tourist visa

[n_142007]

I need help please
I am a pharmacist applying for tourist visa along with my wife (she is a pharmacist too) to enter the qualifying pharmacist exam. & I have the following questions:

1- is the exam reservation will help as a reason for going or it is better to relay on tourism cause only.

2-I got a transit visa to Saudi Arabia 2 years before it was for 3 days but we stayed 10 days duo to bus accident, during this period we have residency visa for U.A.E & still we have it . (no reason to escape inside s.a.) (i don't have a proof for the accident ), also 3 years before I Traveled to France & Holland & returned on time. is this Saudi trip will cause a problem.

thanks in advance.

Hi,

It's difficult to say whether or not your KSA overstay will affect your Canada TRV. Without any proofs of genuine reasons (bus accident) to support your claim, it's just your word/explanation.


A KSA transit visa is issued for 72 hours max..... one must leave the country within these 72 hours.

How did you leave airport security/immigration check areas so that you remained in KSA for 10 days?
Were you ordered to leave or escorted at the end of your 10 days stay?
Did you apply for another KSA visa after this transit?
The KSA exit stamp in your passport (although in Arabic) will show you overstayed the 3 days transit visa issued to you


Your Schengen visa (France and Holland) may help for your Canada TRV. However, these Europe trips were prior to your Saudi overstay.... have you traveled abroad/been issued visas after this?


Cheers
