I'm quite certain that I won't be staying at the current hagwon I teach at now. I haven't been there too long and had to submit the whole Apostilled FBI CRC to get the visa. Now that the worm has turned and I plan to move onto what are hopefully greener pastures, what is the procedure? |

The search function on Dave's boggles my mind. I even Googled it. If you cannot provide any links could you suggest an appropriate phrasing? Thanks. |

I have found that the search option will only work if you put in a single word. I have just been trying to be creative with my one word to find what I am looking for and it has worked each time. |

Every 3rd search I get a white screen. Would some kind person with better search skills or a bookmark please help me out? |

Interesting search site, much thanks. The results I got were still pretty inconclusive. I find it hard to believe that there aren't any current threads in the first 3 pages of the Job forum. I guess everybody is extremely satisfied with their job lately... lol...  |

Changing employers at the end of your contract is now MUCH easier (in effect about the same as an extension/renewal).
Changing DURING the term of your contract is still the same (need permission from your old employer).

OK, I just got off the phone with the Immigration helpline. This is what I've understood from the conversation.
* If I resign I have to do another visa run.
* If I quit the school has to cancel my current visa within 15 days after which I can get a new visa via another visa run.
The long and the short of it is that once K-Immi has your FBI CRC you don't need to resubmit it?
Please correct me if I'm wrong. |

bumping this one because it is pretty important...
if someone can verify what I took away from my chat with K-Immi that'd be great...
it's hard to believe that if I quit my school has to cancel my visa within 15 days after which I can find another school without having to resubmit the FBI CBC, diploma, etc. it just seems to good to be true. it actually seems logical and humane. |
