There were things I never would have known if I'd applied on my own, but having a professional teach me let the whole process go smoothly.

Immigration Consultant

Toko Gould

Born in Japan. Worked as a registered dietitian in hospitals and other facilities. Moved to Vancouver, Canada in 2001 on a Working Holiday. Later utilized her professional background to obtain a work visa, then Canadian permanent residency as a skilled worker. Studied Oil and Gas Administration at a college in Alberta, then worked at a U.S.-based oil company. Later studied accounting and transitioned into an accounting role.

Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?

The client decided on a Co-op study program in Canada, drawn by the chance to live, study, and work in an English-speaking environment, as well as being able to reduce costs by working while studying.

What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?

To keep costs down, the client handled most of the study preparations independently rather than relying on an all-in-one agency that charges a lump sum for a full range of services. When they decided they wanted to leave at least the visa application to a professional, that is when they found Shiraishi VisaJP Canada.

What was the most memorable part of the process?

Although the study preparations had seemed to be going smoothly, the client got stuck at the visa application stage. At first they tried to apply on their own, spending a long time searching online, including in English, and filling out the application forms, but there was only limited information available about visas — especially a study permit involving work, like a Co-op visa — and few accounts from people applying on their own from Japan, so there were many points they simply could not figure out alone.

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

Through detailed email exchanges with the assigned consultant, the client learned a great deal that they could never have found through their own searches — things like how to avoid being misunderstood by the visa officer and what to submit for a smooth approval. The consultant also explained the biometrics registration process and the documents and procedure for receiving the visa after arrival by email, which greatly reduced the client’s anxiety about the trip.

Additional Comments

Having focused so much on cutting study-abroad costs, the client now feels that asking Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle the visa application was an absolutely necessary expense. They are very glad they left it in our hands. Thank you very much.
