Help for 2006!!

[ekimdrachir]

I am a Canadian Student, and I want to move to Japan for a few months in the summer of 2006 so that I can experience what it is like there. I need the help of someone who lives in Japan to do this though. I need help finding a place to live for 3-4 months, and a job. I am highly adaptive, but my training and specialties lie in theater, filmmaking and stage performance tech. If anyone can help, email me at [email protected]. I'm a nice guy, and I just want to meet some cool people and go to Japan.

I may be wrong, but you need to have completed university studies to apply for working holiday... :?
You need to check programs that Canada has to offer.
Although you may have expertise in theater, etc., you won't be able to make money there. (It's even hard for native Japanese.) Teaching English is sure guarantee for supporting yourself in Japan. You may get lucky and find a job in the entertainment business while you teach English...

Yup, you are

*Working Holiday Agreements: Based on bilateral agreements, working holiday programmes permit young people (between 18 and 30 years of age) from the countries concerned who are visiting a partner country on vacation to engage in work there so as to supplement their funds to travel and stay in that country, thereby providing them with an opportunity to get to know that country's culture and general lifestyle. At present Japan has such working holiday agreements with five countries: Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, and the Republic of Korea.
