This case study introduces Client U, who had studied in Canada since high school and obtained a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). There were concerns about meeting the requirements because of online classes during COVID-19, but with Shiraishi VisaJP Canada handling the application, the PGWP was issued the same day at the port of entry.

With thorough documents prepared for the airport application, the client was able to obtain their visa smoothly.

Client Comments

About This Visa Application

The client asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle their PGWP application on their behalf. Having studied in Canada since high school, the client did not want to miss this opportunity to apply for a PGWP, and because taking some classes online due to COVID-19 was likely to complicate the application, the client decided to have a professional handle it.

IRCC had special measures in place because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but because the client had taken some classes online from Japan and some on a part-time basis, they did not qualify for these special measures either, and it turned out that they did not meet the requirements for a PGWP. Even so, the client still wanted to apply.

What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?

The client first had a free consultation via LINE, then moved to email, and because the support was so attentive, they decided to ask Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle the application.

Since there was a chance the application could be refused, the client first asked immigration consultant Ms. Shiraishi for advice on how to redirect their plan toward permanent residence if the PGWP was not issued, and understanding there was no guarantee of approval, she did her best for the client.

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

There were many required documents, but she organized them into an easy-to-understand list, and also responded quickly to questions by email and phone.

Because Ms. Shiraishi judged that applying at the airport had a higher chance of success than applying online, they applied at the airport. She helped prepare documents to show the officer if questioned, and advised the client on how to respond if questioned by the immigration officer.

Thanks to this preparation, the visa application went very smoothly and the client obtained their PGWP at the airport.
If they consider applying for permanent residence in the future, the client says they would definitely like to ask us again. Thank you so much for the help this time.
