Nationals of Saudi would now be granted multiple-entry Temporary Resident Visa that would hold its validity for five years for Canada. Final decision is yet to be implemented on the same, but speculations are that the relief in the Canadian Visa Rules is surely on the cards. The amendment would be viable for applicants planning to study and work in Canada too.
Canadian ambassador David Chatterson has elaborated that if implemented, the new amendments would surely aid out and pace the process between both the nations. In addition, it will assist in the creation of better understanding and bilateral affair between Saudis and Canadians.
Also, courtesy the eased out regulations, it will become quicker for the Saudis who are enrolled in study institutions in Canada to travel back and forth with ease. The business people would also face the same benefits, once the amendment would be implemented.
Under the present visa regulations, the visas to Canada were authorized for a maximum time limit of 18 months. The recent amendments have surely created a huge sign of relief for Saudi students and workers who have already migrated to the Canadian land plus those who are expected to move to the country after these new regulations.
Stats say that more than 8,200 Saudi students are enrolled in various Canadian universities and institutions at present. This year, Canada is expecting the arrival of 2,000 more students. All in all, a good news for all of them!
