Home / Immigrating from Saudi Arabia

A realistic pathway comparison

Saudi residence history & PCC

IRCC’s police certificate guidance is country-specific. Start early by keeping residence dates, identity records and local instructions together. Check the official police certificate page, and do not confuse a PCC fingerprint process with IRCC biometrics.

Arabic records and certified translation

Employment, civil-status and police documents may be Arabic. IRCC requires documents in English or French, so obtain accurate translations and retain originals. A translation is not an assessment of eligibility.

ECA and language test

A foreign degree may need an ECA for immigration purposes. Use IRCC-approved language testing; language of employment does not replace it.

Funds, medicals and biometrics

Some economic applicants need settlement funds, with current amounts set by IRCC. Medical and biometrics requirements depend on the application and instructions. Review the live proof-of-funds rules.

Common Saudi Arabia to Canada questions

I am an expat in Saudi Arabia, not a Saudi citizen. Does that change the process?
