A colleague at work (in Saudi Arabia) had his daughter's Study Visa approved last week. His wife also applied for a TRV to accompany their daughter and help her settle down at campus. They will be on vacation back (home) in Egypt if/when his wife get's her passport request. When picking up the...

You have a strong case. You need to show proofs of your financial status (employment letter, pay slips, bank statements for 4 months) and ties to UK (marriage certificate, employment leave letter, other assets, family, etc.). An invitation letter from your 'uncle' explaining your relationship...

Submitted my wife's passport at VFS Jeddah and it was back stamped in 2 days. Probably the same, give or take, for Khobar.

No, the person who wishes to receive a visa to enter Canada must apply for the visa.

Expats do not have a permanent residency in Saudi, under usual circumstances (99% of the time)

No real requirements because there is no such thing as a 'sponsor' for a visitor visa. You can help by sending him an invitation letter, though which he can attach in his application. More info on the letter can be found here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/letter.asp

6 months is a long time, there is a strong chance you will be denied a visa. What is the purpose of your visit? What ties do you have to Pakistan? You need to prove that you will not overstay your visit.

Best bet is to visit the Canadian Visa Application Center. There are one each located in Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore. You can contact them or get more info here: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/Canada/Pakistan/

Here is a screenshot for the questionnaire where it determines if you need an eTA or a visitor visa. As you can see, based on your status of being an Egyptian passport holder who is not a permanent resident of the U.S. (green card holder, not a US visitor visa like you have), you need a 'visa'...

It varies from one place to another. Contact your local visa application centre for correct information.
