People who live/have lived in KSA. I've received an ITA and now collecting my paperwork. I have actually left Saudi but have kept my residency so I go back and forth. As I understood from the IRCC website, that means I need to get a police certificate. My issue is, I'm so confused on where/how I'm supposed to get the request letter for it (you can't just request one from the Police there). I've contacted the Canadian embassy they said it's not them and I read vaguely somewhere that IRCC will 'MAIL' me the letter, I'm worried this will take ages considering the mail system here. Anyone know what to do about this? or has been in a similar situation?

If you are referring to the above link, the "mail" here means email or a message in your MyCIC account.
what is your citizenship my friend? you should contact your designated embassy and ask them like an endorsement letter that u need a police certificate.they will give u one then go to police station. and go back to your embassy to get it translated to english from arabic
Which city do you live you in? Yes, you must have that letter from the CIC and take that letter to your local “Criminal Evidence Department” as they are th ones who will issue the pcc
Thanks for this! Are you sure about this? if so it's great news cause I've already emailed the Riyadh/AbuDhabi through the form online, hopefully that means they will send me a request letter in a few days. Have you done this?
It's a messy situation.. I used to live in Jeddah, now moved to Dubai bit have kept my residency in KSA and travel back and forth thats why I think I still need to get the certificate. I'll be applying for it from jeddah
Does the embassy request need to be from the same city? I'm Syrian and the embassy doesn't work in KSA anymore, do you think itll work if i get it from DUbai?
Find out what they call “Criminal Evidence Department” in Arabic and ask anyone you know in Jeddah to find out where it’s located or have a friend go there and ask them what needs to be done in order to get the pcc and am sure things would be clearer then.
Oh my friend you have some work to do ... My wife did it last month ...
First, submit a request in the IRCC Webform stating your visa office and application number (attaching your ITA is not a bad idea).
IRCC Webform:
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=abu dhabi&_ga=2.165845822.1019248409.1520081556-684320890.1508881163
Next, they will contact you by email confirming that your name was added to the gate and to take the PCC request from the Canadian Embassy.
You will have to attest this letter from the ministry of foreign affairs before actually going and requesting the PCC.
Any other information of where to go will be provided in the embassy.
If you are an energetic person, you can finish this entire task in one day (similar to what we did). Best of luck and contact me if you need something else ...

Hi. Can I know how long until your wife received the request form since she email in the IRCC website. Because they give me 1month only to complete the requirements. Im afraid they will not response immediately.
Hey! I remember it was around three weeks after PR application. After that, everything was ready in the same day (including translating these police documents).
Hi everyone:
I just want to ask for help i hope that you can give me advise or suggestions i once worked in saudi arabia and now im applying for canada and i really need a police clearance and i don't know what to do..some forums saying that just tell the embassy that you are not allowed to get a police clearance because you are no longer residence of saudi arabia.. and other forums saying that, they got their saudi police clearance but they came from different country like abudabhi and they follow this kind of form IRCC and a link to it.

Hello everyone! I just have a quick question, my PR application is under process and we received a letter requesting the Saudi police clearance certificate. My husband and I reside in Jeddah and have already applied for the certificate. However, the letter received from CIC stated to upload the police clearance on the portal once ready but my account is showing no tab to upload it. Did anyone face a similar issue? How did you submit the certificate? I just sent in an enquiry via IRCC webform and am wondering in the meantime, if any of you have had a similar experience. Thank you
