Hi friends,
PCC from Saudi Arabia
This post might be helpful for all those who are planning to take PCC from Saudi Arabia.. I am just sharing my experience here , as i got the PCC last day...
Since I am an Indian, i went to Indian consualte (Jeddah) and enquire them about pcc and its procedures. They provide two forms which we have to fill up with one for LOCAL pcc and another for CANADA in the purpose column. Then each forms need to be attach with PP copy+Iqama copy+Visa page copy + 1 photograph. Hand over these 2 set of forms with original Passport to consulate and pay the fees (nearly Sr.400/- sr for two copies).
1) They will provide the no objection letter specifically mentioned as " CANADA" stamped by consulate general and same stamp will affix in passport also. 2) The second letter is the recommendation for us to the SP office. Here we have to do some more work as below ;
- Translate the English letter from consulate to Arabic ( Sr.75/-)
- Affix the stamp from chamber of commerce in Arabic letter ( Sr.25/)
- Go to Mofa (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and stamp from there too in same Arabic letter (Sr.35/-). The working hrs is till noon only, hence go early to be first in the queue.
- Go to the SP office / Police headquarters located in Al Television street behind the IDB ( Islamic Development Bank) headquarters. Give the original passport and mofa attested letter to the policeman, and he will take the finger print and inform us the date of delivery. Normally it will take 2 weeks from them to get the report.
- Once your delivery date is reached, collect the report from police
- Again translate it to English ( Sr.75/-) as Canadian officals need letter in English
- Again go to chamber of commerce and affix stamb on it ( Sr.25/-)
- Go back to consulate/embassy and submit this original report with one set photocopy and pay Sr.50/- as fee.
- After a while they will give the report back with Consular General . Without the consulate stamp, the letter is not valid to use for any official purpose outside Saudi Arabia.
Thus the process of PCC will be completed in saudi arabia.
All in all , you may have to spend Sr.700/- while completeing this process.
Congrats and good luck to all...
