Shiraishi VisaJP Canada supports Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) applications, including cases with tight deadlines. In this case, we share the story of Ms. T, who needed to file before leaving for a temporary trip back to Japan and received approval in about one month, far ahead of the average processing time.
With a temporary trip back to Japan coming up and only a limited window in which to apply, I am grateful for the careful support of VisaJP Canada.

Client Comments
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
I spent a year studying in the United States while I was at university, which sparked my interest in living abroad, and I decided to go overseas after graduating. I was used to American English, and I chose Canada because the prospects of obtaining permanent residence are comparatively good here.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
I had already been receiving counselling from them before I came to Canada, so I asked them to handle my Post-Graduation Work Permit after graduation as well. I had also decided to make a temporary trip back to Japan after graduating and had to file before leaving Canada, and that short window was the deciding factor in asking Shiraishi VisaJP Canada to file on my behalf.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
Everything was handled by email, but the steps to take were clear and I was able to prepare smoothly. My graduation letter from the school was issued sooner than expected, and although I had been told that PGWP approval takes an average of 171 days, my application was approved in under a month. That was one less thing to worry about and a real relief.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
With a temporary trip back to Japan coming up and only a limited window in which to apply, I am grateful for the careful support of Shiraishi VisaJP Canada. They also explained the entry procedures for when I returned to Canada in detail, so I was able to enjoy a comfortable trip home. I was very satisfied.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
From here I want to build up my work experience and aim for permanent residence. Study permits and work permits in Canada are becoming stricter year by year, but I hope everyone finds the approach that suits them best and has as rewarding a life in Canada as possible.
