A colleague of mine recently said it took about two weeks. So don't be in a rush. Also, you will probably get a notification of your passport before CIC is updated. This seems to be the case for almost everyone.

I would add a personal letter from your manager/supervisor, in addition to what you have mentioned above. The letter should contain ALL the requirements of an experience letter and signed by them.

That's only IF you have a US visa. If you don't, there is nothing to provide. Just continue like you said with the scans of your passports of your travel history in the past 10 years.

That is the purpose of the immigration visa, to enter Canada and land as a permanent resident. Do not worry that your work permit has expired. It is actually good that you left Canada as staying there with an expired work permit would not be good. But that depends on when you received your PR...

Just curious, has anyone submitted their passports to VFS Saudi recently (within the past month or so)? If so, how long has it been or how long did it take from passport submission to receiving them.

Yes, just email the Canadian embassy in KSA, not UAE. It starts from there. The rest of the steps mentioned are accurate.

My AOR was on November 20th. I was asked to provide additional documents in December (can't remember exact date but early December) and I am still in the process of obtaining one of them. How about yourself?

Yes to both questions, that is what I submitted and it will be enough. Also, bear in mind that they process hundreds, if not thousands, of applications from several countries so they are fully aware of the shortcomings or "standards" or "issues" within these locations. So far what I have seen...

In Saudi Arabia, they don't provide an affidavit. What they do instead is stamp that it is a certified translation and the stamp itself contains the certification number of the translation office, the name of the translation office and that's about it. They also bond the original document with...

Wow, that's insanely quick! And you mentioned that was back in September, hmmmm. I wonder what it is like right now. Nobody has been able to chime in for November or December, and January just started so it's too soon. Thanks for the info though. Congrats once again. Wish you all the best in...

Congratulations! Would you mind sharing with us how long it took from giving your passport in Riyadh to receiving the CoPR?

For those who might have the same question, or would like to know. Yes, if you reside in Saudi Arabia, you may submit your passports and other docs to CVAC. Unfortunately that is the only confirmation I have received. No timeline was provided as to how long this process takes, versus sending...

Yes you can, as long as you explain all of this in the LOE (Letter of Explanation). And you are correct, you would require a new once since you entered the country again. Also, try to include any kind of proof that you have requested the PCC so that you satisfy them that yes you are indeed...

Thanks for the reply Shahid, much appreciated. Do you know if everyone in the family is required to go to the VAC or can one person go and submit all passports etc?

Can anyone confirm that this is still acceptable i.e. submitting passports to Saudi VAC instead of Abu Dhabi Visa Office? Would appreciate it for future reference.

Hi, first of all you do not need to double post the exact same post. Secondly, have you been requested for PCC? If not, then don't worry about it. Also, IF you are requested for the PCC, then you may explain exactly what you have written. CIC are human after all. Maybe you can contact the...

Has anyone gotten passport request (PPR) from Abu Dhabi Visa Office (ADVO)? If so, did you submit your passports in Saudi (Riyadh/Jeddah/Khobar) to the VAC or did you courier them to ADVO? I am asking for a recent update because it seems it worked in the past (2013-2015), i.e. submitting to...

Guys, I have a quick question regarding the PPR from ADVO. I see some Saudi based residents have said they've submitted the requested documents (copy of the letter, passport, two passport photos) to VFS in Saudi and have NOT sent them directly to Abu Dhabi via courier (Aramex). The Saudi VFS is...
