Temp work permit application at CIC Riyadh Office / Skilled Professional LMO

@ ismailhiggy:
Did you include a valid Exit re entry visa from Saudi Arabia in your application package??
I was going through some of the forums and read that it is required for study visa especially while applying from Saudi Arabia. I am not sure whether the same is required for TWP also or not??

I included the latest Exit re Entry visa i used to Exit and re enter Saudi Arabia (so it is a used one).

@ismailhiggy:

Yes exactly. In he supplementry form I had mentioned my last entry in Saudi Arabia was on 29th August 2012. I had a multiple exit re entry visa valid till 6th Sept 2012. So I had included the same in my application package. But it is a used one and as on date it is not valid. I hope I have done the right thing?

What I was thinking is that we had to get a fresh Exit Entry visa and should had included in our package. I hope that's not the case??

It is a proof of your immigration status.
Do not worry too much, what supposed to happen will happen whether you included the correct documentations or not and you had a lawyer who checked you documents so do not worry and let's wait for the result.

I stated what is included in the latest NOC list issued last July.

as you applied for 29 shortage occupations that qualify for PR so that means that it is the old NOC matrix as of July 2011. right?

You please check NOC matrix 2011 first and then comment. crane operator is in skill level B in both the matrix 2006 and 2011 thanks

@sandhus
What i feel is there is not point arguing on this point. The fact is IELTS in not a compulsory document for TWP. that's for sure other wise my lawyer firm would have asked for it. Any how and any other day IELTS score is always an added document that you can include in you package. There is no harm in it. But its definitely not a mandatory document for TWP.
But end of the day all depends upon the VO. If after reviewing the package if he feels that the applicant doesn't have the req knowledge of the language, he would ask / look for the IELTS score to check the efficiency. If he feels after reviewing all the professional and educational documents that the applicant has the requisite knowledge of the language, he would ignore it.
Thats what I personally feel.

Going through different forums I came to know that unless there is any issue with the applicants package, the CIC always processes the application based on the processing time standards mentioned in the website. Like for CIC UAE its mentioned 1 -6 months for TWP. so In general TWP are processed in between 4-5-6 months in UAE. Where as for CIC Riyadh Embassy its mentioned 6 weeks .
As you had applied on 8th Sept 2012.. I think this is your last week to follow as on 20th Oct 2012 ur 6 weeks are getting over. All the very best dear. May you get your visa and then my TWP visa follows thereafter

Also one of my friends suggested me that and I am not sure how much true it is but I wish to share it will all of you.
If you had couriered your package and you have included your original passports and a return ARAMAX Airway bill, in the ARAMAX Web site you can put the AWB No and check the status. Becoz either case (your visa approved or rejected) the Embassy will send back your original passports using the same return AWB No. that you had included in your package.
So if the ARAMAX Tracker shows invalid AWB No and its more than the processing time, its more likely that the TWP has been approved and they can send the passports any time because in 99.99 % cases if the embassy had to reject the package, they would definitely reject within the processing time mentioned.

I am not sure how true this is. If anybody has any comments or experience, please do share.

I sent my package by Aramex and when i asked them to pay a return airway bill, the normal practice with the canadian embassy that that you will pay the return bairway bill fees when you come to collect my return package.

did you experience the same ?
