Just got an email form my recruiter regarding EPIK positions starting in september 2012 saying that you can no longer select which you want to work in, you just have to choose provincial or metropolitan city and you can also no longer apply as a couple unless you are married! I was hoping to be able to apply with my girlfriend but it looks like i wont be able to now.

Anyone got any more info on this?

So, now you have to send notarized marriage documents? How do they enforce this marriage rule? What if you just say you are married?

Looks like they aren't worried about getting good teachers. Any body will do just fine. Hopefully, there are better schools working directly with recruiters that you can apply through to get the location you want.

This might come back to bite them, when teachers leave crappy locations midway through the contract period.
