Hi there looking to go on a working holiday to Japan from Canada. Im 28 and want to go before I get aged out and at least have the experience and try my best. So I am looking to go within the next year.
I am looking to go with an agency to help out with any problems that might occur and get support, I would rather pay a bit and have that support and have housing for the first couple weeks than struggle on my own.
They have 3 listed on the Canadian embassy of Japan so I would rather go with one of those seeing as they endorse them as options.
They are https://swap.ca/
https://gointernational.ca/program-category/japan/
https://stepabroad.com/working-holiday/japan/send-off/
I definitely want a package that has the housing for a few weeks as I know finding a place in Japan as a foreigner can be a pain.
I was thinking of going with swap as there package is slightly cheaper overall but would be willing to pay more if people have had a negative experience with them or find the others have better service overall.
Go international is only a bit more so if the service is much better I wouldn't mind going with them.
Stepabroad seems a little expensive without housing for a similar price. But I would go with them if it is a clear winner.
If anyone has gone and used any of those organizations please let me know your experience and maybe help me decide which one I should go with. I know I could save without using any of them but I would prefer a smoother transition and any support I can get.
