This case study introduces Client O, a Malaysian national living in Japan who obtained a Temporary Resident Visa (visitor visa) to travel to Canada to see the northern lights. After first trying to apply online on their own, Client O asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle the application, and the visa was obtained about 2 months after applying.
The paperwork was hard, but I think it is thanks to that that I got my visa so quickly.

Client Comments
About This Visa Application
I was planning a trip to Canada as a tourist because I wanted to see the aurora.
Although the purpose was tourism, my nationality is one that requires a visa, so I had to apply for a visitor visa. At first I intended to apply on my own and tried the online application process, but I gave up because, among other things, I did not know exactly how to prepare the required documents.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
While looking for an agent to support my application, I found that almost none would take on a foreign national living in Japan and applying from Japan, but Shiraishi VisaJP Canada was the only one that accepted my case.
Since they are consultants authorized by the Canadian government, I decided to ask Shiraishi VisaJP Canada.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
After that, the consultant, Ms. Gould, told me specifically which documents I needed, I prepared them according to her instructions, and she submitted the application on my behalf as my representative.
It took about a month to get all the documents in order, and I thought, “Do I really have to prepare this many things?” Looking back now, though, I think that is what allowed me to get the visa so quickly. It took just under two months from the visa application to receiving my passport with the visa affixed.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
At first I thought the fee was a little high, but given how thorough and kind the support was, and the result, I am satisfied.
At first I was full of worry that I might not get the visa in time for the trip I was planning, but it was completed sooner than expected and I was in time to start making my travel arrangements. Shiraishi VisaJP Canada and Ms. Gould, thank you very much.
