Transitioning to Family Class After Extending Her Long-Term Work Status Through a Combination of a Working Holiday Visa and an RO Visa｜Ms. Y

I was very satisfied with the consistently thorough and helpful responses to even my most complicated questions.

To fulfill her dream of living abroad, which she had held since university, Y came to Canada. In addition to the regular Working Holiday Visa, she strategically utilized an RO Visa to extend her period of authorized work and stay in Canada. At Visa JP Canada, we provided support to help her successfully obtain these multiple work permits and recommended changing her visa status at the airport.

She is currently receiving support with the process of transitioning to a Family Class application as a common-law partner, with the goal of establishing long-term status in Canada.

Why did you decide to move to Canada?

I had dreamed of living abroad since university, and Canada, as an English-speaking country, was one of the options I considered. I decided to come to Canada on a Working Holiday Visa because I was excited about working in English and making new friends while gaining new experiences.

Why did you decide to use Visa JP Canada’s services?

I asked Visa JP Canada to assist me with both my Working Holiday Visa and RO Visa applications. I am also currently receiving their assistance with my Common-Law Partner application under the Family Class.

They always take the time to answer even complicated questions and concerns thoroughly. Applying for a visa on my own can be quite stressful and uncertain, but their support has always helped me resolve my concerns and feel reassured throughout the process.

What was the most memorable part of the application and visa process?

I felt very reassured because they carefully checked every detail of my application documents and made sure there were no mistakes.

When it was finally time to change my visa status at the airport, I was very nervous, but I was happy that the process went smoothly and I was able to obtain my visa successfully.

How was your experience using Visa JP Canada’s services?

I have been very satisfied with their consistently thorough responses, even when I have complicated questions. Thank you very much for all your support.

What are your hopes for your future life in Canada, and what message would you give to people planning to come to Canada?

I live in Vancouver, Canada. Although it is a city, it is also surrounded by nature, making it a wonderful place to live.

I have lived here for five years, and of course, there have been both happy and difficult times. However, I am very happy that my experience here has made me want to stay in Canada longer, and I feel that it has been a truly valuable experience.

Even if you are only staying abroad for a few months, I believe living overseas can broaden your perspective and become an incredible life experience.
