With precise and clear support, the client obtained permanent residence in about 14 months.

Customer Comments and Testimonials
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
I entered Canada on a working holiday visa, and as soon as I graduated from language school, I was hired at a spa. My employer said, “Why not work a little longer on a work permit? Why not try to get permanent residence so that you can work in both Japan and Canada?” So right after getting my work permit, I moved on to the permanent residence application.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
Of the several companies I talked to, when I spoke with Ms. Yamashita, the consultant in charge at Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, she answered my questions precisely, so I decided on them.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
During the permanent residence application process, whenever questions or concerns came up, they responded promptly and precisely by email or phone at any time, so I felt I had made the right choice.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
I had consultations with several companies, but while being advised, I found Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s approach very clear and a good fit for me. A permanent residence application takes a long time to produce a result, and there may be times when you feel anxious, but I recommend Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, who will kindly and thoroughly guide you through things you have no experience with.
