This case study introduces Client T, who lives near Toronto and whose common-law partner obtained a spousal open work permit. While they were looking for an alternative to enrolling in a public college, Shiraishi VisaJP Canada suggested a different application route and supported the application, including following up with IRCC. The work permit was issued about 5 months after applying.
Both my partner and I are very happy with the outcome!

Client Comments
About This Visa Application
This time, we received support for my common-law partner’s Spousal Open Work Permit application. We had previously consulted a lawyer, who told us that a working holiday visa could not simply be transferred to a common-law partner, and that for a couple aiming for permanent residence like us, enrolling in a public college was the best option. However, when we thought about the cost and time involved, we wanted to avoid a public college if possible, and that’s when we found Shiraishi VisaJP Canada through an online search and consulted them.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
Ms. Shiraishi told us that while a working holiday visa could not be transferred to my partner as-is, there was another way my partner could apply for a work permit. Since this was a method we had never heard of, and the cost was far lower than going to college, we asked them to handle the visa application. The review took a little longer than the processing time the immigration authorities had announced, which worried us, but they kept us updated on the status every time and even made inquiries to the immigration office on our behalf.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
The visa was issued soon after that inquiry, which we believe was thanks to Ms. Shiraishi’s efforts. Thank you so much. Both my partner and I are very satisfied with the result, and we would like to continue relying on Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, whom we trust, for our future PR application and more.
