Alright, so I haven't been able to find a solid answer about this anywhere. I have a 3 year BA from Canada. Does Korea give working visas to people with only a 3 year BA or do you need a 4 year BA??

I never had any problem getting a visa with a three-year BA.

As long as you have a Bachelors Degree from an acredited institution (Sprott Shaw College doesn't work) and the sealed transcripts to back it up you will be fine.

that is good to know. i needed some real examples of people going on 3 year BA's because i have heard rumors about people having to leave because they only had a 3 year, but that was from EPIK so maybe its just that program.
Thanks!

Does it actually say "3 year BA" on your degree? (I'm curious)

Brits have no problems and their degrees are 3 years.
