Hi...
U need to do the following :-
1.Prepare a letter, (similar to LoE) mentioning his period of stay in Saudi and supporting documents like Final exit visa, Stamp on PP etc (if available). In this letter, add screen shot from the IRCC website as well... Upload this document in the placeholder for Saudi PCC.
2. Mention in the LoE (Client Information) that since u r out of KSA and u don't have legal res status... etc,(use same words in IRCC website ), u are attaching an explanation letter in place of Saudi PCC..

This worked for me and I got PR
Hope it helps
Thanks
That’s great, thanks for the feedback. Would you mind sending the sample letter you prepared as a LOE as a private message here?

Just get a PCC made it will cover all duration of your stay in Saudi , Saudi PCC do not have duration of stay and they only mention the current date

Thank you for your response. How sure are you that i will not be required to submit 2 PCC for 2 different Iqamas ?
My second question is related to the EE profile and the forms, what should i fill in the residential details?

Iqama numbers are not required for EE, your passport number should reflect that it is your PCC.
Saudia have a centralized police system, even if you have lived in different cities ONE PCC will be sufficient.
For residential details, just mention the truth.

I stayed in Saudi Arabia for more than 6 months and I didn't upload my Saudi PCC. This was because CIC clearly said on their website that if you are currently non-resident of Saudi Arabia, you don't need a PCC from there. I got the PR also and there was no review required condition against my Saudi PCC.
Assalamualaikum brother,

I lived in saudi for 15years and moved to india and now im in usa applying for PR.
I still have valid iqama until 2021.
Do i still need to get the PCC from saudi?

Hi Syed
Did you exclude the days you spent in KSA in your Pakistan PCC?
Moreover, did you cover the short visits, if any, made to Pakistan during the time spent in KSA in your Pakistan PCC?

Dear Members,

I stayed in Saudi Arabia for a period of 2 years, but forgot to obtain PCC before leaving KSA in April 2018.
I submitted Express Entry application in Sept 2018 without Saudi PCC, even though system asked for uploading it. I attached a Letter of Explanation instead of Saudi PCC.
It has been 4 months since I submitted my profile.
When I obtained GCMS notes, it is mentioned that "Review Required" against Saudi PCC.

Anybody were in similar situation before ?
Anybody who didn't submit Saudi PCC (even though stayed for more than 60 days in KSA), got PPR ??

Appreciate your comments

Thanks
HI, i just want to ask did your application went through? Did they accept your LOE?
Secondly, I have a question i lived in Saudi Arabia from Aug 2016 to Jan 2020 for my Pakistani PCC shall i have to obtain two PCC period covering from my date of birth to July 2016 and 2nd PCC from Feb 2020 or do i need to have one PCC which is covering my entire stay in Pakistan. Need your advice on this.

I am going to submit my PR application very soon and therefore I have required to submit Saudi Police Clearance Certificate. I lived in ksa for more than six months and I had a final exit in the period of 2014 and since than I never visited. I have contacted Pakistani Embassy in Jeddah to see if they assist me, they replied and asked me to submit some documents with attestation and therefore it might take several weeks to finish the process. So in case if I didn't get it could I submit letter of explanation for what IRCC told us.

Hello,

Although they clearly mention that we don't require police clearance certificate but can we apply and see if we get it from Saudi authorities.

Hi
Canada Immigration just ask for my husband to provide a PCC from K.S.A.
He worked ther for 4 years
and we are apparently gathering requirements so we can get PCC from K.S.A.
It is Possible but it's a long and stressful process.
Im just wondering as to why would Canada Immigration ask for PCC from Saudi Arabia (K.S.A.)
while it is in their website says
If you do not have current legal residence status in Saudi Arabia, you are not required to provide a Saudi Arabian police certificate. If you are asked for a police certificate from Saudi Arabia, write: “I cannot provide a police certificate for the time I spent in Saudi Arabia because certificates are only available to people who have current legal residence status.”
