The bigger issue is that he is likely now without a work visa and has to scramble to avoid deportation.

I dont think that's true in canada. IANAL but i was under the impression that if you are fired you are still allowed to stay until your work permit expires. Its only usa that has the problem you describe.

In Canada, one can stay until it expires but they aren't allowed to work for anyone else in that time. (some will let you look for work for varying times)
It isn't the same doom, but doom nonetheless.

The grace period varies wildly by country and, often, by the type of visa or work permit you hold. In my own sphere of experience, for example:
- German Blue Card and Japanese work visa holders get 90 days
- US H-1B holders get 60 days
- Singaporean EP and Chinese Z-visa holders get 30 days
- Hong Kong GEP holders can stay for the length of their original visa
Of course there are various ways to extend all of these (and some are much easier than others) but it's far from a globally standard policy.

In basis. If you can still support yourself and you are still looking for a job Japan has no issues extending this.
