Hi everyone,

My husband landed in Sept. in Canada. He could not collect his PR card in time due to family reasons. He has now applied for a travel document to return back to Canada. Any idea how long the process could take the Canadian embassy in Riyadh? Thanks!

Hi,

Friends I have received GCMS Notes last evening, it shows nothing started even after 13 months since PER. Earlier due date was 31-DEC-2015 now they moved it to 13-Feb.

Not a single line varies from my previous notes which i ordered in October.

What could be the reason of not initiating any checks, its a indication will they dump the file after some time.If checks were started and got stuck somewhere in security/background checks

are acceptable but Put Away Status after 15+ months.


Kindly share your inputs..

Thanks,
Yameen

Yeah... its one month .... no idea about extension
Embassy takes 2-3 working days.

good luck
Dear All
I got my PPR email last week. The process went steadfast after medicals and I got PPR after 1 month of medicals. VO is London and Visa officer is DRD.

Questions seeking your guidance:

1. Which visa category to choose for taking VFS appointment
2. Most importantly how long would it take to get the passport back from VFS. This is critical as I have some work out of KSA but will be travelling back to get this visa within the timeline specified, I need to get the PP back with Visa's stamped and get back to work outside of KSA soonest. So please share your experiences?

3. Apart from the email, the updated info chart they have asked for, two pics of each member and original pp's, do we need to submit anythingelse?

AWAITING YOUR EARIEST REPLIES TO BOOK MY FLIGHTS ACCORDINGLY.

Hello People,

I'm planning to move to Vancouver, BC sometimes in June 2016 .I would like some information about sending goods to Canada (Vancouver BC). I'm residing in Riyadh and wish to send my good but have no idea which agency or Cargo service to find and choose. I've also heard that people share half container but I may not have that much of stuff to accommodate half container.
Also how much I can carry with myself.

Can you please help me with such information?

Thanks a lot

Thanks sashms,

The timeline of London VO is 18 months from the date of starting processing of application, not from date of receiving application. So it is expected not to receive any answer from Program Assistant (RIH).

PPR usually takes from 2 weeks to 4 months (or more in few cases), so you don't have to worry about yourself, inshaAllah your PPR is on the way.

I'm on vacation these days in Pakistan, I can contact you after a month.

I suggest if you also check the following forum which is specially for LVO-RIH, this is very helpful:
