|
|
Hey,
I'm preparing my documents for a second run in Korea and I've reached the vague 'medical report'. What sorts of tests are required? Is it a general physical or is there something I can give to my doctor to guide him. I'd hate to get a bunch of things done only to find out Immigration isn't happy...anyone know of a link that tells specifically what is required?
Thanks |

For the visa application it is just a self answered questionnaire. Your recruiter should have a copy for you.
You have to have the actual medical exam done in Korea AFTER your arrival and BEFORE you can get your ARC. |

I'm not going to be going through a recruiter and my school has probably only hired once on their own under the new VISA regulations. I doubt they have one...
Anyone whose recently gone through the process have a copy of the questionnaire? |

Hey there,
Check out ASKnow at this website : http://www.asknow.ca/visa.aspx
You should be able to download the health form that is needed for your visa from this website.
Good luck with everything.  |

Just out of curiosity, what does the medical exam done in Korea entail? |

Just posted on this again yesterday.

The "recruitment health exam" typically includes height, weight, blood pressure, vision, hearing, and a chest x-ray (to check for TB). YMMV, however. |
