The Canadian embassy in Riyadh can help you in that... but they charge you per page... anyway, you need to call them in advance to make an oppointment as they don't accept walk-in visitors (except Canadians of course) and you can verify how much they charge ( I think they charge SR 70 per page ).

Hello Manvi Are you sure your job doesn't fall under NOC 1122? ... compare your job description with the NOC's one and if they're similar, you can apply.

Congartulations... 1000 Mabrook ;D Things are getting so exciting ..... good luck guys.

Thanks all for the tips... a friend also recommended Al-Salim office ...but they charged him SR 100 per page (well, it was a one page document anyway). :o I'm also concerned about the PCC thing.... do they mention in the Arabic letter that the PCC is needed for immigration purposes? or just a...

Hello everyone... I'm a local Saudi guy from Riyadh...and will apply in July 2011 once they reset the cap ( NOC 1122)... I'm worried about the whole process since my government doesn't support the citizens to apply for immigration and/or citizenship of other countries (except USA). I'd love...

Any suggestions, folks?

Actually each airline has it's own policy.... Since you guys have mentioned BA as an example, it allows only 1 checked piece for flights from London and within Europe. So it's better you compare some airlines before you choose the one. (and it's not only about ticket fare). Good luck!

Thank you Wilson...good tips! However, most of my documents are actually in English except my national ID and birth certificate...so translation is not a big deal..at least not for now!. I'm still wondering if I could do the attestation in Saudi Arabia (after all, better than Dubai)...which...

Hello everyone... After passing the IELTS , now it's time to collect all documents to have a solid application :D I have many documents that need to be notarized. However, I'm a Saudi and live in Saudi Arabia and I'd like to know where I can get them notarized? ... have any of you guys had a...

Congrats Charlotte...... a job at a luxury hotel?? wouldn't ask for more ( free shampoo and body lotion supplies) :P try to stick to this job for longer time just to show some loyalty in you CV unless you get a well-paid job in your field. I wish you all the best in your new challenge.

Hi Qorax... I have a question related to the second part of security/background check: I'm a Saudi citizen...and wondering if my government would know about my immigration application when CIC starts checking on my background....... would they contact the Saudi govt. in ordert to make sure I'm...

If you get a job there, please keep some shampoos and body lotions for me ;D ........... and if a bathrobe with Ritz logo, I'd love you for ever :P .... "je bent mijn vriend"

back to credit history again... :D ( sorry but banking is in my blood) they keep all resumes and records in their database.... so it's possible that they'll find you a job within a week, month or even 6 months (if not longer) so I guess they want to have an access to your credit history at...

Hey Charlotte... I think each country and/or company has their own rules when it comes to recruitment. I work at a bank here in Saudi Arabia and when they hired me, they did check my credit history (although they didn't ask for my permission!). Many employers here are now doing the same thing...

Hey CharlotteJ, Do you have any idea about rents range for studios ( modern in downtown) P.S: I sent ya a private message yesterday

Thanks Doc. :D but is it fine if the PCC is addressed to an organisation other than the CIC? even if it's less than 3 months old.

Very useful threads...and thanks everybody for your inputs. I have 3 questions: 1-for PCC, I live in Saudi Arabia and as per the instructions, I don't have to send it along with my initial application to CIO until I receive a request letter. If I manage, somehow, to get a PCC that's not...

trust me, not all saudis can afford big homes and nice cars....and I never fly on international flights and on business class because,simply, I cann't afford it. I'm single and I'm from the same neighbourhood where u currently live (if u know what I mean ;) )..... and Saudi Arabia is the most...

Hello CharlotteJ, It's nice to read a real life example for a newcomer who's doing her best to survive in such an expensive city! I'm Saudi from Saudi Arabia (obviously!!)..... and what your Saudi neighbour has told you is almost right...but I think the $2,700 should cover all expenses as the...

Yes I'm aware of that too... lack of freedom (I guess I should apply as a refugee!). I'll contact the canadian embassy in Saudi Arabia soon by phone or email just to know if Saudi citizens will have issues with their gov't if they decided to immigrate....hope they'll advise me with something...
