Drawing on her experience of obtaining a work permit and permanent residence in the United States, Ms. S decided to leave things to experienced professionals in Canada and asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle her permanent residence application under the Family Class (inland / spouse). With careful explanations from her consultant, she obtained permanent residence in approximately 4 months.
I met all the conditions and had fewer documents to submit, so the application went smoothly!

Client Comments
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
Before moving to Canada, I lived in the United States, and I went through a lot of difficulties when applying for a work permit and permanent residence there, so I decided to leave my Canadian visa to experienced professionals.
I found Shiraishi VisaJP Canada online, and after a free counselling session with them, I made my decision!
What was the most memorable part of the process?
After I asked them to handle my application, my consultant, Ms. Yamashita, explained in detail the process from application to approval and what I needed to prepare. Just as in the US, there was a lot to prepare, but I had the leeway to plan my own schedule before applying inland, and I felt that I was really glad I had asked them.
Although there were many documents to prepare, in my case I applied after I had started living in Canada as a visitor, and I met all of these conditions: living with my sponsor (my husband), having a child, it being a first marriage for both of us, and more than two years having passed since our marriage. I was also lucky that I had fewer documents to submit than people who do not meet these conditions.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
Even after the application, emails from immigration were passed on to me through Ms. Yamashita, so I never had to worry about missing an email, and she explained things and handled my questions thoroughly, which was very reassuring.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
Immigration circumstances change with the times, so I highly recommend asking professionals who always keep up with the latest developments!
Additional Comments
Thanks to Ms. Yamashita and all of the staff, I was able to obtain PR smoothly. Thank you very much.
