I’m planning to go to Japan for graduate school in a couple years. I was there this year for about 2 weeks and loved it, I just would like feedback from everyone!
**Background Info:**
\- 21 years old, dual citizen (US and Canada), lived in Canada in my whole life
\- Currently in my first year of CS
\- Visited Japan this year in 2023
\- Currently learning Japanese
\- I plan to visit every year reconfirm if I really want to move to Japan in the coming years, including staying for longer lengthy periods (3 – 8 weeks), so I get an idea of what it might be like to live there even if its minor
\- I’ve been doing research on a lot of things like other expats getting lonely and whatnot and I’ve been focusing on making sure I’m not gonna be making a mistake. This has also made me think of ways I could avoid/power through these adversities
**Roadmap**
\- Graduate BSc around 2027/2028
\- Get into graduate school for MSc in Japan for 2 years
\- **Find a job within Japan after getting my masters**
​
General Questions:
\- Is it hard to go from Student Visa -> Work Visa? I heard there’s a several month window to find a job in Japan after graduating as long as you show your proof, such as sending resumes?
\- Is this plan feasible, what are your thoughts?
​
Any help and feedback is appreciated, thanks!
