Qorax / PMM / Leon / FMA / / Biju / Seniors,

I noticed something while rummaging through my immi document file. Saw the label which came with the medical, RPRF and PCC request back in Sept 2010 and remembered that I had actually typed the envelop with the RPRF bank draft, PCC etc. Never pasted the label. And thanks to this forumm I now realise that the label also has the INITIALS of my immigration officer. The initials are CKL hand written on the printed label. Surely this must have created some delays as the package wouldn't have reached the (my) immi officer's desk directly. Sad mistake in hind sight. It was received on Oct 17.

Question - What issues might it create and is there any point in informing London about the same now?

Cheers
Nav

@CN Tower,

There is one photo studio opposite Al Ghurair City, Deira-Dubai (Union Metro Stn side) next to the corner Shop called 'Iranian Sweets' managed by a Catholic family. Just tell them that you need the photos for Canadian immigration. They will properly handle the needful. I did'nt face any probs, with them.


Frame Width 35 mm (1 3/8”) Min. Frame Height 45 mm (1 3/4”)
Min. Face Height 31 mm (1 1/4”) Max. Face Height 36 mm (1 7/16”) Actual Size
» PHOTOGRAPH Specifications
The face must be square to the camera with a neutral expression,
neither frowning nor smiling, with the mouth closed.

Best Wishes,

Bestpal

Hi Mr Khan...Im experiencing the same situation with you now...CIC is requiring me to provide a PCC from saudi,my family did medical last Aug...I already wrote a letter stating that it's impossible for me to get it here Dubai...They replied and told me that i's only possible to get the PCC in Saudi embassy in Abu Dhabi, so i went there to submit again the application but they said that they never give anyone such kind of certificate.. Im totally confused on what to do now..my medical is near to expire, im just worried that if i will not be able to provide this requirement my application to canada will be denied...

I believe the Saudi govt only issues PCC to their current resident not to those that are not living in their country, no more. I, for the fact, also stayed in KSA for 3 years and also thinking what if CIC request for that PCC again because I already given them a writtten explanation about that PCC.

I have gone through the same situation. Applied PCC in Saudi Consulate in dubai. Till now I dint receive the PCC. However, I wrote email to Canadian Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia explaining my situation. They confirmed through email that getting PCC from Saudi Arabia is not possible. The same mail I forwarded to CHC london office and asked them to waive PCC request from Saudi Arabia. They waived Saudi PCC request. Received PPR and sent passport for stamping.

The Saudi PCC fiasco

It's well known that Saudi Arabia doesn't issue PCCs anymore to their erstwhile residents. There's no way to obtain that. And it's also opined that CIC is aware of it - yet continue to ask for it - probably a delay tactics. As such, all affected applicants must intimate the same, in advance, to their VOs -- possibly with a copy of the above email obtained by him/her from the same sources.

@sword
Brother, u'd do a great service to the fraternity here if u could post the exact contents of that email. Others may copy-paste that msg & include the same in their letter to their VOs, for obtaining a "waiver" from this headache.

Thanks in advance Buddy!

Dear Biju,

i have applied under accountant category in Sep 09, As u know accountants are no more in category or quota of 1000 accountants per year whatsoever.

my question is , Are they processing accountants applications these days or they have kept application on hold b.c quota for accountants is already over in year 2010 ?

Thanks
