I am Canadian and I will be studying accounting. I was wondering, would it be easy to find a job as an accountant in Japan?

I don't know about easy, but you could do it, sure.

If you also speak Japanese, then it'll be easy.

Speaking some decent Japanese helps a lot.
Having a proper visa before you start looking for a job is a big plus.
Being certified in a few international standard will help you to get a better position/salary.

Then just hit the numerous recruiting companies in Tokyo.

Since you'll be studying accounting it may be possible for you to get a job in one of the international banks, as many of these roles don't require Japanese language. But it would be easier to get in if you already have some experience, as the market is not so good at the moment. Also there are many jobs in recruiting, which generally don't require you to speak Japanese if you are dealing with financial clients. Best of luck and let me know if you need any other info :)

I don't think this is a big deal. As long as you are *eligible* for a visa, any company that would even consider hiring an non-Japanese-speaker will have no problem sponsoring it....

Nah, not at all. There are lots of branches of foreign companies that are perfectly happy to hire E-only people. The only caveat is that if you speak no Japanese, you have to apply purely on the strength of you credentials, so if you're right out of college and have no job experience then you may find it a bit tougher.

Thanks for the tips guys! What do you think about if i wanted to marry my Japanese boyfriend as well. How would i go about that? After I graduate from university, then i want to find a job in Tokyo and marry my Japanese boyfriend. I would most likely already have a working visa if I went there based on having a job. How does one go about marrying a foreigner in a foreign country?
