 Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:18 am Post subject: How am I supposed to get this when I am in Korea? |
 |
|
I've been working in Korea for over a year. I was laid off at my first school because they had to make cutbacks, and now I'm at a new school.
My new school is asking that I provide a new notarized copy of my university degree and a new criminal background check for visa purposes.
I have NO idea how I'm supposed to get a new notarized copy of my degree and CBC since I'm not home in Canada. Can I even do that since I'm here in Korea? Don't I need to be there to provide my signature etc? I'm sure there must be a way but I don't know how. I didn't go back home after getting laid off, I just transferred schools immediately.
Help!? |

There is a "sticky" about this subject in the top section of this very page.
There are also numerous threads about it.
It might take a while to sift through the info, but the info is there 
I'd give you the information, but I'm not Canadian.
Good Luck! |

| Look on your university's website and e-mail the registrar's office. Then have it sent to family members to forward to your state's authentications office. It's easy. |

If you transferred and your ARC was changed to add the new/change of employer then you do not need it for your visa (unless they are trying to extend you and even then you may not need it - go to immigration and verify since you are not American.)
IF your documents were k-consulate certified then you do not need them for immigration/visa. If they were simply notarized (or you used the original of your degree instead of a certified copy then you may need new ones).
Your employer may be asking for it for the MOE requirements. If so, you do NOT need a new set. A copy of the ones used for your E2 will suffice.
