I am moving to NS from Saudi Arabia in a few days!

I have to surrender my driver's license to my sponsor that I am working for. I'm residing in a country that is not my country of citizenship! Will they not verify my license somehow? Or is the onus on me to prove my driving experience?

Ok, thanks! Can you please share what the process was like in NS? What documents did you provide? I'm glad you didnt have to surrender your other license..!

what is class 5(R) license?

Even if he manages to renew his passport before the deadline, he will still need to inform CIC. The renewed passport and the old passport will have different numbers. The local VO will not be able to verify/match his records if CIC does not know about this. Renew, and inform CIC asap!

what an ignorant comment, to the say the least.

i am diabetic and i received PPR.

i managed to get a printout (which shows details of my current driver's license) from my country's traffic dept. but there's no letterhead. however, they did stamp the printout for me! will this be enough?

Regardless. The rule for Saudi Arabia specifically, is that of you live outside Saudi Arabia and no longer a resident, a PCC is not required. This is what it says on the CIC webiste: 'Certificates are available only to current legal residents. If you have current legal residence status in...

i didnt wait for CIC instructions. when i received the ITA, i sent an email to the Canadian embassy in Riyadh asking for an endorsement letter. Saudi Police will not issue a PCC without an endorsement letter from the Canadian Embassy. i then stamped that letter from the Ministry of Foreign...

Thank you all for your advice!! I will definately make use of your thoughts once I get there! One more question though regarding the driver's license. As I understand, I need a letter from the driving school/traffic in my current country of residence that will state the duration of my driving...

go back to your country then. the less of you in canada, the better!
