Obtaining Permanent Residence Steadily During the Pandemic, Even Though It Took Time｜Ms. O

Worried about her husband’s eligibility as a sponsor and facing the COVID-19 pandemic, Ms. O asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle an inland Family Class application. With attentive support, including preparing the application forms on her behalf, she obtained permanent residence in approximately 15 months.
Immigration unexpectedly requested additional documents several times. In situations like that, it was a huge help to have a consultant I could consult right away to resolve things.

Client Comments
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
Some people apply for Family Class permanent residence themselves, but in my case, my husband’s background was unusual and I was worried about whether he would be approved as a sponsor. On top of that, with the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to ask professionals.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
The most important thing when applying is filling out the forms correctly.
The forms submitted to immigration run to dozens of pages, and you have to fill in similar information over and over, but with Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, once I provided the necessary information, they completed all of the immigration application forms for me.
Not having to deal with the hassle of preparing these forms alone reduced my burden considerably.
Because of the pandemic, I had to wait longer than usual for both my open work permit and permanent residence. If I had applied myself, I think I would have been extremely anxious during that waiting period. The reason I could go about my daily life without stress even while waiting was that I trusted Ms. Yamashita, who was in charge of my case.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
Whenever I had a question, she resolved it right away, and when additional documents were requested just before the approval, she encouraged me, saying, “Just a little more, let’s keep going!”
In the end, there was no problem with my husband as a sponsor, and although it took time, I obtained permanent residence safely.
I am very satisfied that I asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada. Thank you very much.
