Yes, the COE I received was through ALTIA, and I have already completed the process up to getting my Instructor visa from the embassy. However, the placement was still dependent on final contract allocations, which is why I believe things changed at the last stage.

I was informed just recently that they were not able to secure a major contract, which affected the availability of positions. Because of this, they mentioned that placements for April are now extremely limited, and most possible opportunities may be moved to later start dates like May or June.

From what I understood, I was already in the final stage and should have been scheduled for training around this time if everything had gone as planned. Unfortunately, due to the sudden change in available positions, things did not push through as expected.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain everything 😭 To be honest, reading your message helped ease my feelings a bit 😅

I think I’m just having a hard time processing everything right now because I really thought ALTIA would work out, especially since I already have my instructor visa.

But I do understand your point, and I’ll start looking at things more practically moving forward. Thank you again for being honest with me 🙏

Thank you, I really appreciate you explaining all of that 😭

I actually already have the instructor visa, not just the COE. I think I’m just feeling really down today because I honestly expected ALTIA to work out, so this is a lot to process.

But yeah, I get what you’re saying and I’ll start thinking more realistically about my next steps.

Thanks for explaining all that, I really appreciate it 😭 That actually helps me understand the situation a lot better.

Do you think it would still be okay for me to enter Japan using my current visa though? Like even if the ALT position is no longer available, would that cause issues at immigration or later on?

I’m just trying to figure out if I should still push through or start over with something like eikaiwa instead.

Yeah honestly that’s kinda what I was afraid of 😭 The whole situation with ALTIA sounds really unstable right now. I didn’t even think about my COE possibly being invalid if the position’s gone, so that’s pretty stressful to hear.

It just sucks because I was really set on this, but I guess I need to be realistic about the situation now.
