With the visa about to expire, this client was offered continued employment by the employer and asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle a permanent residence application under BCPNP ELSS. The client continued living as usual during the application and obtained permanent residence in about 12 months.
Coordination with the employer, who has used our services many times, went perfectly, and the application went smoothly!

Client Comments
What was the most memorable part of the process?
My previous visa was about to expire, and just when I was vaguely thinking I would go back to Japan, the employer at the store where I was working offered me the chance to stay and keep working. I had never imagined that I would apply for permanent residence, so to be honest I hesitated, but I thought it was better to have more options, so I decided to give it a try.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
I contacted Shiraishi VisaJP Canada through a referral from my employer.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
The result came out about one year after the application. Since I had left the application to them, I was able to keep working and living as usual, and my impression is that the result came without any major trouble along the way. The English test that became necessary partway through was not required in my case because my review had already progressed to a certain point, so I was lucky. Whenever I felt anxious or had questions, they responded quickly by phone or email.
Additional Comments
I am very grateful to Shiraishi VisaJP Canada. Thank you very much.
