Which bank in Saudi Arabia provides DD in CAD?

Which bank in Saudi Arabia provides DD in CAD?

NCB and Bank Al-Jazira

 

[doubtingapplicant]

NCB and Bank Al-Jazira

Do we need account to get DD or liquid cash is enough?

 

[lawrence2007]

All the banks issue the DD in CAD. Check with the bank branch where you have your account. It should not be a problem.
For CAD DD, the amount should be in your account.

Re: Generic application Inquiry

Dear Dhaka2014,
When & What happened next once you submitted Schedule A form from age 18? I have also received the same query just now.

Correct.
Just wanted to add that London Visa office asks for the full history since your 18th birthday (not the last 10 years). I have submitted info for the last 10 years but they have asked me to submit Schedule A form with all history since 18th birthday. Below are the words from LVO email to me:

"-updated Schedule A forms for you and your spouse **questions 8 and 12 of the Schedule A form must be completed from age 18 and must not show any gaps in the dates. We are aware that the wording of these questions asks for details for the last 10 years, however, this office requires these questions to be completed from age 18. These forms may be downloaded from our website www.cic.gc.ca**"

By my knowledge and personal experience i found that SAAB and NCB are the only bank which issues DD in CAD$, but this is before 1 year.
Currently may be other banks are also issuing.
And Yes you must have a account in the bank prior. also you can take help from any of your friend or any other whom you know which have and account in that specif bank so u can issue a DD.

Hi dhakka i have read your few posts in forum congrats for your visa stamped.i have question to ask that i am also residing in ksa since 5 months i got job in ministry of health saudiarabia we just applied after reaching ksa actually my wife is principal applicant.Alhumdulilah we have got PER on 4th nov.Our country of origin is pakistan and visa office is london.i have couple of questions to ask.
1)do we need to submit pcc again becuase we have already submitted at time of application?
2)can my wife get medical done from pakistan because she is going to pakistan in dec?
3)where do we need to submit passports?and what is approx time to get visa issued after passport request?
4)my passport is with ministry so do they easily handover passport because i will not be leaving and iqama will be with me at the same time?
Thanks

Hi bro,
Thanks
Please find my reply below:
1) Which country PCC do you mean? I assume you have sent PCC from Pakistan, correct? normally PCCs are valid for 1 year, so most probably you won't need to send PCC again because your processing will be started before the old PCC expires. Unless your submitted PCC is issued long time ago.
Since you will be completing 6 months by the time your application will be processing, you will have to submit Saudi PCC.
2) Yes, anyone can do medical anywhere from the Panel Physician list. It is recommended that you both do the medical in the same week so that VO will get both of them ready at the same time.
3) Once processing is complete, you will be asked to send your passports to CHC Riyadh through VFS (detailed instructions will be sent to you from London by email). Usually it takes 5-7 days to get your passports back with visa.
4) You can ask your Government Relations department in the ministry to get your passport for that reason, it is a normal practice. Maybe they will ask you the reason, you can show them the email requesting the passport, or you can give them any other reason if you don't want to disclose that you are immigrating to Canada at this time.

Let me know if anything is unclear.

Wish you all the best.

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.

Hi there

Can anyone shed some light on my concern. I recently applied for FSW and regarding Background declaration form point no 6, last year I applied for a Canadian business visa to attend a 2-day meeting, my application was initially declined and when following week I appealed & reapplied I got the one. Now did I make a mistake by not ticking yes in Section 6.d or since I got the visa I rightly did not put a yes in place. Please share your views on the situation.

I even did not know about UCI on business visa stamp or initial refusal letter when I had my FSW application filled. What should I do now?

Kindly put the following in google search /2012/07/buddhist-priest-inadmissible-for-misrepresentation/

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.

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.

I didn't do anything like that (certify true translation), the translation office put their stamp in the translated page. No affidavit was done.
Please read the document checklist, it shows which documents you must send the originals (IELTS, ECA, etc), other than that, you can send a copy.
