Canadian Student Advocacy

Thousands have been unfairly stranded outside of Japan for two years. Canadian students demand the government advocate for our swift arrival to Japan. 日本語OK

Here is our open letter to members of the Canadian Government and the embassy of Canada in Japan:

So cautious but I hope this is good news for a lot of people waiting

WELCOME TO JAPAN | EASING ENTRY BAN

Japan will ease a near-ban on foreign arrivals this month, gradually allowing in more business travelers and students amid mounting frustration with stringent entry curbs. #stopjapansban #JapanTravelBan

(1/10) On the 12 & 13 of February (Saturday and Sunday), we will have a photo event on social media. We are asking everyone stranded outside Japan to share a photo of themselves with their name/country & how long you've been waiting
More info in the attached image

#残酷日本

不十分な対策は、日本人にも外国人に も害を与えます。国境閉鎖が続いて投資家が撤退すれば、景気は悪くなります。夜中にオンライン授業で勉強している外国人留学生もいます。また、活動や授業に支障をきたしている日本人学生もいます。一緒に頑張りましょう!

I will be attending this meeting as well. Anyone is free to join to listen to the discussion or participate themselves.

@CanEmbJapan @Japanfoundation Japanese language study and educational exchanges have not been happening for years. If this is a concern to Canada, please promptly make a statement denouncing this treatment and lack of reciprocity! The silence of the international community is what keeps the ban in place

@rossi_davide Loving the continued use of this graph lol

[Davide Rossi💙💛educationisnottourism.com @rossi_davide]

Once more, the disappointing Japanese government, slams the door in the face of International Students eagerly waiting (but for how long more?).

これは、鎖国中の日本経済が毎月失っている額であります。水際対策には科学的根拠はなく、国民の支持を得るためだけのものであ���ます。しかし、この損失を支持できますか？＃岸田ショック

@Enigmuh_ I am sure there are endless more of these videos but just from a quick search on YouTube here are some, and I personally met Japanese travellers just last summer and helped them out a bit with some instructions at Canada’s Wonderland

@Enigmuh_ When asked a few days ago, a government official declined to give a reason as to why the border closures were effective against the spread of omicron.

[Canadian Student Advocacy @CANtoJPN]

@Enigmuh_ People in Japan have been allowed to leave for as long as they’d like. This is false information. Japanese tourists can come and go to Canada while essential travellers are banned from Japan. Your understanding is completely wrong

A group of demonstrators from Barcelona, Spain. Who is interested in planning a protest soon in Toronto, Canada? Message me.

@motokorich “The measures we have taken worked.”
“Please elaborate on exactly how they worked”
“I can’t answer that”.
Literally beyond parody.

[Motoko Rich @motokorich]

He could not answer why border controls are considered necessary given that they did not help Japan avoid omicron outbreak.

@JunLoL77 found and created this particular graphic, thanks to them

[Canadian Student Advocacy @CANtoJPN]

South Korea, which has always had borders open and welcome to international students, has a lower amount of cases per million than Japan. Please tell us directly with facts how it is possible that we would endanger the Japanese citizens? #japantravelban

[Canadian Student Advocacy @CANtoJPN]

@JunLoL77 Sorry about that, will add the credit right now

[Canadian Student Advocacy @CANtoJPN]

The current closure is not based on facts or science. It is from still deeply rooted xenophobia
