Where to do medical in Riyadh and how much it costs?

Thanks in advance.
We did our medical in Woroud Center because they finish everything for you in one day and you can go anytime. As for Habib center, you have to go twice and on specific dates. Moreover, Dr. Sameh is very pleasant physician.

It took us 2.5 hours to finish everything.

Fees are as follows:
PA: 950
Spouse: 600
children: it ranges from 200 to 400 based on the age of the child. For me I paid 200 for my 2 years old son, 300 for my 10 years old daughter, and 400 for my 12 and 13 years old daughters

dear caso,

i guess you came to saudi arabia on visit visa thats why you dont have a visa stamped on your passport, in that case, you can ask your employer to issue a employment contract copy OR a employment certificate stating that you have worked for one year in ksa, the letter should clearly mention the duration of your stay in saudi with proper dates, and also take photo copies of your passport pages where you have exit and entry stamp from the saudi immigration. submit this documents with all your other required docs to satisfy LVO. they will also ask for PCC from saudi but you have to explain in a plain letter that its not possible to submit pcc from saudi if somebody left saudi soil, its issued only at the time of residing in ksa.

Also , if i send copies of stamps of exitand entry, do they need translation ? ( they are arabic only and with hijri months )
At the end i really really thank you foryour quick help , You are the best :)

thanks mate, no need for the translation of visa stamp from your passport but make sure to collect the necessary documents from your employers as i mentioned earlier as it is more important to prove that you worked for a company. best of luck.

dear caso,

you dont have to worry about three months visit/business visa that you had earlier, explain in a simple letter that you had three months visa but it was extended up to 1 yr and they will except it.

In regards to your documents, yes, you do have to get your certificate attested from Chamber of Commerce. but don't attest to all the papers, e.g. employment agreement (may be it will be 4/5 pages), rather ONLY attest the single page employment certificate. that should be enough. best of luck.

Do you have any experience using FedEx couier services in Saudia for sending passports to LVO & how LVO send passports back to Saudi? Do I have to visit personally to Canadian embassy riyad and collect them personally?

Kindly advice as I have to dispatch my passports within this week.

Thank you in advance for your advices.!!!!
