Not "at least 4 months". It's actually about a 3 month wait. As far as I'm aware, the backlog isn't a result of ESL teachers whose names match convicted sex offenders. It may, however, be a result of ESL teachers asking for CRCs that they don't actually need.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: go to your local RCMP detachment, tell them what you need, and they will give you the required check. I got mine printed out for free in about 5 minutes and it worked for my E2 in March 2011.
If it turns out that your name matches that of a convicted sex offender, then MAYBE you might need the fingerprint check, but I wouldn't worry about it unless it actually happens.
You can also go to City Police, as dbtm has said, but if you want to save money and time, find an RCMP detachment (there will be one in major cities as well as small towns). |

This is true! When I was picking up mine the guy who was in front me had a problem because his birthdate matched someone else with the same name and a conviction (I swear I wasn't eavesdropping, the office is tiny its impossible not to hear!).
But yeah 4 months should be the absolute most for the RCMP Ottawa check so if you have the time it might be worth it to spend the money on the fingerprints and do the ottawa check just to be sure. |

You don't need to get your criminal background check notarized. You are sending the original after all. In fact, background checks will specifically state that they are not valid unless they have a seal of the police department on it.
The purpose of a notarization is to indicate that a notary public has vouchsafed the authenticity of a copied document. That is why you must notarize the copy of your university diploma.
Just notarize the copy of your diploma and bring it and your CBC to the Korean consulate. The person there will put the verification stamps on the documents and you can send it off to Korea.
Notarizing your CBC is just a waste of cash. |

| EPIK required my ORIGINAL criminal record check with the consulates stamp on it. When I applied for my E2 I sent a notarized copy and they accepted it, but I'm sure they had it on file somewhere that they had already seen the original a few months prior. |

The way it went for me in Vancouver at the end of 2010:
1. Go to the local police station
2. Pay 50-something dollars and ask for a Police Certificate with VS
3. 2 minutes later receive your printed PC
4. Go to a notary public
5. Pay 8$ for notarizing a photocopy of the PC
6. Send the original PC to Korea and submit the notarized photocopy to your local consulate
7. ???
8. Profit |

Hi ssuprnova,
What does the VS stand for? Going to do this in Vancouver this week and want to make sure I get it right!
Thanks |

I got my CBC from within Canada in January. I got my fingerprints done digitally through L1 ( a private company owned by comissionaires) and submitted the forms through thier company. I got my results back in 4 business days (no record) although it says 2 weeks on the website. I submitted my CBC to the Toronto Korean consulate to have it certified. No need to get it notarized since it's an original document. (You do have to get your copy of your degree notarized though). I had no problems at the consulate.
It doesn't matter if you use a private company to submit the forms and fingerprints because the RCMP sends back it's own documents with no indication that they were submitted through a private company.
It was a little more expensive to get the prints done, but I figure I'm covered if K-immi changes the rules for what is needed by Canadians. |

| Now I know that the Canadian CBC has to have the consular seal put on it. . . but how can I get all my documents together from within Korea? I'm changing contracts in October and trying to get everything lined up now. Any advice? Thoughts? |
