Figuring out if I can work in japan

Hi guys I'm currently struggling to find information since I'm in a special case. I'm currently finishing my studies of japanese in japan and wondering if I could get a work visa.

My school that I studied in canada calls it an It diploma, however two people I have talked in japan with have called my diploma a bachelor's or from what I can understand they told me, because I studied 4 years and got a major in information systems.

If you're wondering who said it, my japanese school said that I should've I've been put into the 大学生 category on my student visa because of it. Which at the time I didn't know I supposed to attach it because I didn't think it would work. I also had a recruiting company saying it should be fine since they stated that it was only a major they looked at.

The problem is it doesn't say Bachelor's on it. So I was wondering if I could get into japan to work with it or if I shouldn't even bother wasting my time and just go home?

Most qualifications fall into a framework for different levels of achievement and equivalency. Sound like you are concerned that because of the name on a piece of paper says "x" and not "y". If your qualification is the equivalent of a university degree, then that will make your life easier. Probably finding out at what level the qualification is is your next step.

As a Canadian that is quite familiar with the post secondary education system here all I can say is that if you studied at a Community College in a program that was in no way affiliated with a university, it's a diploma. If you studied at a university, its a degree. If you studied in a program that was in both Community College and University (Nursing programs are an example of this) it depends on which school conferred the document.

Everyone likes to think they are a special case, but must often they are not. Also, "You need a Bachelor's if you want to work in Japan" is one of the very many false things you read on the Internet.

You will be fine

The problem is my diploma has a major on it.
Which is why the recruiting and my school said it should be fine. Since all the recruiting company asks for is just a major. But you guys are being helpful so thanks for the information.

Having a "major" on it is simply paper work. My undergraduate degree is in science and lists no major - that is simply how the certificates were done (I have triple major at undergrad level - just the way my courses worked out). My Masters degree in commerce lists my major for that, but these days, is pretty irrelevant. My dad has a diploma (from a university), but that was a shorter course/lower level so doesn't qualify as a bachelor's degree, I think it is more akin to a polytechnic/more trades college type of thing.
The other thing to note (probably not relevant for you) is that some countries a bachelor's degree is a three year course of study, and these are still as valid as the four-year North American ones - maybe we (Aus/NZ) cram more into the course - not sure. But when applying internationally there is a degree equivalency process - recognised schools/universities make it a little easier.
Good luck with your applications.
