A working holiday drew Ms. I to Canada, and she later obtained permanent residence. This time, even though her PR card had already expired, she completed the renewal application without trouble. “I was moved by how smooth and thorough the support was,” she told us.
Even though my PR card had already expired, they handled it quickly, and I was very grateful.

Customer Comments and Testimonials
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
Life in Japan felt confining, and over a year on a working holiday I discovered Canada’s beautiful nature, its comfortable climate and its many immigrant cultures. I realised that I wanted to live here and that I could, so I decided to immigrate.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
This time I asked them to handle my PR card renewal. At first I had no idea where to go, so I contacted several places. Of those, Shiraishi VisaJP Canada replied the most quickly and clearly about fees and the application process, and their fees were reasonable compared with other companies. During an application with a lot of back-and-forth, a quick reply is reassuring and builds trust, and that is what made me decide.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
The staff were very thorough and quick. They gave me clear instructions about the required documents, so I could prepare without ever getting lost or stuck.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
Even though my PR card had already expired, they handled it quickly, and I was very grateful. Living in Canada, it is easy to forget the fine-grained hospitality of Japan, and receiving such careful service again this time really moved me.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
I hear that study abroad, working holidays and other visa and immigration applications are becoming harder. That is exactly why it matters to consult a trustworthy agency like Shiraishi VisaJP Canada. To make what you want to do a reality, do get in touch with them.
Ms. I came to us after an error prevented her from submitting the PR card renewal application she had tried to file herself.
From our filing to the card arriving in her hands took one month, so it was a short engagement — but because she had already been preparing to apply on her own, her documents were almost all in order, which let us file quickly on her behalf.
We are glad the card arrived without a hitch!
