Gulf to Canada
Immigrate to Canada from Saudi Arabia
Millions of skilled professionals live and work in Saudi Arabia, and for many of them Canadian permanent residence is the long-term plan that Gulf residency cannot offer. RA Migration helps Saudi nationals and expatriates in the Kingdom turn Gulf careers into Canadian futures.

From Saudi Arabia to Canada
Why people move from Saudi Arabia to Canada
Applications from Saudi Arabia come from two very different groups. The first is expatriate professionals, Arab, South Asian, Filipino and beyond, who have built strong careers in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and the Eastern Province but hold residency tied to an employer. The second is Saudi nationals, particularly students and young professionals, drawn by Canadian education and quality of life.
For expatriates the logic is simple: Gulf residency ends with the job, while Canadian permanent residence is yours to keep. Express Entry rewards exactly what successful Gulf careers produce: skilled experience, strong salaries that fund the move, and often excellent English. We help you convert that profile into points, and points into a plan.
By the numbers
Canada’s Arab population reached 694,020 people in the 2021 Census, and Gulf-based professionals are one of the fastest-growing sources of new skilled applications. Source: Statistics Canada, Portrait of the Arab Populations in Canada.

Provincial nominee programs
Provincial streams target in-demand occupations and can add decisive points for candidates applying from Saudi Arabia.
Study in Canada
A strong option for Saudi students and for expat families planning a child’s education: study permit, Post-Graduation Work Permit, then permanent residence.
Family sponsorship
Sponsorship for spouses and family members living in Saudi Arabia, prepared on both the Canadian and Saudi sides of the file.
Work permits
Canadian employer-supported permits, including LMIA-backed offers, for specialists recruited directly from the Gulf.

Documents & Details
Applying from Saudi Arabia: what to prepare
Every country has its own paperwork realities. These are the ones that matter most for applicants from Saudi Arabia.
Saudi police certificate
Saudi Arabia issues police clearances through its own process, and timing matters because requests can be slower after you leave the Kingdom. We plan the request while your status is active.
Employment evidence
IRCC expects detailed employment letters with duties, hours and salary. Gulf employers often issue brief certificates, so we work with you to obtain letters that actually satisfy the requirement.
Multiple jurisdictions
Expat files usually span several countries: citizenship, Saudi residence and previous work locations. Each adds documents, and we map the complete list before you apply.
Language tests
Approved English and French tests run regularly in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. Test strategy is usually the fastest way to raise a Gulf applicant’s score.
