Kang Chiao International School East China Campus (KCISEC)
“I waited ... and turned down another real school opportunity”
An applicant describes roughly two and a half months of uncertainty during KCISEC recruitment and work-permit arrangements. Believing the position was progressing, they prepared departure documents, rejected another opportunity and made family plans. They criticize unclear updates about approval and submission status.
- The writer acknowledges that school approvals, documents and government processing can cause delays, but says earlier clear communication would have allowed them to pursue alternatives.

From my side, this process took around two and a half months. During this time, I was under the impression that the school was seriously moving forward with my position and work permit application. Because of that, I waited, made plans around this opportunity, and turned down another real school opportunity.
For me, the problem was not only that the process took a long time. The bigger issue was that the communication did not give me enough certainty to protect myself. I was left waiting while believing the school was committed.
I understand recruitment and work permit applications can be complex. I understand schools may face internal approval, document issues, or government delays. However, if a school is not fully ready, I believe the teacher should be told clearly and early.
Fuller account from the same applicant already quoted on this page. The outcome of the work-permit application is not stated; replies ask whether it was rejected or delayed. The applicant acknowledges possible internal and government delays.
Comments
I don't get it. Did you never get a visa or did it just take time? What's the problem?
Worked for seven years at the Kunshan campus, it was a shitshow.
School or reporter?

Original summary of the available public account, with a short saved quotation. The allegation has not been independently verified.
The post does not clearly state whether a permit or job was ultimately obtained. Other commenters explicitly ask about that missing outcome. This is an applicant’s account, not a demonstrated permit refusal or finding of wrongdoing.
