I just recently went to get my visa but wasnt able to right away since i was missing a document here and there. But while i was there, the lady there told me about how one of the documents that i was handing to her (it was in Korean) should be looked over again since it didnt seem to match my own contract (english document signed)

Now, I was told that the document that she pointed out was simply a contract between my camp and the university where it was being hosted. The lady at the korean consulate was quite busy and was basically rushing me off so maybe she mis read it but i wanted to ask


When i sign the ENGLISH contract, is that the contract that i am legally bound to in both Korea and my home country (Canada)?

I am ONLY signing my english contract and nothing else that is in Korean.

I am a bit worried that when I am over there, all of a sudden there may be some sort of other contract in Korean that is pulled out saying I not only teach the kids but also cook and clean

Also, im sorry for asking this question, but im a bit worried/paranoid and i just want to make sure that when i sign something that that is what i will be legally bound to and there wont be some other Korean documents pulled out on me saying I have to clean the floors or something.

If needed I would be willing to post the top title/few lines of the contract that is in Korean but rather not (maybe the camp has sensitive information).

Any advice IMMENSELY appreciated!!
