Moving

14 years ago
Hello all, I am currently contemplating moving out of my home country of Canada. I am considering multiple places, one being Japan.

I am curious as to a few things.

1.) How hard is it to obtain a working visa?

2.) I work as a cook proffesionally, are these jobs available without speaking japanese, in a expat pub / resto perhaps? Also what is the average wage (and is it deemed 'liveable')? Would it alternativly be better to teach English?

3.) How much is standard for a 1 bdrm apt in, Osaka (considering elsewhere as well, maybe tokyo)? How hard are these apartments to come by?

4.) I currently breed Royal (ball) Pythons, if I were to be travelling with them, (I have 4) are there any special permits needed to keep these animals?

Other helpful information is appreciated and welcomed aswell. Thanks all.
