Congratulations & +1
Here is the process if u r inside KSA. You can get letter from your country's embassy, CIC letter will depend on performance of regular post between ur country of mailing address and VO, as it is sent through regular post.
Following are the words of a friend, who detailed the process for my convenience and i found it very helpful
I went to my country Embassy (Pakistan) and ask them to issue me a Introductory Letter (in Arabic) to the name of Riyadh Police (or city in which u reside)- Investigation Unit (in Arabic its named as "Adalla-al-Jana'iya").
This letter was on Embassy letterhead having seal and sign from the designated secretary. I took this same letter to Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and get it stamped at the price of 30 SR.
The same letter (which contains my PP and IQAMA #) now was ready to be submitted at Adalla-al-Jana'iya along with One Photograph / original PP and original IQAMA and their copies, one each)
I was standing there in que, and at my turn they took my things and made entry into computer and print it on hard paper, both sides (that was actually the PCC), now in another que they took my all ten finger impressions on the back side of same hard paper and staple one of my photograph on it.
and detach the lower portion of the card as receipt for me and asked me to come again after 4 days to get the PCC.
finally after 4 days (delivery date was printed on receipt) I collected the same hard paper printout which had my thumbs impression and photograph along with 6 or 7 stamps on it. (different departments verified and stamped on it).

In my personal opinion, u can actually get it by next day (half an hour before day end - they close at 3, just check with them)

Got the Medical Request + PCC ;D ;D
Question time now
How do we get a police certificate in Saudi Arabia.... more specifically do we need to get some special letter from CIC or can we use the generic letter that is available at the Canadian Embassy in Riyadh ?
Also how long does it take for the letter to arrive if CIC sends it ?
