Immigration Consultant

Yumiko Sakurai

Born in Japan. Worked in tour planning and led international tours at a major travel agency, visiting dozens of countries. After immigrating to Canada in 2003, she worked at a software company in Montreal focusing on the Japanese market. She studied Immigration Consulting at Vanier College and became a licensed immigration consultant. Wanting to support the Japanese community more actively, she relocated to Vancouver where she currently resides and works.

Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?

I had been interested in massage therapy for some time, and I wanted to take on a new challenge abroad once more while I was still in my thirties. While comparing various countries, I felt drawn to Canada because of its nature and its reputation as an easy place to live, so I decided to move here.

What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?

I had a difficult experience with a visa application in the United States in the past, so I wanted to entrust my Canadian visa application to an agency I could trust. While researching, I found Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, and after a Zoom consultation with Ms. Shiraishi in which I received accurate information and advice, I decided to ask them to handle my application.

What was the most memorable part of the process?

Ms. Sakurai handled my study permit application. She always replied quickly to my everyday messages and questions, which was reassuring and gave me confidence. The information she sent and the steps of the application were easy to understand, and because I knew exactly what I needed to do myself, the visa application went smoothly. Ms. Maitland handled my questions about schools both before and during the study permit application. She answered even the smallest questions carefully and communicated with the school staff on my behalf, so I was able to choose a school and move on to the study permit application with peace of mind.

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

Being able to entrust everything to Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, from the first consultation through school selection to the study permit application, meant I could go through the process without worry. When I applied on my own in another country, I was constantly anxious about whether I was doing things correctly. This experience reminded me that for procedures like these, it is much better to have a trustworthy agency helping you. My interim visa was issued more than a month before departure, so I was able to prepare with plenty of time. I am really glad I went with Shiraishi VisaJP Canada!

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

Moving to a new country was a big decision, but I am grateful to be in Canada, and I hope to enjoy each day and keep growing little by little. Before departure I was anxious about all sorts of things beyond the visa, but leaving the visa application to a professional gave me real peace of mind. With Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s support, I was able to take a step I could not have taken on my own. Visa rules seem to change day by day, so I believe you can make better choices by relying on professional help rather than your own judgment alone.
