I just looked at the application for NOVA and it asks what cities I would like to teach in, if any. Are there any cities I should try to avoid? I'm really not too picky.

Also, how long does the application process for NOVA or AEOS take, weeks or months? I am applying through the Toronto office for both, if that helps.

Thanks.

Have you thought about whether you're a winter person or summer person? Japan is really long so the North gets a longer, colder winter and the South gets a longer, hotter summer. Think about the size of the town too. Would you rather live in a busy city or a calmer rural town? Do you like skiing? These are the things you should tell NOVA. There are no "bad" towns as such. It's just a case of preference.

Departure is usually about 3-4 months after you submit your application.
