Ms. B decided to move to Canada from Japan after marrying, and worked through the preparation for a Family Class permanent residence application while holding down a full-time job. The review finished sooner than she expected, and she told us that support from Shiraishi VisaJP Canada let her take each step with confidence.
Our exchanges took place across a time difference, but the speed of their responses and the depth of their support were an enormous help.

Key Points from the Consultant
She applied from Japan, but Ms. B had spent a long time in Canada and was well accustomed to its culture and customs.
We held several Zoom calls, and what stood out was how close the couple clearly were despite the distance between them.
Gathering the documents while working full time in Japan must have been hard, but she cooperated positively throughout and we filed without issue. After filing there was a wait for the officer’s review, but it proceeded smoothly through to approval.
Everyone at our office is delighted that she can finally start her new life in Canada together with her husband.

Client Comments
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
Marrying my Canadian partner was the starting point, and I decided to move to Canada by applying through the Family Class.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
When I looked at the Shiraishi VisaJP Canada website, the first thing that struck me was the sheer volume of information. The many client cases and personal accounts published there also made me feel this was a company I could trust, so I decided to ask them.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
Working full time on weekdays and preparing all sorts of documents in the limited time I had was very demanding. The official IRCC site said the processing time for an outland application was around eleven months, so after submitting I settled in for a long wait, but in fact the review was completed in under five months, which surprised me.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
Because I live in Japan our exchanges took place across a time difference, but the speed of their responses and the depth of their support were an enormous help. Beyond preparing documents, they addressed my worries and anything unclear carefully and quickly each time, so I was able to proceed with real peace of mind.
I am especially grateful to Ms. Gould, who responded promptly despite how busy she was. Ms. Nishizawa also did a great deal for me. My heartfelt thanks to everyone for their careful support.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
Some people may hesitate over the cost and other factors, but if you are wavering, I would recommend having a consultation at least once. For me the real start comes now, once I have actually moved to Canada, but at this point my excitement outweighs my nerves. Thank you.
