Hello all!
I am a 19y/o from Vancouver, and I am interested in moving to japan through the IEC program.
I currently work as a Barber, and have no college/university education. Along with that, I don’t have any experience with the Japanese language. I was wondering how viable it is to move to Japan with a working holiday visa considering the fact that I don’t have a degree. Obviously the language is currently my biggest hindrance, but I’m not in a huge rush to leave.
My main questions are:
-Can I live sustainably on working holiday with a job that doesn’t require a degree?
-if I wanted to, could I extend my stay in Japan in order to gain qualification/certification as a barber in japan?(and if so, how sustainable would this be, in terms of finances/living cost?)
-Pertaining to the last question, would certification as a barber enable me to pursue permanent residency?
Any help or insight is much appreciated. I have only recently considered this whole “moving to japan” thing so pardon me if I come off as naive lol.
