If you don't have any 'work experience', you may not qualify as a skilled immigrant. For 'skilled immigrant', you need to have work experience as an employee. Since you are a businessman, did you try to look at the 'investor category'? Looks like u are in the wrong forum cos everyone here is...

You have the answer in the question itself. If your iqama (Resident visa) is transferable, then go ahead and transfer it first. Your situation may not be the cause for rejection per se, because you are not illegally staying in Saudi Arabia. But if your iqama contains one company as a sponsor and...

The transfer is neither good news nor bad news. If you have received their response as "this is done in order to expedite processing", then take it as good news. You will have to update all your documents because they are more than four years old. For example, IELTS results older than one year...

I don't really agree with your statement "Immigration Expert'. I have gone through the immigration processes and procedures of Canada, UK, New Zealand and Australia. Canada's immigration process is by far the simplest, if you read the instructions properly and use your common sense. Almost...

DO NOT send originals of any educational documents. Certified copies are required and it should be certified in the way they have given in EG7. To my knowledge, sending copies of docs in a sealed envelope is not required. But its better if you can get a second opinion.

What is mentioned in the application guide is, the copies should have the sentence: "I certify that this is a true copy of the original document'' What I did was, I prepared a rubber stamp myself with the above statement and then stamped the documents myself in front of the Notary.

I'm glad to be of help but for your second question, actually I have no idea at all. Perhaps u can post it as a seperate thread and somebody else might help u. However, if you have any questions about the standard processes, you can ask me cos I have gone thru the application guidelines at...
