Saudi Arabia based Applicant

[Elkanzy]

Opening a new account will take time. It would be better to take help from a friend who has account in NCB, RIYAD BANK or SAMBA etc. He can obtain the draft from his account and you can send that to CIC.

you are correct lawrence but unforunately i dont have such a friend .. what's really bad that Alrajhi is not issuing these ceques any more.. and the the customer service in SABB told me that paying throgh credit card will not be acceptable ( of course im not sure of PF what he says) but that added to my uncertainity of paying throgh credit card ..

i wonder if creating account in NCB needs alotta time

My suggestion is to go for CC if you have one from any Saudi Bank.
I used NCB CC twice for both payments and Alhamdulillah it went through.

URGENT HELP Please ,

Dear Fellow saudi applicants..

I decided to avoid the risk of paying through credit card , so i went for issuing a demand draft from SABB which i hv an account there , But strangely , for 2 consecutive days the bank's system is unable to issue the cheque in $ CAD from 2 different branches .. as u know the Cap limit is reaching , and my App. is ready to be sent , but i'm unable to pay the Fees ..
My question is : Can i issue the DD from telemoney or speed cash ? and what are the other options that the expert members would recommend except for paying by credit card ...
your kind feedback would be truly helpful.

Thanks ..

Brother,
Don't waste more time searching for DD issuers, cap is being filled and every single day counts. If all of your other papers are ready then go with CC. I have used my SABB credit card and transaction was done without any issues. SABB customer service guy doesn't know anything, any credit card issued by Saudi bank works with all foreign transactions.

Just one caution, if you apply use a credit card, just keep that card in a secured place at home or somewhere safe, don't put it in your wallet to avoid losing it and then you will be totally hopeless. It happened with many applicants, their card got stolen and they had to block it, and obviously CIC couldn't process the transaction.

Carry another credit card for your daily use.

It's definitely not permanent residence. Therefore it should be 'Worker'

Dear friends,

Does anyone know how to get exit/entry report from Saudi if you already left the country? I have final exit visa papers with me. Would that be enough or need to get further MOI/Jawazat report? This is in context to the documents required at the time of citizenship interview.

Thanks

Re: Generic application Inquiry

Hello Brother
As you predicted I have received MR, PCC and RPRF request. Can you suggest any physician in Dammam-Khobar region for medical?

Hi bro,
They have asked me to do medicals, pay RPRF, send PCC, and updated Schedule A forms for myself and spouse. I sent RPRF and Updated forms by email, PCC by DHL, and medical reports were uploaded by eMedical system. I got passport request 5 days after the medicals were received by LVO (3rd Line in ECAS).

So now prepare for the requested documents and medicals.. Best wishes.

If you are required to submit the true-copy-of-original then you can ask the translator whether his translation can be stamped by Chamber of Commerce (COC) or not. . Some translator have registration with COC and any translation thru them you can take to COC. COC will verify the signature and stamp the translation with some fee. You must submit the "original Translation" to CIC with photocopy of original document.

Hi Saudiites,

Nice to see this forum.
I'm still suffering with the attestations of translated documents.
I got the documents not in English translated but cant get anybody to certify them as a-true-copy-of-original, any advice??!!
I am also not sure about sending these the original copy of translated documents or should I have further copied than attested as true copy and send?
Please advice ASAP.

Congrats bro.
There is only one clinic to do Medicals in the eastern province. It's Dar Al Afia. Opposite to Dammam Extra. Just call them and book an appointment. When I called them, the first available appointment was 10 days later. So book appointment immediately.
Their fees are 1300 SAR for adults and 600 for kids.

Just take the medical request form. Passport size photos. And copy of passports.
You will have to fill some forms there. It's very simple and straightforward process.
Best of luck.

To get a Saudi Police Clearance certificate, you first need the stamped letter from Canadian High Commission or LVO. Please read the below 2 threads and you will have a clear understanding.

And don't worry, Saudi PCC takes 6-7 days if you go to a police headquarter (not the small branch offices which may take 14-20 days). It took exactly 7 days for me in Dammam.

Hi bro
First let me know what's ur status? Did you received any communication from visa office? If yes then send them email/updated form to let them know your new address. If you just received PER and nothing after that then no need to do anything. Address change info should be shared with local visa office not with CIC Nova Scotia.
But make sure that your email address is active. LVO will contact you by email.
As far as I have seen. Exact Postal address doesn't matter as there is nothing LVO will send you by post (except PCC letter which you can get it easily by contacting CHC Riyadh or Jeddah.
