Getting a Work Permit as a Web Developer as the First Step Toward Permanent Residence｜Client S

I have cleared the first hurdle toward permanent residence!

Immigration Consultant

Yuki Shiraishi

Born in Japan. After earning a Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan, she worked for six years in New York as a marketing consultant at a major travel agency, while also studying in an MBA program at the City University of New York. After returning to Japan, she managed the visa center of the same travel company, handling various international visa applications for foreign clients.

Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?

I liked the Web Developer work I had done for years in Japan, but the working environment was tough and often unreasonable, so I started looking abroad. Canada seemed to have good working conditions, so I casually consulted Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, which came up near the top of my search results.

What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?

I had a very good impression of the staff member who handled my free consultation, so I went on to a paid consultation with an immigration consultant.

The immigration consultant was highly knowledgeable and explained things in a way that even a layperson like me could understand, so I felt I could trust them. Looking at my work history and education, they told me that Vancouver would be a good place and that a working holiday visa would be a good first visa.

For the working holiday visa, they said, “The application isn’t difficult, so why not try it yourself?” They never pushed me to use Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, which I also liked.

What was the most memorable part of the process?

Shiraishi VisaJP Canada also runs a company called Jinzai Canada, and their tips and advice on job hunting were very much to the point. As they taught me, I sent out my résumé online from Japan and had interviews as soon as I arrived in Vancouver, so from the second month of my working holiday I got a full-time job at my current company.

My Ideal Way of Working in Canada

My job in Vancouver is ideal. It starts on time and ends on time. After work there is plenty of time, so I enjoy my hobbies of visiting breweries and snowboarding, get a good night’s sleep and prepare for the next day’s work. I work far fewer hours than I did in Japan, but because my concentration is better, I am more efficient and productive. It makes me realize again that working long hours without focus is pointless.

What was the most memorable part of the process?

To aim for Canadian permanent residence, I received a job offer from my company this time and switched to a work permit. At that point, the immigration consultant explained a lot of things to my manager, I hardly had to act as a go-between, and the consultant and the company took care of all of the company-side documents. All I had to do was prepare what I was asked for, so it was no trouble at all.

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

As for the future, I plan to apply for permanent residence as soon as I get my English test score. I decided long ago that I would ask Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle this as well. I look forward to your continued support!
