada.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
The hardest part of the process of obtaining permanent residence was that, unluckily, it took longer than I expected because of COVID-19. Still, I felt Shiraishi VisaJP Canada was very kind, answering every question carefully, whatever it was.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
I’m really glad that immigration consultant Ms. Sakurai was in charge of my case this time. It all started with getting a work permit, which, now that I think of it, was about four years ago. It took an incredibly long time to get here, but when I suddenly received the email saying that the permanent residence review was complete, I felt an enormous sense of accomplishment. I asked so many questions that I can’t even remember them all, but she answered every one of them carefully. Thank you very much.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
My message for those aiming to settle permanently in Canada: if you learn English at the same time as going through the permanent residence process, your next goal will come into view later on! If you don’t give up, your dreams will come true!
