What the hell do I do? I submitted one with VSS (Canadian) to immigration for my visa application for my current job It was processed and signed in Canada in mid-December. So it's not even a couple of months old. They gave me notice here and I want to apply for another job.

Do I need a new one or not? That is the question. Where does the 6-month rule apply? I know the CRC can't be any older than six months from the time it's processed and signed to apply for a visa, but if it's already been used to get a visa, can I apply for a new visa with the same one if the CRC is still less than 6 months old?

Argh.

do you have it in your hand? i thought once you applied, immi kept it with your other docs in a trash can/file cabinet/ mysterious place.

That'll be a laugh.

Good luck though. I guess it can't hurt to try.

Canadian Citizens:

You must request the Vulnerable Sector Screening Program check. This is a special check for those working with children and other vulnerable members of society. Here is a step-by-step of the process:

Visit your local police department and request a Police Record Check including the Vulnerable Sector Screening Program. (request expedited service if possible) In many cases, they require the signature of the agency requesting the check. If this is the case, you can email us the form. In most cases, we are able to sign as we have registered with the police departments. We will then send the form to you via Canada Post (be sure to include your mailing address)
Once you receive the check, you must have it notarized by a Notary Public or a lawyer. Example of a company that provides the service: http://www.redsealnotary.com
Once your police check is notarized, you must bring it or mail it to your closest Korean consulate for their stamp of approval. The cost for this is $2.20 (cash or money order) If you live too far, you can mail it, including the fee and the criminal background check along with a copy of your passport. If going in person, be sure to bring your passport as well.

i just went throught this. i thought it had a 3 month shelf-life but apparently it is now 6 months.

if you plan to apply for a new job the original criminal check is fine, but you'd still have to get it notarized i would imagine, unless you are currently in korea - in which case i am not sure if you'd need to get it notarized. you should still have the original though.

if you're going to mail it toi the consulate you have to send an expresspost pre-paid envelope with your stuff so they can mail it back to you (my experience in toronto)
