For context, I am a 23 year old canadian who works as an archeologist and has a 1-year certificate from a local college. If I want to move to Japan, am I going to have to suck it up and get a bachelor's degree, or will TEFL certification be enough to get me in? I understand that there are working holiday visas and skilled workers visas, but my understanding is that I wouldn't qualify for a skilled workers visa due to archaeology not really being a prevalent field of work. And my understanding of the working holiday visa is that I can only stay for a total of 2 years, and I must return to Canada at the end of that. Are there any ways that a working holiday visa can lead to permanent residency that I am unaware of? If my best bet is to just get a degree and then try to go over and teach English, I guess I will have to get started on that.
