Obtained Korean PCC via askkorealaw.com, fees 300USD per person. I got the PCC on signing a form that it will be for personal verification only. Also, obtained a legal document stating the articles that makes it illegal to submit to any 3rd party. Fees for a legal document, 250 USD.

Hi

Hi everyone,

Today I got my landing letter - PR approved a week ago.

I submitted the free Criminal Record Check that I got from my local Korean Consulate (in Vancouver).

I also submitted emails from the Korean Police Agency, the Korean Foreign Office, the Korean consulate in Toronto - all stating that the document requested was no longer being issued by the Korean Police Agency. I also submitted emails forwarded to me from other people on this forum and elsewhere who had been officially informed that the document was no longer available. Thank you to all those who helped me in this way.

I am happy to forward any of the emails I received from official sources. It may make a difference that I am NOT KOREAN and do not live in Korea. Still, if I can help anyone through this bit of dodgy legislation, I will.

Thanks again for all your help and support.

Can you please forward those emails to me? josephmanjila@gmail.com

We got through this

On our original application I included the police record check we are allowed to use (without lapsed records) and a note explaining that the one they are asking for is not available.

The application was processed and we got AOR, but a few months later we received an email from IRCC that the police record was missing, and to send it or an explanation why we can't.

We phoned the Korean consulate and they emailed us a document confirming the facts.

Using the web form linked in the letter, we sent another note explaining about the police record, included the document from the consulate, and mentioned again that we had submitted a standard police check with our application.

We received OWP and SA about one week later so I think that finally worked.

Can confirm a similar experience. In my case, in included emails from the Korean national police agency, Korean embassy in Toronto and Canadian embassy in Seoul. The first two stated that it was not possible to get be document with lapsed records. The Canadian embassy suggested I submit the standard police certificate along with an explanation letter and supporting documents (I used all three emails). I was never asked for another Korean police certificate and have made it to pre-arrival stage, so it seems the officer was satisfied with the proof I provided.

When ii doubt, get things in writing from police agencies, embassies/consulates to support what you are saying in your explanation letters!

Can now confirm I've made it to passport request stage by providing the standard Korean police certificate and the supporting documentation mentioned above (just emails and cover letter explaining lapsed records certificate is illegal to obtain). I was never asked about this at any point in the process. Maybe I got lucky, but I think it's because I provided suitable explanation of the situation along with proof to back it up.

Hi, congratulations on your approval! I'm struggling on the same matter. Do you mind sending me maybe a template of the cover letter/explanation so I can defend mine too? I'm really eager to get my application approved as I'm starting school very soon and I'm afraid this can further delay it. thanks a lot! really appreciate it. sone1294@gmail.com

I am full with frustration right now. I submitted my application for PR in August and I got a letter today saying that my application has been cancel because I didn't submit korean police certificate with lapsed record. And worst part is my provincial nominee certificate expires in January. I don't know what to do now.

I am so happy for you. Can you please send me the letters you received from those authorities? I would greatly appreciate it! My email address is nkongberti2@yahoo.com.
