Hello everyone,
My girl friend's father is a permanent resident of Japan and he has been living there for more than 30 years now. He owns a restaurant business for more than 10 years but he never decided to shift his whole family when he got married as they were more comfortable living in INDIA (both my gf and her mother holds INDIAN citizenship). She can read, write and speak Japanese language but got out of touch. Three years ago my girl friend & I (we both are above 18) moved to Canada for post grad studies and now we want to get married and move to Japan. Right now we both are on work permit and managers for a company. So can my girl friend get permanent residency directly through his father? If yes what is the best thing to do, she should apply PR first and get married or get married first and both apply for Japanese PR? If she cannot get PR through his father what is best thing to do in this situation? can he atleast sponsor her a work visa through his business? Please let me know if you need more information.
Thank you.
