A Self-Filed PR Card Renewal With Deficiencies: Completed After Immigration Raised Concerns｜Ms. S
Date Posted:February 9, 2026
Last Updated:September 24, 2026
Ms. S, a Canadian permanent resident, filed a PR card renewal application alone, ran into deficiencies, and came to us after being contacted about them by the Canadian immigration authority. PR card renewals are increasingly handled online, but once corrections or additional responses are needed, handling it personally often becomes difficult. Here we organised the situation, set an appropriate course of action, and completed the renewal.
Correspondence by email was smooth as well, and I am very grateful.

Key Points from the Consultant
Deficiencies had been found in the self-filed application and requests for additional information and documents had arrived when we were asked to file on the client’s behalf, and we re-applied.
To make the application complete with nothing missing, we dug deeper into the information and documents provided and asked further questions, which I am sure was demanding.
This time no additional information or documents were requested at all, and the PR card arrived about nine days ahead of the average processing time. Congratulations!

Client Comments
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
From a young age I worked abroad on fixed-term contracts. When I turned fifty I thought this might be my last chance to move overseas, and I came to Canada for the first time fifteen years ago.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
I renewed my PR card myself, but there must have been a lot of mistakes in the application, because I received a complaint email from the Canadian immigration authority and was at a complete loss. A friend then told me Shiraishi VisaJP Canada was good to deal with, so I decided to contact them.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
I was deeply relieved by the detailed explanations and the precise judgement in their advice. I could tell they were highly experienced.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
Correspondence by email was smooth as well, and I am very grateful.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
Visa procedures change every year and can now be done online, but I found that once you make a mistake it is extremely hard to correct. At times like that, being able to hand it to a specialist instead of worrying alone was so reassuring. Being able to consult in Japanese was also a real plus. Thank you. Please let me consult you again if anything comes up.
