Client Comments
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
I had been interested in living and working abroad since my student days, and my older brother was a particularly strong influence. After graduating from university, once things had settled down following the pandemic, I decided to move to Canada on a working holiday visa.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
The company I currently work for had used Shiraishi VisaJP Canada many times before, and after hearing about that trust and track record I decided to ask them to handle my LMIA work permit application in the Cook occupation.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
What made an impression on me was that Ms. Gould, who handled my case, always shared the latest information as the situation around IRCC work permit applications changed, and gave me clear guidance on the documents I needed. Thanks to that I obtained my visa relatively smoothly.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
I am very satisfied. Their attentive and careful handling meant I could work through the process without anxiety.
