Client Comments

What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?

This time, the client was doing a short-term study program but, holding Philippine nationality, needed a visa, and asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle the application. Actually, before making that request, the client had tried applying alone and, thinking a long-term study visa was not needed, applied for a Visitor Visa, which was refused. Not knowing what to do to reapply alone, the client concluded it would be best to leave it to professionals this time and asked this company for help.

How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?

The client learned for the first time from Shiraishi VisaJP Canada that even for a short-term stay, it was better in this case to apply for a study permit. Having no idea what documents were needed, the client was very grateful for the careful guidance on exactly what was required. There were many documents the client had not known were necessary. Shiraishi VisaJP Canada also provided English translations of the documents.

What was the most memorable part of the process?

In the client’s case, the review took longer than expected this time, and the start date had to be pushed back, but the client was relieved that the study permit was ultimately granted. Had the client not asked for help, it might have been refused again…

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

This time the client does not plan to extend the visa and intends to return to Japan once it ends, but since the client is also considering a longer stay in Canada in the future, the client would like to ask Shiraishi VisaJP Canada again at that time.
