Dear all:

As I understand you need to provide "certified" copies of some documents, e.g., passports, current national IDs, work contracts, certifications, etc. My question is where to get these copies certified in Jeddah? the Chamber of Commerce would certify only things written on official letterheads by registered companies.

Thank you for your guidance.

hello dear,

you don't need to provide any "certification" for passport and national id copies, but, when you get your company employment letter, you may get stamped from chamber of commerce of jeddah as all your official co. ref. letter would be printed in original letter head, but, i would suggest not to waste your money as it will cost you 30 SAR per page to get it stumped, what i did in my case, i made stump on the ONLY one letter and that is "employment certificate" of my company. rest of the documents from your co. you just submit the originals those are printed in co. letter head. other documents apart from printed in co. letter head don't require chamber of commerce, BUT, you make get it notarized from a law farm here in saudi arabia as i have done the same when submitting all my documents to london.

Thanks for your insight and help.

But I would appreciate if you know of any lawyer(s) in Jeddah who certify/notarize copies of various documents which you submit alongwith your application as I mentioned.

Also, how do you get the Police Clearnace Certificates? Do you go to the nearest Police Station of you district of your city, or the Headquaretr, or do you get it from the distric councellor (Umda)? Is it easy? How much time it takes?

dear,

any law firm within jeddah will certify your copies that you choose, i am from al-khobar, so dont have any idea about law firms of jeddah, an attorney is authorized in saudi to verify and stamp your copies as ok, as per my experience, i visited one of the law firm and the attorney just checked my original certificates and put stamp on the photocopies, thats all.

in regards to PCC, the visa office will send you a arabic letter(request letter in arabic to police authority), and you have to take that arabic letter to chamber of commerce for stamp, then you will take it to police station to get PCC.

any lawyer(s) in Jeddah who certify/notarize copies of various documents : Canadian Honorary General Mr. Attar is authorized to certify any documents for Canada. His office is at the Madinah Road, if you go from Balad on the left hand his office building.

Mississauga, December 10, 2012 — To address Canada's growing demand for skilled tradespersons, a new Federal Skilled Trades Program is being launched on January 2, 2013, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.

“The new Skilled Trades Stream will help address serious labour shortages in some regions of the country, and support economic growth,” Minister Kenney said. “For too long, Canada's immigration system has not been open to these in-demand skilled workers. These changes are long overdue and will help us move to a fast and flexible immigration system that works for Canada's economy.”

The program criteria are built around four requirements that ensure applicants will have the right skills and experience needed to succeed here in Canada. In order to qualify, applicants will need to:

have an offer of employment in Canada or a certificate of qualification from a province or territory to ensure that applicants are “job ready” upon arrival;
meet a basic language requirement;
have a minimum of two years of work experience as a skilled tradesperson, to ensure that the applicant has recent and relevant practice as a qualified journeyman; and
have the skills and experience that match those set out in the National Occupational Classification (NOC B) system, showing that they have performed the essential duties of the occupation.
In order to manage intake, avoid backlogs and ensure fast processing times, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will accept up to a maximum of 3,000 applications in the first year of the Federal Skilled Trades Program.

Minister Kenney was joined at today's announcement by Michael Atkinson, President of the Canadian Construction Association. “The introduction of a dedicated and streamlined program for skilled trades addresses many of the shortcomings from the current Federal Skilled Worker Program,” said Michael Atkinson. “The new program ensures greater consideration is given to the needs of industry when processing eligible immigration applications.”

“Ensuring Canada's immigration system works for small employers in need of skilled trades' people has been a concern for some time,” said Dan Kelly, President and CEO of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. “With the shortage of qualified labour in many parts of Canada growing once again, the launch of the Skilled Trades immigration stream is very welcome news.”

Eligible occupations will include electricians, welders, heavy-duty equipment mechanics, and pipefitters, among others. CIC is currently working with the provinces, territories and federal government partners on the list of skilled trades' occupations that are experiencing acute labour shortages and which will qualify under the program. This list will be announced prior to the program opening on January 2, 2013.

The Federal Skilled Trades Program will complement other avenues already in place for skilled tradespersons to immigrate to Canada, such as the Canadian Experience Class and Provincial Nominee Programs.

“As promised in Economic Action Plan 2012, we are creating a new immigration stream to facilitate entry of skilled tradespersons,” added Minister Kenney. “The Federal Skilled Trades Program will help transform Canada's immigration system into a fast and flexible system focused on jobs, growth and long-term prosperity.”
