Settling Permanently in Canada with the Family Through Work as a Hairstylist｜Client Y

Meeting a good employer and a good immigration consultant was the key.

Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?

We came to Canada as a family on a visitor visa for a long trip that doubled as a job search. During that trip, I found out that my work as a hairstylist was in demand in Canada, and I handed out my résumé to several potential employers. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are big cities with lots of jobs, but in Vancouver you can work even with a Japanese hairdressing licence, so I chose Vancouver.

The main reason I chose my current employer was that we got along well. It seemed that I was exactly the kind of person the owner was looking for, so the work permit was an immediate yes, and the owner told me they wanted me to settle here permanently and grow the business together.

What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?

My employer introduced me to Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, and I contacted them. Shiraishi VisaJP Canada gave me a consultation right away, and because they knew this employer well, the discussion went smoothly, and I signed a contract for the work permit application while I was still in Canada as a tourist.

What was the most memorable part of the process?

Shortly after we returned to Japan, I was told that my work permit had been approved, so I hurriedly packed our belongings in Japan and moved to Canada with my family. While working in Canada on the work permit, I took the English test many times for my permanent residence application, and each time I got my results, I contacted the immigration consultant at Shiraishi VisaJP Canada and asked again and again whether I could apply for permanent residence. As a result of these consultations, we concluded that it would be better to apply in the position of salon manager rather than hairstylist, so I talked to my employer. They agreed, I obtained a new work permit as a manager, and then I applied for permanent residence.

How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?

The review of the permanent residence application was long, and my work permit expired during the review, so I renewed it while waiting. But the consultant carefully planned the schedule so that I would never be left unable to work, which was very reassuring. I was busy with work and family, so I left everything about the visa to the consultant, and because they kept moving everything forward, there was not much that I had to do myself.

Thanks to my employer, who has been very good to me both professionally and personally, and to Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, whom I could trust completely, I recently obtained permanent residence, and my PR card has also arrived safely.

Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada

It has been five years since we first came as tourists. From now on, my family and I will keep enjoying our life in Canada for good.
