Hi navdeep36,

I am not sure about if people sending the translated PCC directly to LVO without MOFA. As everyone told me here at KSA to get the translated copy attesed by MOFA and then send it and the same was told by authorized translator who did the translation. so if someone wants to take a shot, he may send it directly but I didn't want to risk my efforts for one last step so I got the translated copy attested by MOFA and then I sent it..

Good luck and best wishes!
Actually i sent my Iqama copy just translated only not stamped from MOFA & that was accepted also.

on CIC website nowhere mentioned that it must be attested from MOFA.
Anyways i will goto MOFA and get my PCC attestated to avoid any risk.

Has anyone for lvo been able to get a pcc request letter by email riyadhvisa @international.gc
I tried it but they refused saying that they will not issue request letters to lvo applicants and that we will have to wait for the pcc request email from lvo

You can get the same letter from your embassy, i got it from Pakistan embassy, attested it at MOFA, and went to the police station for PCC. i had sent my PCC along with the application form

Thought of applying gcms notes?
shahzad
I was thinking of the same but instead i have sent one email for the status and i received reply that my file is currently undergoing routine background checks and soon it will complete, i will be notified of further steps.

I was expecting a little delay than others, as I was married after i have filed my application. I have sent my wife papers later on so i think, this may be the reason for delay.

Hi Rizwan,

Thanks for thumbs up... I hope you will receive it soon... but, seems to be kind of strange to me why LVO takes that much longer after 3rd ECAS line?

May I know which NOC you are?

Best Wishes and good luck
Yes, it is taking time. No idea why they take this time.

In my case, i have filed my family papers at a later stage, after almost 1.5 months of my case starting date in LVO.

I have applied under NOC 2243.

I've experienced the same and you need separate letters for each person. You might not need to go to Canadian embassy for these letters, please ask your home country embassy in Riyadh to issue you letters in Arabic for PCC issuance. Hope this serves your query.

Hi ash73,

You should not tell that your case is with LVO. You can write the eMail in a generic format and tell them that your FSW application is under process and you would like to get the Saudi PCC. You may try it again, may be from another mail-id.
