Canadian Police Clearance Certificate for Teaching in Korea

Teaching English in Korea is an exciting opportunity, but it often requires specific documentation, including a Canadian Police Clearance Certificate (CPIC) also known as a criminal record check. This certificate is essential for securing work visas and meeting employment requirements, especially in education. If you're in Korea or planning to move there, here’s how to quickly and easily obtain your CPIC online.

Why Teachers in Korea Need a CPIC Certificate

A Canadian Police Clearance Certificate verifies that you do not have a criminal record and is often required for:

  • E-2 work visa applications (Teaching English)
  • Employment background checks by schools and academies
  • Residency permits for long-term stays in Korea

Schools and employers in Korea prioritize trust and safety, making a CPIC certificate a crucial part of the hiring process for English teachers.

Step 4: Apostille Certification for Korea

Since Canada and Korea are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, your CPIC certificate does not require embassy legalization. Instead:

  1. It will be notarized by a Canadian notary to confirm its authenticity.
  2. It will then be apostilled by a designated authority, ensuring it is valid for use in Korea.

Step 5: Delivery to Korea or Anywhere Else

Your apostilled CPIC certificate will be securely shipped to your address in Korea or wherever in needs to go, ready to submit to your employer or visa application office.

Why Apostille Certification Simplifies the Process

Before the Hague Apostille Convention, CPIC certificates for Korea required legalization at the Korean embassy. Now, an apostille certification provides a streamlined solution, confirming the document’s authenticity for international use. This reduces processing time and eliminates unnecessary steps.

Additional Support for Teachers

If you also need other documents processed for teaching in Korea—such as degree certificates, TEFL certifications, or transcripts—Global Document Solutions can handle these alongside your CPIC certificate, ensuring you meet all E-2 visa requirements.
