| Seems to me that if you didn't, you'd have to restart the whole insane process over again. |

I don't think so. I didn't get mine back.
Why would you want it back? To use it again after your year is up? I thought CBC were only good for six months? |

| I got everything after I arrived....didn't even show up with my original diploma I had to have it sent from the states. This was in February of this year. You can still do it although it will be a much bigger headache! |

| No didn't get the Criminal Record Check back ... But as someone else has said ... The CRC is only accepted by immigration for up to 6 months from when it is issued ... And given that most contracts are for 12 months ... Yes ... we will have to go through it all again later ... unless they change the rules .... |

no come to think of it, why is that?
On this topic, today a korean co teacher (my kindy hagwon is driving me round the bend, id reccommend coming to korea to work in a call centre instead of working in a hagwon) asked me to bring back my degree certificate as my director needs it, she said she didnt know why, i had already said i hadnt sent it home yet after they asked- why would she need this? I cant see any reason |

| Mine needed to get a copy of it as part of registering me at the Education Office ... So it is probably just for something like that ... I would expect to get it back within the day if that is the reason why ... I gather that is something that they need to do with any new employee .... |

Don't, don't give them your diploma. Don't even let them smell it. |

Easier said than done these days my friend, as even the *copies* need to have the apostille notary. |

It is NOT true that the copies of diplomas need to be apostilled ...
This is NOT a requirement of Immigration ... Though my recruiter tried to tell me that it was at one stage of the process ... But a posting of what immigration said on their website in terms of what needed to be supplied .... what the options where to verify the degree ... being apostilled (like the criminal record check) IS NOT one of the options ...
And even if it was ... It was going to be cheaper for me to request a new original from my university (despite the expense of that) than to get a copy of the original (or the original itself .. which my recruiter told me was needed) apostilled ...
In the end (because for me there was a considerable expense involved in even travelling to the consulate to get a copy verified) I sent my originals to Korea (as I had the first time around the year before) and was given them back very soon after I arrived by my school (hagwon) ... I actually had more trouble the year before at a public school in getting them back ... |

| According to the new rules. If you got an E-2 visa since the new regulations, you don't need to submit a CRC every year |

| The one I got through the RCMP looks the same when it is photo-copied. So why would I be foolish enough to give them an original. |
