Hello,

When looking at Korean jobs advertised on this site, most require a CRB check to have been done at the time of application? is this correct in all cases for teaching in Korea?

I am originally from Canada but have been living in England since 2007. Would I need a CRB check for both Canada and UK?

Does anyone from the UK know which check is required by Korean immigration?
�26 � standard CRB check
�44 � enhanced CRB check

I have not applied for any jobs yet but am trying to sort everything out beforehand.

Thanks

UK Check is from Disclosure Scotland, you just need a basic disclosure. It's the UK-wide check, don't be confused by the 'Scotland' in the name.

I think I am going to apply for the visa with my Canadian passport as Canadians get a refund of their pension contributions.

I'm guessing this would mean having a CBC done for Canada as opposed to the UK?

It's a bit tricky as I have been living in the UK for the past 4 years, so would need to get fingerprint check done here which is quite expensive then send it over to the RCMP.

Do you think I would be able to use a UK criminal background check but still apply for the E-2 visa on my Canadian passport to make use of the pension refund?

I extremely doubt you can use a Canadian passport and purely a UK CRC.
