If you worked for a hagwon legally, then you should have something in your passport (how did you stay 11 months on a tourist visa?  ) Passports are good for 10 years. Did you work more than 10 years ago? |
American passports are good for 10 years. Canadian passports are only good for five years. Not everyone is American. |

Actually, the E2 visa I ended up scanning and emailing was in an old, expired passport that I had kept. It didn't matter that the passport had expired, of course.
It would almost be nice to get a new passport every five years. My previous American passport filled up way before it was expired and I had to make a trip to the consulate to get extra pages anyhow. |

Doesn't sound like said employment was favorable.
I wouldn't bother.
If you don't have a certificate of completion stamped by a former manager or owner stating that you worked a full year...
or
a reference
then I wouldn't bother. |

Just to add to this for anyone who runs into in the future -
employers are required to provide a document stating when you worked there. It's in the labor law. If they refuse to, you can go to the labor board/MOJ/government and complain and they take those complaints quite seriously.
Sad I didn't see this thread originally, but glad it worked out for you. |

It's good to know that this issue is taken that seriously. Like lots of things involving the labor board, however, it wouldn't really help me keep the school as a reference or get a job (when I was job-hunting).
This is something I could do now, though, since I have a job. But still, if I take a former school to the labor board I can't imagine that I would ever be able to have that school on my CV again. That sort of sucks. |
