Hello, I completed a two-year post secondary program. I completed the first half of my program through online learning and the second half through hybrid (online and in-person) learning. What should be the answer to the question "Did [applicant's name] complete at least 50% of the study or...

Hi. The translator who made the translation of my iqamah is the one who authenticated it. I didn't make it authenticated by the Chamber of Commerce.

Hi. I had mine authenticated by Chamber of Commerce but I am not sure if the visa office will accept it if it is not authenticated. I think it will be safer if it is authenticated.

Hi. Sorry. I have no knowledge about the open work permit. Only study permit.

I don't know if 1 week is too soon but because fall semester will begin in a few weeks, I think it's better to follow up with them as soon as possible to be able to do the other tasks after, hopefully, it has been approved.

If you plan to travel to Canada for the fall semester, then I think you should follow up with the visa office at the Canadian embassy in Riyadh. I think you can inform them that you are trying to catch the fall semester and that's why you need the result sooner than the normal processing time...

Hello, I submitted my application in February and got a result and received my visa a month after. When did you submit your application?

Hi. I don't think you should overthink it. If they require it, then just provide it. I believe the visa office that's processing your application is the one in the Canadian Embassy in Riyadh. Just like mine. Maybe they couldn't verify bank documents outside of Saudi Arabia so they are looking...

Hello. Whose KSA bank account are they asking for? Yours or you parents'? Why are they asking for it and why wouldn't you want to provide it?

I see. I think you're almost done. I only showed the confirmation deposit as well so I think you'll be fine. I was actually looking for a companion going to Canada but sadly, I will be studying in Toronto. I've already asked a few but no one I know is going Toronto. Anyway, I hope your...

Hi. Yes, I submitted an Employment Certificate certified by Saudi Chamber of Commerce. It was all online processed by my employer. I understand that you don't want them to know that you're planning to leave, but unfortunately, you'll have to ask your employer or your HR for the certificate. I...

You're welcome. Mine took a little more than a month. Good luck!

Hello. Yes my application has been approved. I didn't submit an exit-reentry visa document. I did explain in my Study Plan letter why I couldn't provide one. The exit-reentry document is only given to employees when they will leave and return back to Saudi Arabia, which in my case, I don't...

Hello. Are there any incoming students from Saudi Arabia who will be studying in Toronto in September? Let's connect. Thank you.

Hi. I think two weeks is still early to ask the embassy for an update. I was feeling the same way. I was eager to know the result. A 1 month wait is enough I think which is what I did. Be prepared though to have a legitimate reason when you ask for a follow up. Good luck.

I sent a follow up on the email provided here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/offices/international-visa-offices/riyadh.html. I didn't use a web form. I believe the embassy have closed already or will close at 5 o'clock. May I know when's your...

Are you currently living in Saudi Arabia?

Hello Abidrehmat. I also waited for a month and no update. I sent an email to the Canadian embassy in Riyadh for a follow up and then they approved it 20 minutes later. You should probably try it. As long as you have a legitimate reason.

Hello. Sorry to hear that. Fortunately, I got my Study Permit application approved last week. My program is also for 2 years. I was only able to show at least the 1st year school fees + 2 years cost of living. Because I currently work and that there is a Co-Op/Internship in my program, I...

Hi. I'm not really sure if it's a must but I did submit one just to be done with it. Applicants from Saudi Arabia who I know also submitted one, so that's what I also did.
