Applying Study Permit from Saudi Arabia - Tips & advice

[captainarabiia]

Any updates or anyone applying from Saudi Arabia or the GCC in common ?

Is it necessary to prove I will return to Saudi Arabia? What if I leave the job and go back home country on final exit visa?

Does that make my application weaker?

Well if your employer guarantees that you're gonna return and continue the job , it does make your application stronger .

Good day ,

I am a Saudi Resident "Indian National"

Born and living ever since in Saudi Arabia aged 23 .

I have few questions :-

1. While applying , what to mention in resident status in Saudi ? I am on employment now , permanent resident should be selected ??
2. Date of expiry of residency ? Do we have to enter the new five year expiry date of Residence Identity "Muqeem" ?
3. What about exit - re-entry visa ? Do we have to issue exit re-entry while applying for Canada Visa ?
4. Online application , how does it go ? After submitting online , do we have to send passport to VFS ? When ?
5. I have a good travel history , around 90-100 stamps of 7-8 countries in my current passport . Does it help ? Where do we have to mention travel history ?
6. I am going for a vocational "Pilot Training Program" , I finished my 12th grade in 2012 , so a gap of 4 years , I have been employed since , what to mention regarding my gap ? Can I just say I was preparing to get myself funded ?
7. My vocational program is of 9 months , so will Immigration Canada , give me a Multiple Entry Visa ? Could I request them to give me a multiple one ? Last thing I heard , all applications are given Multiple automatically .
8. I applied for a Singapore "Tourist Visa" this year , was rejected , do I need to tell them about this in visa refusals ?
9. I am planning to go to Canada in Feb 2017 , so if I apply my visa now , would there be a problem if I leave in Feb 2017 ? Is there a time limit to be in Canada once visa issued ? Reason to travel in Feb , Winnipeg is so cold in November to January .
10. To support ties with home country "India" , can we show them that my mother has 3-4 properties in her name ? What type of document is required ? Should it be attested ?
11. Regarding my family , my brother and sister live in Saudi and so does mom , could I attach their residency permits to show that I have a family here in Saudi and I will return after end of my studies ?
12. My employer will also produce a letter that I'm gonna finish my studies and return back to Saudi to work , does it help to make my application strong ?
13. SOP necessary? If yes , send me samples on captainarabiia@gmail.com and tariqkh_7@hotmail.com


Any other tips of advise is really appreciated .
Sorry for a long questionnaire :'(

I applied from Dammam in September and got refusal. I’m indian too. My documents were not proper. I’ve come back to India and I’m applying from here as I can get help and access my documents easily. I’m going to reapply next week again.

What were the reasons of rejection ?
Did you apply for CAIPS or GCMS Notes .

Yes I applied for GCMS . It stated that no strong ties to home country. No sufficient funds and also that I didn’t convince them I’d leave after the course
