you need a letter from CIC to get PCC from saudi
I’m from Saudi. What I did, I went to the US consulate and reuqested a PCC facilitation letter. They issued me one within minutes. Then I went to MOFA to get it attested, after, take it to fingerprinting office. Waited 2 weeks, then got it attested again by MOFA. Next, I had to get translated and certified. Finally, went to US consulate and got it notarized. Entire process took like a month
Oh if you’re wondering. I emailed The Canadian embassy in Riyadh and they wrote me to wait it out. My representative kept stresssig it was important to get PCC upfront. Better than wait a month to get it once while waiting for CIC letter
If you’re still in Saudi under Iqama. You can go to your country’s embassy to request the PCC facilitation letter
Hope this helps
Cheers
