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. Very Happy

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.
