MMF 3some and then FFM 3some (how could she say no?).

All achievements unlocked!

Interesting you say that, this is hot off the presses: Forget moving to Canada — it just got easier to become a permanent resident of Japan

Basically, all immigrants become eligible for permanent residency after living in Japan for 10 years.

However, in 2012, the Ministry introduced a points-based system to shorten the wait for highly skilled applicants in three categories: advanced academic research activities, advanced specialized/technical activities, and advanced business management activities. Applicants in these categories who scored sufficient points by the system’s rubric were eligible for a preminent resident visa after five years.

The latest changes further shorten that period to just three years for those scoring over 70 points and just one year for those scoring over 80 points. They have also added additional ways to earn points, such as awarding investment in Japanese businesses and degrees from highly rated institutions.

I am torn, should I learn Chinese (more practical, more future use, larger population) or Japanese (more personal interest but Japan is a smaller declining country that is notoriously isolationist)?

PS: Feel free to add further points of differentiation between the two languages.

PPS: By Chinese I mean mandarin with simplified script, i.e. the official language in China.
