Last Updated:September 24, 2026
Ms. S obtained Canadian permanent residence through an outland Family Class application from Japan after marrying her Canadian partner, and has now begun a new life with her husband in the country she fell in love with while studying abroad. Here she tells us about the background to working with Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, why she decided to move to Canada, and what the support was actually like.
Comparing companies online, VisaJP Canada felt the most trustworthy, so I decided to ask them.

Key Points from the Consultant
Ms. S applied while she was in Japan and her husband was in Canada. For reasons that were never clear, an error on IRCC’s side meant the application was treated as having restarted partway through, and she waited patiently through a period of real uncertainty with no end in sight.
I am delighted that she has finally entered Canada as a permanent resident. We wish her and her husband every happiness together.

Client Comments
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
When I visited Canada to study some years ago, I was moved by the beauty of its nature and came to love the country. On top of that, I decided to move here in order to marry the man I was seeing at the time, now my husband, obtain permanent residence through the Family Class and live together.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
I compared several other immigration consulting companies online, and Shiraishi VisaJP Canada felt the most trustworthy, so I decided to ask them.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
It felt long at the time, but looking back it went by in a flash. Since my husband is Canadian we might have been able to apply on our own, but leaving it to professionals let everything proceed smoothly. Had we done it ourselves it would have been hard work, and I am sure we would have felt the stress.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
I am truly full of gratitude. Yumiko, who handled our case, answered every question carefully and supported us attentively. Thank you so much.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
