Saudi Police Clearance or Certificate

Are you being required by the Canadian Visa Office to submit Saudi Police Clearance or Saudi Police Certificate?

Here's how to obtain a Saudi Police Certificate.

If you need a police certificate, your immigration processing office will give you a request letter. If you have any questions about this, please contact your immigration processing office.

If your application is being processed at the Canadian High Commission in London, you are not required to obtain a police certificate until the London visa office sends you a police certificate request letter with instructions on how to apply.

If you are applying at the Canadian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, UAE, you should submit the police certificate with your application. You can contact the visa office at fax: (971 2) 694-0396 or e-mail: abu-dhabi-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca Please include your immigration file number if you have one.

For applications being processed at any other office, e-mail: riyadh.visa@international.gc.ca or fax: 966-1-488-9657. Please include the file number, the office where you applied and your mailing address. [Source]

The problem, however, is that Saudi Police Certificates are available only to current legal residents.

How to get a Saudi Police Clearance for non-residents?

For those in the US, check the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington DC website for the details on how to get a Saudi Police Clearance.

The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Manila, however, does not process police certificate.

If you are a Filipino applicant currently residing in the Philippines and is being required to submit a Saudi Police Clearance by the Canadian Visa Office in Manila, you may seek the help of Office of the Undersecretary for Migrant and Workers Affairs (OUMWA). Go to the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila. OUMWA will help you get the Saudi Police Clearance. The process may take 30-60 days. To make it easy for you, I'll post the required documents once I received a reply from OUMWA.

Greetings Mr.Apuntar,
just recently I have received the clearance certificate I requested from OUMWA. Thank you very much for this info.
Although, I received a "no derogatory record" issued by the Phil Embassy riyadh.
Will the Canadian Embassy honor this document?

Thanks
- Peter

The Canadian Embassy for my application in caregiver did NOT accept documents from Office of the Undersecretary for Migrant and Workers Affairs (OUMWA)-Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila.

I am not sure now what process can be done to secure a clearance. Any other suggestions?

My husband worked in Saudi on 2004 and now we are base in Dubai and applying for immigrant visa to Canada.

We submitted application for Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) in Saudi Embassy - Dubai last February, 2009 but unfortunate until now there is no reply. We recieved email from Canadian embassy to submit the PCC within 60 days. We went again to Saudi embassy - Dubai to apply for another PCC with the letter of Canadian Embassy but they said no need to apply because he has existing application but they can not give specific time when we can get his PCC. We also called the Phil. embassy in riyadh, they said they can issue Certificate of No Deregatory Record. My question, is the Canadian Embassy will accept this clearance from phil embassy - riyadh? If we can ask anyone in Saudi to get the PCC, what is the fastest procedure?

Thanks! Any information will be appreciated.
