Securing a Study Permit and Spousal Open Work Permit Five Days Before the Rule Change｜Mr. and Mrs. Y

I strongly recommend working with a qualified and trustworthy consultant.

Toko Gould

Born in Japan. Worked as a registered dietitian in hospitals and other facilities. Moved to Vancouver, Canada in 2001 on a Working Holiday. Later utilized her professional background to obtain a work visa, then Canadian permanent residency as a skilled worker. Studied Oil and Gas Administration at a college in Alberta, then worked at a U.S.-based oil company. Later studied accounting and transitioned into an accounting role.

Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?

Ever since I was young I had dreamed of living abroad, and I chose Canada as the place to make that dream a reality.

What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?

From the very first time I contacted Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, I could tell that their responses were careful and courteous. Their website was also very easy to understand, new immigration information from IRCC was updated quickly, and everything I needed was organized comprehensively in one place, so I felt confident entrusting my application to them.

What was the most memorable part of the process?

While our study permit and spousal open work permit applications were in progress, IRCC gave advance notice of a major policy change with a vague deadline of “within the coming weeks.” Working under that uncertain timeline was stressful and worrying, but by following the precise and calm instructions of Ms. Gould, we were able to gather the required documents, complete our biometrics and finish our medical examinations. We submitted our applications five days before IRCC announced the change, the decision that would have made the spousal open work permit unavailable, and obtained the visas we wanted. That left a strong impression on us.

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

If we had tried to handle the applications on our own, there is a good chance we would not have made it in time. When IRCC made its announcement, many people besides us must have been affected, and she must have been extremely busy responding to all of them, yet she stayed calm throughout and carried everything through without a single error. We are truly grateful to Ms. Gould.

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

In the future we hope to apply for permanent residence. 2024 was a difficult year with many rule changes, and further changes are expected in 2025 as well. For anyone heading to Canada from now on, I strongly recommend working with a qualified and trustworthy consultant.
