Hi,
I have applied under FSW in Auguat 2008 and have not got any reply till now. I was working on a project in Saudi Arabia for about a year in 2003. I hear that it is very difficult to get a PCC from Saudi. Please let me know if there are any ways by which I can get PCC for Saudi Arabia. I am currently working in US.
Regards
SPS
actually am in the same situation and i live currently in canada, i contacted the saudi embassy in ottawa in that regard and they said that they don't issue police clearance for former residents, and i emailed the canadian embassy in riyadh in that regard and they have sent me back the following email :
Dear Applicant,
Former residents of Saudi Arabia cannot obtain police certificates abroad. Only persons legally resident in Saudi Arabia can obtain such permits, a process which requires involvement of both the Embassy and the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Email: riyadh.visa@international.gc.ca
finally i have sent an email to the visa office responsible on processing my application explaining the problem to them, and they have sent me back the following email :
