Ms. S came to Canada in 2016, originally planning to study abroad for just one year. From a language school to college, working as a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN), and then getting married and having a child, she built her life in Canada step by step. A study permit extension issue led her to Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, and since then, over seven years, they have supported her through her study permit, Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), and now this Family Class permanent residence application. Even while pregnant and working full-time, she completed the application with Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s careful support and obtained permanent residence. Today, she is enjoying her new life in Ontario with her daughter and family of three.
Having their support for my study permit, work permit, and permanent residence over more than four years, I feel like I've had a partner I can truly trust.

Client Comments
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
I came to Canada in 2016. At first, I only planned to stay for a year, attending a language school on a Study Permit and enjoying the extraordinary experience of life in Canada, but I was drawn in by Canada’s charm and went on to attend a public college with the goal of immigrating.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
I extended my study permit myself, but while still in school I noticed a problem with it and panicked — that’s when I found Shiraishi VisaJP Canada online and they helped me out. After that, Ms. Sakurai, my immigration consultant, continued supporting me over the long term, through my Post-Graduation Work Permit and now this permanent residence application.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
After graduating from college, I worked at a hospital as an RPN (Registered Practical Nurse), and when I got married, I asked them to handle my PR application under Family Class on my behalf. The application required a large number of documents, and gathering them with help from family and friends was hard work.
I was pregnant and working full-time at the time, so I couldn’t move around as freely as I wanted and often felt rushed, but they patiently answered my many small questions and offered advice again and again, which was a huge help.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
At every stage, they handled things carefully and gave me real peace of mind. Having their support for my study permit, work permit, and permanent residence over more than four years, I feel like I’ve had a partner I can truly trust.
I am so grateful to Ms. Sakurai and everyone at Shiraishi VisaJP Canada.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
It’s been seven years since I came to Canada. At first, I never imagined I’d end up living here permanently, but now our daughter has been born safely, and I look forward to continuing to enjoy life in Canada with my family of three. Even if the first step feels uncertain, I believe you can always move forward with support you can trust.
Additional Comments
I owe so much to Ms. Sakurai and everyone at Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, and I am filled with gratitude. Thank you so much.
