After comparing several free counselling sessions, Client T decided to ask us, and with attentive support, obtained Family Class permanent residence in 8 months.
Thanks to their attentive support and communication, the whole process went smoothly from start to finish without any anxiety.

Key Points from the Consultant
The client consulted with us even before they were eligible to apply for common-law PR (which requires 12 months of cohabitation), and steadily prepared everything in advance.
Because the preparation was thorough, they were able to apply immediately after reaching the 12-month cohabitation mark, and everything progressed smoothly after that.

Client Comments
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
Partly because my partner is Canadian, but I was also drawn to the charm of Canada, where the working environment and nature blend seamlessly with city life. Being from Tokyo, I especially loved being able to enjoy wildlife and scenery I would rarely see back home, and having quick access to the ocean, mountains, and lakes. Staying constantly relaxed like that suited my personality well.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
Since obtaining permanent residence is difficult, I compared reviews of several immigration consulting companies and received free counselling sessions from a few of them. What decided it for me was that Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s reputation was overwhelmingly better than the rest. With other companies, I sometimes received inadequate responses or was strongly pushed toward proposals that seemed unrealistic, but Shiraishi VisaJP Canada was extremely attentive, and I felt I could trust them with confidence, so I decided to ask them.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
I asked them to handle my Family Class common-law application. Because of my family circumstances, I think I ended up asking more questions than most people while preparing the documents, but no matter the time or the topic, they always sent quick and accurate advice.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
I am very satisfied! Thanks to their attentive support and communication, the whole process went smoothly from start to finish without any anxiety. I am once again glad that I asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
I hope everyone’s life in Canada is filled with plenty of smiles and happy experiences!
