My wife and I (Canadian) have been together for 5 years and married for 1, she is a Japanese national who has Canadian PR and we are moving to Japan this year. (I will be going with Spousal Visa)
I graduated college with a diploma in computing studies & information systems. Basically, networking, data structure & design, programming, software engineer / development, etc.
I currently work remotely for Canadian company as technical analyst in support, and help all our clients with their issues, inquiries, etc.
Thankfully, as we are a somewhat global company we have multiple time zones within our teams, and my department/ manager agreed to let me continue working for the company remotely from Japan. (All legal methods)
My question is, as someone who likes to prepare for the unknown, if I do end up losing my job for whatever reason, how likely am I to get a job in Japan without speaking Japanese initially?
I am bilingual (English / Spanish) and will try my best to learn conversational Japanese within the year.
And if anybody have any experience with remote jobs from outside Japan, how difficult is it to land them?
Thank you all in advance 🙏
