This is the case of Client Y, who reached the 10-year mark of living in Canada and needed a PR card renewal, and asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle the PR card renewal application. With little time to spare due to work commitments, they received prompt support and renewed their PR card in just 2 weeks.
The response was incredibly fast from start to finish, and I'm so grateful!

Key Points from the Consultant
This was Client Y's first PR card renewal, and they asked us to handle it.
We first spoke over Zoom, and it looked like all of the required documents would be able to be gathered.
Whatever I asked for, they understood correctly right away and sent it to me promptly.
For an online application, the process involves entering information through the representative's portal, which the applicant then reviews and approves through their own portal.
This can of course be done remotely, but when the client comes into our office so both parties are present for the application, it's very efficient, since any issue can be resolved on the spot.
Client Y also came into our office, and we completed the application together right there.
The PR card was issued far sooner than the officially published processing time, which was wonderful.

Client Comments
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
Because it was time to renew my PR card, and I wanted to keep living in Canada going forward.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
Recently, individuals have been able to apply for a PR card renewal online on their own. However, there are cases where the application needs to be resubmitted due to deficiencies in documents proving your time spent in Canada, and I myself was too busy with work to spare the time. So I decided to ask a specialized company to handle it. I also considered the company I had used when I first obtained PR, but this time I felt Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s system was more well set up, so I decided to ask them instead.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
Thanks to Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, I was able to apply for my PR card renewal without any particular trouble. Among the documents I needed to gather for the application, having to list out my entire travel history was a bit of a hassle. They handled it on my behalf, but I imagine copying every single page of my passport was probably a tedious task.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
The response was extremely fast from beginning to end. It was also great that we could roughly go over the documents I would need ahead of time in our Zoom meeting. I thought it was very efficient. Ms. Yamashita, who handled my case, was also very kind, and I’m truly grateful for how quickly she responded to everything.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
Ten years ago, when I quit my job to go to Canada on a working holiday, people around me told me things like “You’re just running away from reality” and “You’re almost in your 30s, what are you doing going abroad?” It has been 10 years since I moved here, and I’ve been blessed with a wonderful partner and the best job, living happily every day.
There is not a single thing I regret about coming to Canada.
Don’t worry about what other people say — go out and enjoy your own life.
