Client K, who had worked as a nursery teacher in Japan, was introduced to a nanny job during a working holiday and asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle a work permit application.

Caregivers are usually issued a two-year work permit, and after working for two years they can meet the work experience requirement for a permanent residence application under the Caregiver Class.

Customer Comments and Testimonials
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
After working as a nursery teacher in Japan for about five years, I came to Canada on a working holiday. During that year, while attending a language school and travelling, I started to want to live in Canada in the future, but I had no idea how I could immigrate or whether I could immigrate with my background.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
When I had three months left before returning to Japan, an acquaintance introduced me to a nanny job, and the family told me they would support a work permit for me. I thought I would first get a work permit and stay in Canada, so I consulted Shiraishi VisaJP Canada and learned that working as a nanny for two years might make it possible to immigrate in the future. I immediately talked with the family and decided to apply for a work permit. The application documents looked complicated, and the family would have had to post a job advertisement, among other things, so the burden on them was heavy. I also wanted to be sure to get the visa, so I had Shiraishi VisaJP Canada handle the application.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
I could leave all of the complicated procedures and document preparation to them, and they also gave the family detailed guidance on how to answer in their interview, so I felt reassured.
I had heard of other nannies who applied for a work permit on their own and did not get one, so I wondered whether the review had become stricter. As I expected, I am glad I asked professionals.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
I was able to obtain a two-year work permit, so I will work for two years and then aim to immigrate. Once I have permanent residence, I would like to try working as a nursery teacher in Canada.
