Becoming a Permanent Resident in Canada, Where an Ideal Lifestyle Is Possible｜Client I
Date Posted:February 16, 2023
Last Updated:September 24, 2026
Through their partner, who had received Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s support with a work permit and permanent residence, Client I asked us to handle a permanent residence application under the Family Class (outland application / common-law partner). Proceeding with the application while staying in Canada on a working holiday visa, Client I obtained permanent residence in about 8 months.
My partner also got PR through Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, and they went on to help me too!

Immigration Consultant
Born in Japan. Worked in tour planning and led international tours at a major travel agency, visiting dozens of countries. After immigrating to Canada in 2003, she worked at a software company in Montreal focusing on the Japanese market. She studied Immigration Consulting at Vanier College and became a licensed immigration consultant. Wanting to support the Japanese community more actively, she relocated to Vancouver where she currently resides and works.
Client Comments
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
I was drawn to a work-life balance different from Japan’s, such as “mountain biking after work in summer” and “skiing or snowboarding before work in winter,” so I began thinking about obtaining permanent residence.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
My partner had been helped by Shiraishi VisaJP Canada with a work permit and a permanent residence application, so I consulted them about applying as a common-law partner, and they responded with genuine care.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
I obtained a working holiday visa at the same time as applying for permanent residence, and waited for my permanent residence while working in Canada. When I first applied, I was told it would take more than a year from application to approval, so I was worried about what I would do if my working holiday visa expired before my permanent residence came through.
However, the application went smoothly, and thanks to the prompt handling of my consultant, Ms. Sakurai, I was able to obtain it within a year.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
On my own, I would not have known how to apply or anything else, and I do not think I could have obtained it, so I am glad I asked them to handle my application.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
Obtaining permanent residence has greatly broadened the scope of my life in Canada and my options for the future, so I want to try new things and keep looking for my ideal work-life balance. Thank you very much for everything.
