Obtaining a Post-Graduation Work Permit While Three Family Members Held Different Visa Statuses｜Ms. H

This case involves Ms. H, who lives in Toronto and obtained a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) at a time when all three members of her family held different visa statuses. Because another application was still under assessment, the submissions had to be prepared carefully so that no inconsistencies arose. Shiraishi VisaJP Canada handled both her PGWP application and a visitor record application for her daughter, and the permit was approved three months and three weeks after filing, allowing her to begin working as an early childhood educator in Canada.
They listened carefully to every question and concern I had about the application process, even though all three of us in the family had different visa statuses.

Customer Comments and Testimonials
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
It was a combination of my family’s work circumstances and my own desire to change careers.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
I had used their free consultation service once before, and the response I received then was extremely kind and helpful.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
What stayed with me most was how carefully they listened to every question and concern I had about the application process, even though all three of us in the family held different visa statuses. That put me completely at ease. Their responses were also remarkably fast and very easy to understand, so I was able to move through the process with confidence.
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
I am sincerely grateful for how thorough and how quick their support was — far beyond what I had expected. Many people apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit on their own, but in my case there was a possibility that my situation could affect my family, so I wanted to work with a specialist I could consult immediately if anything went wrong. Over the roughly four months until my permit was issued, Ms. Sasaki responded to me sincerely time and time again, and I was truly thankful for that.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
For the time being I will be working full-time as an early childhood educator. For anyone who, like me, tends to worry, I think consulting a specialist rather than carrying everything alone genuinely changes the quality of your life in Canada. I hope everyone travelling to Canada from here on can draw on the help of others and spend their time studying and working positively and without constraint.
We handled Ms. H's Post-Graduation Work Permit application as well as a visitor record application for her daughter. Because another application was still under assessment separately, it was essential to proceed in a way that avoided any inconsistency with the information already submitted. The current processing time for a PGWP is 117 days, so the approval did arrive within the published processing period. Even so, we understand there were times when Ms. H felt uneasy, wondering whether the interaction with the other application might slow her assessment. We are very grateful for her patience throughout. We understand she will now begin working as an early childhood educator, and everyone at Shiraishi VisaJP Canada wishes her every success in the years ahead.
