This is the case of Client W, who consulted with Shiraishi VisaJP Canada early on with an eye toward eventually obtaining permanent residence, and asked us to handle a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) application upon graduating from college. With attentive support, the PGWP was obtained in about one month.
Having the experienced consultants and staff tell me exactly what documents I needed really eased my worries.

Client Comments
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
Because I loved the Pacific Northwest lifestyle and wanted to try moving to Vancouver.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
From around the time I started thinking about moving to Canada, I had been consulting Ms. Shiraishi about permanent residence. I had always known I wanted to move to Canada eventually, but it was her encouragement that gave me the final push, and from there I left everything to Shiraishi VisaJP Canada.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
Thanks to Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s support, I had no trouble at all with the visa application itself. What turned out to be harder than I expected after arriving in Canada was my coursework. Since it was all new material to me, the quizzes and tests were quite difficult and there was a lot of coursework, so at first I only felt anxious about whether I could keep up. Fortunately, I was blessed with good friends, and with everyone encouraging and supporting each other, I successfully graduated from my two-year college program and obtained a Post-Graduate Work Permit. Tomoko handled the PGWP application for me, and she was very attentive throughout.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
Being able to consult in Japanese about things I felt uncertain about, or things I wasn’t confident I fully understood on my own, was a real advantage. For the visa itself, the experienced consultants and staff told me exactly what documents I needed, so once I prepared those, I could leave the rest to them — which also helped ease my worry about whether the visa would actually be approved.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
A visa is essential once you decide you want to stay in Canada long term. I really came to appreciate how important it is to know what options are available to you and what you need to do to take the steps toward your ideal path.
