Trusting us on the basis of his previous experience with our services, Mr. A asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle his wife’s Family Class (outland application) permanent residence application, with him as her sponsor. Despite the difficulty of gathering documents in his wife’s home country, she obtained permanent residence in about 7 months.
The advice on the documents requested by the immigration authorities, with samples and real examples, was a great help.

Client Comments
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
This time, to sponsor my wife for permanent residence, I asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, which I have known for a long time and have trusted since using their services before, to handle the application on our behalf.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
To prepare the application, we started gathering documents exactly as the Shiraishi VisaJP Canada consultant instructed, but my wife is from a rural area of China, and gathering documents there was really hard. The rules and culture are completely different from those in Japan and Canada, and we only just managed to get everything ready with the help of my wife’s family and relatives.
The deadline for additional document requests from the immigration authorities is 30 days, and the possibility that we might not be able to submit in time did cross my mind.
We planned to travel as soon as possible once approval came, but with no certainty as to when the immigration authorities would send the permanent residence approval, arranging temporary housing in Japan and our travel to Canada was difficult.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
What I am glad about in using the application service is this: if we had proceeded on our own, I think we would have had endless doubts and worries until the approval came. Are there any mistakes? Is what we are doing right?
We were already busy enough preparing documents and making plans, so I think using the application service makes a huge difference: it removes the psychological pressure and anxiety, lets you consult about anything, and gives you explanations based on extensive real application experience.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
Wherever you come from, if you want to become a permanent resident of Canada, I think it is worth taking on the challenge with everything you have.
It is not easy, but I will never forget the joy of obtaining permanent residence.
