Hi everyone! specially those presently working in KSA, how did you receive your AOR? is it through email, regular mail or courier? i guess regular mail here in the kingdom doesn't work well? except for courier(DHL and FedEx)... somebody please????.... ::)
It depends which mean of communication you have opted while filling out forms. Most of us here prefer to receive all communications by email.

Dear friends,

I am a fsw 2013 applicant from jubail ksa I need to know the location for finger print office for PCC in jubail /khobar/dammam.
below is a quote from another forum:

"Head to the Police Station in your city. If you live in AlKhobar, this is right opposite to Gulf Center at the end of Dhahran Street. Go early in the morning as they only handle fingerprinting before 12pm. Once there, find the forensics lab and head in and ask to see someone about police certificates. You'll be guided to a head officer who will sign the paper and direct you to go to another officer who will give you the fingerprinting form. He will direct you to go to the fingerprinting area to get your fingerprints on the paper."

I would like to add here that Al Khobar sends all data to Dammam which is head quarter and it will add extra days to get it back. Dammam has a fixed 5 days time frame of giving the police clearance. Also, they have machine readable finger printing device. I have been there just 10 days back and it took hardly 10 minutes to complete the procedure. If you want to go to Dammam police station go to Seiko building area and ask anyone about its location they will tell you. One important thing to remember.... there is no parking area around........

You are late for this year.

If you send your application after receiving your IELTS results in November, your application will be returned saying the cap has been reached.

Hi! I'm quite new here. I would like to ask anyone who's from Jeddah and the VO is in Manila?
I already received a PPR, I'm wondering what address did you wrote in the appendix A? The street number and so and so forth? I don't have a PO box address too. Also, if you may, what is the advisable courier/branch? I can't speak Arabic.. haha Please need some advice. Thank you in advance.

Please reply the following questions regarding first landing,

1. Which airlines is considered best to travel from Jeddah to Toronto, money wise, flying time, and should have max one stop!
2. Any idea about the prices, should I take the tickets from any ticketing agency or online. Please suggest a reliable site, or give link from where I can check the rates and buy the tickets if it suits.
3. How harsh is the winter in Toronto in December, is there snowfall, approx temperature range ! Can we move around easily!
4. Would a 10 day trip be sufficient to get all the necessary paper work done, including road test for G license.
5. If I want to put all the gold that we have in the goods to follow list, do I have to take the photographs now and show to IO !
6. Am I right in understanding that goods to follow is a list in which we include all the goods that will follow later, for example when I go second time and want to take all that goods.
7. Is there any Islamic bank in Toronto, which doesn't deal in riba, is credit card mandatory, what if I don't want to have a credit card, and just the debit card!
8. Please share link, or tell from where can I have goods to carry and goods to follow forms, also explain these two terms. Is there any other form that I need to download and fill and shall be needed during first landing !
9.Do we need to deposit some money in the conventional banks for opening an account, which bank is better and how long does it take to open a bank account, tell procedure please !
10. Which letter shall i be requiring from marur for driving license purpose, does it need to be translated in English and attested from mofa !
11. Which is the best way to carry the required money, should it be cash, traveller cheques or ! should the cash be in CAD or I can carry the equivalent riyals also !

Thanks
