Morita — Japan web business owner; family of four to Canada via PEO

Long-running Japan web/services company founder; relocated family of four (May 2021) via PEO without planning a local Canadian job search.

経営者(PEO利用で家族移住) · Vancouver

Profile

Morita (Masakazu Morita) founded and runs a Japan-based company doing website/web service production and client web development, with energy also on own products/media.

Current role

Continued supporting web service development after migrating; established a Canadian corporation. Did not plan ordinary local Canadian job hunting—PEO supports living in Canada while activity remains tied to non-Canadian (Japan) business patterns.

Japan experience

Built and operated a web production / web services company in Japan for an extended period (“ずっと日本で活動”). Article does not state a numeric years-in-business figure. Experienced operator/founder profile rather than employee IC ladder. Previously explored Hawaii media/visa ideas.

Path to Canada / North America

Chose Vancouver among English-speaking options for visa feasibility, safety, and Japanese community/information density (family not highly English-fluent). Timed move to BC kindergarten start—arrived May 2021 with spouse and two children. COVID blocked scouting trips; remote housing; quarantine complications on arrival.

Outcome

Successful family settlement while continuing business via PEO/Canadian corp structure. Advice emphasizes Japanese-parent community for childcare norms, plus Japanese supplementary school as kids’ English strengthens.
