Just a couple more questions for those of who are so kind to take the time to reply and help make my trip to Korea a good one:

1) I am a certified teacher and will be sent to Japan for a working visa by my employer upon my arrival in Korea. I am going to bring my degrees, but was wondering whether I need to bring university transcripts for working visa approval.

2) The college that is going to be employing me has agreed to pay for my visa run to Japan, but has stated that I am responsible for paying for my own airfare from Canada. Since they require me to sign a contract, is it reasonable to ask the college to reimburse my airfare upon completion of my contract?

3) My fiancee has a college diploma. Will she have any difficulty getting a job? What about obtaining a visa as a teacher?

Thanks a lot!

Plenty of places will pay your return fare from Canada. The contract can be faxed email to you and you can do everything there in Canada. You do risk having your employer play games on you once you are here if they feel that they have you traped. I'm into my eight year here and can say that it's best not to trust.
If you intend to stay more than one year then bring your original of your degree with you along with transcripts. Only ever send digital colour copies to an employer as you can loose your originals if you trust. Requirement change from year to year and can differ from on immigration office to the next.
A three or four year university bacholors degree depending where you are from is the minium requirment here.

1) I dont think you'll need anything more than some money, passport and your temporary work visa (the bluish letter with you and your bosses name on it along with Immigation's stamp) when you go to Japan to do the visa run. At least that's as far as I remember, my last trip was back in June.

2) Getting reimbursed for airfare is standard here. Ask for it.

3) A 4 year BA/ BSc/ BFA is the minimum they want here. If she has that, then she stands a good chance of getting hired. You cant get a work visa unless you have a job / sponsor. She'll be here as a tourist until she does.

Hope that helps
