Heads up Canadians!
Just wanted to alert new Canadian hires that the SA consulate in Ottawa is now requiring a new form, in addition to the original visa app. The form is called "Additional form for employment visa application."
I got an email from my relocation adviser today - even though my visa app is already at the consulate, I had to fill out the newly-required form anyway. Every new visa applicant will have to complete the form before the consulate will process visas.
The form basically included the following:
1. Name/date of birth/maiden name/place of birth, etc.
2. "Occupation you intend to practice in Saudi Arabia" - it's very important to ask your relocation advisor for advice, since this should match the 'visa le' assigned to you.
3. "List below all employment for the last five years" - make sure this matches your original application to Aramco, for the sake of consistency!
4. "List below all post-secondary insutions attended"
5. "Courses/certificates done online"
6. "Languages spoken or read"
7. "Professional associations you belong to"
8. "Previous military service"
YES, we know a lot of this was already covered in our background checks, don't we? But what are you gonna do?
