Last Updated:September 24, 2026

While staying in Canada on a Working Holiday Visa, Client K was hired as a Cook and asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to handle the LMIA Work Permit application on their behalf. Trusting in our extensive track record, Client K decided to ask us, and obtained the LMIA Work Permit in just under 4 months.

The next time I need to go through any visa procedures, I would like to ask them again.

Key Points from the Consultant

Consultant's Point

Regular LMIA processing had been taking more than 6 months, and by the time the client signed with us, less than 4 months remained on their visa.
With the employer's cooperation, we applied for the LMIA through a newer method called REP.
The LMIA came through quickly, in time for the work permit review as well.
With processing times stretching out across the board, this result was only possible thanks to the cooperation of both the applicant and the employer.

Client Comments

Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?

Canada felt very comfortable, and I felt it was about as safe as Japan. The local people were very friendly too, and in such a multinational environment I could experience the cultures of many different countries. The climate was also easy to live with, and every day felt pleasant. The winter cold is certainly harsh, but once you get used to it, I think you start to notice even more of Canada’s charm.

What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?

The main reason I decided to ask Shiraishi VisaJP Canada was their high level of reliability. They also had extensive experience obtaining many different types of visas, which made me feel I could trust them with confidence. On top of that, after watching their YouTube videos about visas, I saw how carefully they explained visa news, and that made me want to ask them.

What was the most memorable part of the process?

Whenever I had a question, their replies were quick and clear, and since I could reach them by phone or email, everything went smoothly. They also responded quickly whenever documents needed correcting or I ran into a difficult situation.

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

Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s service was excellent. The next time I need to go through any visa procedures, I would like to ask them again.

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

I have only been in Canada for two years, but the visa system here changes frequently, month to month, and prices keep rising, so I would recommend traveling with a financial cushion. Beyond that, it’s important to take action and move things forward with a plan.

Additional Comments

Thanks to this support, I was able to obtain my work permit. Thank you so much for everything, and I look forward to working with you again in the future.
