Hi, I am currently living abroad in Japan -- and in order for me to obtain my Japanese Driver's license (my International License is expiring and I am living here for another year -- so therefore I need a Japanese driver's license to drive here for work purposes).
Anyways, I was told by the Japanese Driver's Licensing Officer that I need to prove that I have been living in Canada for the past 3 months before I moved to Japan last year in July. So, the one main document they are requesting is a copy of the "Immigration Records Certificate". Does anyone have any idea where I can obtain that real quickly (like within 1 week's time)? I'm on a deadline to obtain my license, so I can't do the full long version of obtaining this license in Japan. The reason this was requested was because I know Canada Customs official never stamps our passports whenever we exit or enter Canada --- and Japan Customs Officer didn't stamp my passport either. Therefore this has cause a lot of problem for me. I have been trying to search for this item to be obtain asap. But so far, to no avail!! So, please I need help ASAP and need to know immediately before this week ends (Need it by:June 16th 2018)!! So, anyone who knows what to do or can suggest any methods of proving my residency in Canada before moving to Japan would be helpful. I tried obtaining my Records of Employment -- but the previous company that I worked in Canada isn't willing to provide it to me!! So, I am desperately stuck on what else can I use to prove my residency. I normally live with my dad - so I don't pay rent nor utilities either...any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!
