On the EPIK website: ethnic Koreans with legal residency must prove they've attended school from grade 7 ...

Does this just refer to people with Permanent Resident status (or Green Card in the US) or would I also have to provide proof?

I'm a naturalized Canadian and I think I still hold dual citizenship. I never renounced my citizenship (since I'm a girl/no military issues), but do Korean-Canadians lose Korean citizenship after they turn a certain age?

Any information would be great, thanks!

If you want to get an F4 visa for work purpose in Korea, you have to renounce your Korean citizenship because Korea does not allow dual citizenship. If you want to keep your dual citizenship, come as E2. There's no automatic loss of citizenship due to age.
Since you were born in a non-English speaking country, you have to provide proof of schooling in an English speaking country. Grade reports, graduation certificate from your middle, high school etc would be sufficient.

Thanks for the info.

I read somewhere on the website saying I need sealed transcripts of all the schools from gr.7 and that's going to be impossible for me since I moved a lot. I hope they just take my report cards though since I still have them.

You only need your college transcript. I'm a Taiwanese-American, lived in the US since the 7th grade. I got accepted into EPIK just fine. I didn't have to submit any transcripts from middle school or high school. On the application where it asks for your education info, that's how EPIK know whether you are qualified or not.
