Obtaining Permanent Residence Through BCPNP as a Childcare Worker, a Newly Prioritized Occupation｜Client Y

With an understanding employer and Shiraishi VisaJP Canada's support, the client obtained permanent residence smoothly.

Immigration Consultant

Yumiko Sakurai

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.

Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?

The client asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle both the work permit and permanent residence applications on their behalf.

Having gained childcare experience in Japan and New Zealand, the client decided to go to Canada to further develop their childcare skills, and was fortunate to find a very understanding employer soon after arriving.

At first, the client had not planned to apply for permanent residence, but during the work permit application process, a revision to the BC PNP made childcare workers a priority occupation, which encouraged them to also try applying for permanent residence.

What was the most memorable part of the process?

There were many steps and required documents from the work permit through to the permanent residence application, but Ms. Sakurai, who handled the case, guided the client through each required document step by step, allowing the process to go very smoothly and without stress.

One challenge was explaining the LMIA process and requirements to the employer in English, but thanks to Ms. Sakurai’s advice, the client was able to secure their employer’s understanding and support. Whenever there were questions, Ms. Sakurai always responded quickly, accurately, and with genuine care, allowing the client to proceed with peace of mind and without unnecessary worry all the way through to obtaining permanent residence. The client believes this was all thanks to the professional knowledge and experience of Ms. Sakurai and the whole team at Shiraishi VisaJP Canada!

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

Looking back on the process of obtaining permanent residence, there was a series of fortunate breaks, but the client also had to make many decisions on their own along the way. Having a trustworthy professional providing support through that was truly reassuring. Thank you so much, Ms. Sakurai and everyone at Shiraishi VisaJP Canada!
