Hi,
I submitted my passport on March 25 and received by Canada Visa Office Riyadh on March 26th. Still no update, not even my CIC account...

Is this normal or should I need to contact LVO or RVO for clarification.

I am particularly worried as two of my friends submitted their passports after mine to Riyadh and they already gotten their passports back with Visa and CoPR.

Experienced guys please reply....................

Dear Shahid Bhai,

I am based at Jeddah. Just received PPR letter for my Canada Work Permit.
Kindly let me know, after stamping of visa, within how many, I have to complete my landing?. Some friends told that it is perhaps within 90 days, one has to land after visa stamp date.

In fact, as per my existing working contractual obligation in KSA, I can't resign before 3rd September 2018 i.e. 125 days still left.

Any suggestion from your side is highly appreciated.
Regards,

Hey guys, my wife's application is being processed in Rome, Italy and recently they requested her passport, can I submit the passport to VFS here in Riyadh instead of sending it to Rome? because Aramex wont ship her passport to Italy for some odd reason.
Please advise.

Thank you

who will return the passport after it was stamp by ABU DH
Anyone who submitted their passports in Jeddah VFS through courier? Is it possible that I courier our passports to VFS in either Jeddah or Riyadh as I live in the south of the Saudi and it would be difficult for me to visit these centers personally. Will they courier it back to where I live and do I like have to enclose a prepaid envelope for them to send it back to my address? Please any answers would be appreciated.
Also, Mr. Shahid, is the VFS is very crowded in Riyadh if I have to visit them personally since I would be traveling alone if I have to?
sir can you please give me your number. I think we are in same situation..thank you

Hi metal

I ventured to visit VFS Riyadh yesterday (dated July 26, 2017) and they informed me that they can manage my request of passport submission without having to submit my passports to Abu Dhabi office by courier.

Naturally I was relieved to hear that and hence submitted my passports along with passports of my family to them for onward processing through Canadian Embassy in Riyadh.

Thank you for taking your time out and responding to my query.

Best Regards,
Shahid
how long did you get your passport back after visa stamping. Thank you

Assalaamualaikum,
Dear Shahid, I have received the PPR too and the instruction says "To Submit your Application to Abu Dhabi" and then continues with the options we have for submitting application to Abu Dhabi. To get it safe and sound I would like to submit it to Riyadh CHC through VFS but the doubt I have is that I am an FSW 2014 applicant and someone told me that Riyadh CHC may accept visa stamping from express entry applicants only so could you or anyone shed some light on this matter then I could save time.
Regards
Arshad
