Millions of Indians go to study in countries like America, UK, Canada and Germany every year. But about 1600 Indians study in Japan. Let’s know about some possible reasons for this.
Permanent or Green Card Visa
It is necessary to stay here for 10 consecutive years for Permanent Residency in Japan as compared to countries like America, UK, Australia and Canada. Along with this, knowledge of Japanese language is also important. Also, the quota of permanent residency is also very limited here. Japan has no lottery system like American Green Card. In addition, the long list of documents and strict scrutiny makes the process long and complex. That is why most Indians prefer other countries for studies. So that after studying, permanent residency can be achieved with jobs. In Britain and Australia, permanent residents are found in four-five years.
Language and cultural challenge
There is a lot of emphasis on cultural and social integration in Japan. It is less strict in other countries. Along with this, there is also a problem of language. Countries like America, Britain and Australia have a lot of job prospects after Permanent Residency. Whereas in Japan it is difficult to get a job without Japanese language. Japan’s culture, strict work ethics and different social settings make some students difficult for adjustments.
Job opportunities
Japan is one of the major economies of the world. But the growth of his economy has been very slow for a long time. Because of this, the range of jobs is limited. In contrast, there is a wide range of jobs in Europe and America. Especially IT, healthcare, finance and engineering. Indians emphasize on learning English language, so they do not have to go to these countries and learn new language.
