Saudi Arabia based Applicant

bjazjbej,

It is in Dammam i cant give u exact location as im a uae resident.

Bus will depart from dammam some where at 8:00 pm in the night and it will take almost seven/eight hours to reach Abu Dhabi.

Distance is not an issue only thing at border depends on traffic things may delay, so better to come one day advanced.

From point of saptco in Abu Dhabi to Canadian Embassy is roughly 70-75 km.

Thanks,
Yameen

Thanks,

I THINK U SHOULD GO WITH UR CAR OR THROUGH RENT A CAR , WITH MY EXPERIENCE LAST MOMENT SAPTCO SAID UR IQAMA STATUS IS SOO SOO... BUT WHEN I GO DIRECLTLY THERE WAS NO ISSUE OF IQAMA ALHUMDULILLAH.

I am not familiar with the road so I am opting to go by Bus. My profession is Computer Engineer do you think I can avail the visa from the border?

I like to share my experience in pcc
I emailed the canadian counceil in riyadh that i need letters for qatarian and saudi arabian pcc
they answered after 3 days that they dont provide except for saudian ..i wrote another email that ok i need letters for saudian pcc only .....they answered me that either they will send it to me by courrier or to come and pick it up i emailed that i will come to pick it up and please add my name at the gate .

I gave them 3 days then went to the gate with my passport and the security at the gate had a file of ready made letters and gace me my copies ...i filled my name and my husbands ...our passport no
and went to the mofa to attestain it ...cost 30 riyals there and advicw they work from 8 to 2 so to find a pkace to park your car eithet to go very early or after 12:30 ...i went late it took only 20 min you need your iqama with you too
then next day we went to olaya police station they told us to go to head quarters in diyra ..
we went there it was crowded in male section but very easy at women section they told us to come back after 3 days to collect it

as for the qatarian pcc my husband send for one of his friends living in qatar to do it and it takes only a week then he will attest it from mofa there ...

 

[moamana82]

The saudian pcc is in arabic so i will translate it and the qatariann pcc is already in english

my question now should i attest the saudian translation from mofa too

my question now should i attest the saudian translation from mofa too

translation doesn't require any attestation since it has already been attested by approved translator. Hope that answers your question.
