would that contract impede the visa process for any future schools?


It depends. The new system is still very new and very different from the previous one. There is one system for the whole of China which is causing issues as it is frequently offline for maintenance, it is clunky and they keep changing it on a whim.

It has three stages to it and each requires a 'pass' at different departments. Until the first passes it, it won't reach the next one. If something is wrong or not accepted an internal message is sent telling the school what needs to be done. It is at the last stage, the status will change to 'decided to pass' and the new work permit card will go in a queue to be printed. Once it has, the card will be visible on screen. Your school will have to send someone to the provincial office to collect it.

If the application they may have made has reached this stage then yes, you will be blocked and can't apply elsewhere until that card is cancelled.

You initially asked about sending original documents, simply don't. For an application where the applicant is outside of China, they are not required. As long as your authentications have the silver authentication sticker on them, they will be accepted. It is after you arrive they will be verified and you will have to hand over your passport etc. If you are in China, then yes, your school will need to collect the original documents from you and hand them in at the time of collecting the card.

The next stage after collecting the card is to get your resident permit. For this, only your passport and some other forms unique to your school are required. You most likely will have to attend the PSB in person. In the past some areas didn't need this but it is becoming more frequent now.


I don't think my application has even reached the first stage since I had to renew my passport here in Canada. They only recieved a scan of my old passport, the new one I just received has a
different number. They kept insisting that i send everything over in the mail after I collected all the documents. Which makes me believe they haven't started yet.

I got my university degree authenticated in Suzhou - in 10 days. Cost 385y. By some Chinese educational branch of the government. They scanned my diploma, transcripts, passport.

10 days later an envelope arrived via EMS from Beijing. 2 certificates proving the degree's authenticity. END OF STORY

The translation cost another 300y - but they did it also.
