Korean Immigration (and therefore the Consulates in Canada) previously accepted regular CRCs, but changed to only accepting CRCs with fingerprints starting April 1st, 2015.http://can-vancouver.mofa.go.kr/english/am/can-vancouver/visa/criminal/index.jsp

The website for the Korean Consulate in Toronto doesn't mention needing fingerprints at all.
On a side note, do you know if these expire? I have the same one marked Dec 2012, stamped by the embassy etc. I've used it for the first job (when I still lived in Canada) and the subsequent 3 jobs I've had here. Is it good forever? I've lived in Korea the entire time, if that helps.

Did you get your degree and CRC notarized at a Korean embassy, send your documents to Korea, receive your NOA, then go to the embassy again to get the visa issued?

I have sent all the necessary E-2 Visa documents to my recruiter in Korea. She is now saying that immigration will only accept a fingerprint check for my Visa Issuance Number. However, when I applied for a Visa in October 2015 I did not require this. I sent a standard RCMP check, the same I sent this time. I am from Ontario, btw. Is there anything I can say to my recruiter to avoid getting the fingerprint check? I have read over this thread and noticed that others have had the same experience. They only needed an RCMP check without fingerprints.So frustrating...
