How much is their (Rajhi Al Taweel) service charge?
Which bank do you operate your account with in KSA ? You can do the transaction from your bank ,they will just transfer your money from your Saudi account to your account in Canada with minimal service charge of say 70 or 75 SR. I know of services with Alinma and Samba banks. Check your bank through their customer services first.
thanks talk2meals, TAR have no service charges, atleast this is what they say. My bank in NCB, will check if they can do it. I had made DDs from them couple of times and found out that their rate was not as good as TARs.

yes you are right, thats what the instruction i get from LVO while doing MR from khobor, they have only one doctor from Jeddah, strange as it is, as a big city, they should have assigned more than one from jeddah. anyways, get early appointment and get done with MR, best of luck.

Hello there

there is still few of us who are unfortunate and waiting,as u can see I have applied in May 2010 started processing in April 2012,file transferred to Paris VO in Apr 2013 and they asked for medicals that was done on Apr 22,2013 and medical recived line seen on May 10 2013 since then we were stuck by the Strike and every communication they replied that BG check is on going then 2 month ago they said that my file is back to London VO .Upon contact with London VO they reply that my file is waiting Officer review ,last month I reminded them that my medicals will expire in 1 month time and we are ready to move in short notice but twice they asnwered the same your file is waiting for review.

Now medicals expired and on 23/4/14 same reply again ,feels frustrated to see all the new file processed quickly and faster while we are still stuck ,happy for everyone who gets his visa and praying for those who did not ,but really 4 years of waiting is killing us .

guys wha is your opinion will they extend medicals or if not when they will send remedicals?

Do you think the Corona Virus issue in Saudiarabia will delay the remedicals since I am currently residing in Jeddah?

PPR 1 and 2 is for PAK based applicants, you will only get PPR soon and if they did not ask for PCC then they will if you stayed in ksa for more than 6 months, they will ask it before PPR.

you can find plenty of translators behind al khobar passport office(it is on dhahran street) or in other words behind al issa souk mall you will get them. for lawyers, you can akrabia area to look for sign holdings mentioning law farms, one is locked at al mohammdia tower, the tower is next to SACO (at akrabia)

i think they will send you re-med request unless you are lucky to get an extending of your expired MR, and NO i dont think MARS will be a problem as far as MR goes.

Thank you Destinationcanada hope u get your ppr soon ,the funny thing that I am well prepared for every thing,funds ,kids certificates and immunization record ,job contract still needs 15 days before automatically renewed so if they send now it will be great ,even my job is regulated and almost done with registeration in Toronto and I clearly expressed this to VO I do not know what they r waiting for indeed .
I can book a flight sell my car and furniture and resign in a month time yet I do not trust them anymore until visas are stamped ,the only good thing if we get now that winter is almost over and in a month time the weather will be nice to settle in toronto

regards

i will suggest you to send a CSI to LVO so that they looks into your file immediately and response, this happened to my buddy yesterday, he got PPR just after three days of sending CSI. best of luck.
