Hi Rizwan,

I think I submitted it around 31st dec 2014 and received it back by 14th Jan 2015. Once you get the message or email then you can go and collect it.

Secondly, as you said you have already worked on flight so which is the good option. Is there a way I can avoid multiple stop overs as there is a chance I may loose luggage?

how about any other air line like turkish?

I want to avoid transit Visas and luggage being lost, and my budget is max 10,000 SAR for two persons, so what do you recommend?

As I will be going on final exit from KSA and will be flying from pakistan, any suggestion you can provide regarding official documents or any thing I should get before going on exit as I want to avoid a situation where I get stuck up in pakistan and can not fly for Canada.

and yes, Good luck to you too bro.

InshaAllah Allah asanai kare hum sab k liye and make it good for us! Ameen!
As per my information, Final Exit is more than enough for you. Just get the clearance letter from your bank and withdraw all cash and also take a letter from ur company, your experience letter which will definitely help u find job in canada.

As far as flight is concerned, bro, believe me don't go for multiple aurline connections. I would personally recommend KLM as my friend is also going on it in April and i am also looking to get some good deal then immediately i will purchase, but my friend will be travelling from Dammam.

Why i am saying KLM, coz u will get one ticket from KLM and as KLM has inter connectivity with KLM, so its all will be managed by KLM and Etihad Airways and you would need to take tension. Same is the case with Turkish, it will take u till toronto or till montreal and then ur inter canada flyt will be via west jet or air canada but your baggage will be coming to you at final destination.

Similar wud be with KLM, as you shud be getting all boarding passes from Pak, if not then you might get it from abu dhabi, both boarding passes. But as far as baggage is concerned, as you are not taking it from a third party, its a company provided ticket, which is KLM, one airline is owing it so you don't need to worry.

Rest, this is all theory, seniors might help us in this who have personal experience on travelling via KLM from Pakistan till Calgary or till Toronto. Do they require to collect baggage from Abu dhabi to submit it to KLM Counter? They were given boarding passes of all 3 flights in Pakistan or they get only one? and rest 2 from Abu Dhabi Airport?

Please confirm anyone who has personal experience...

If your wife is outside KSA then contact the Embassy of Saudi in your country and they will guide you to get the PCC. If she is staying in KSA, then approach any police station with arabic letter issued from Visa office duly stamped by MOFA

Validity of PCC is one year only

Hi Folks,

Congrats to those who got updates/visas.

I live in Riyadh and got back our passports/COPRs through VFS Riyadh 4 months ago. At that time we were expecting a baby and therefore, planned to have the baby in Riyadh and land in Canada post delivery. Alhamdulillah everything went fine and now I have submitted documents of our baby to LVO.

As a rule, if family composition changes before landing one has to return all the passports/COPRs (for those who already got visas) in order to get it stamped again.

LVO just states in their email that I need to return passport and copr of myself and wife to abu dhabi. They did not mention whether I send it through VFS Riyadh or send it directly to Canadian Embassy Abu Dhabi through fedex/dhl.

How shall I return our passports and coprs? pls advise

Thanks in advance.

If you are in PER stage, then I believe it would better if you renew your passports because it might take LVO at least 10-12 months before they ask for your passports.

This is my opinion only.

sharedknowledge,

May i know how you have calculated 10--12 months time needed after PER for VO to ask passport.

From last 3 months on this forum, keenly watching forumites development, in my opinion whole process will need avg 8-9 months.

Right from Application rcvd till visa stamping...

I referred to my own timeline. However, since you have taken a large sample, then probably your estimate is better. In any case, they are very close.

Hello PPL,

I live in Riyadh, but have been asked to submit passport to New Delhi via VFS
