Total Cost of the Holiday or Visit:
Do consult the travel agent regarding their refund policy. An unforeseen event may lead to
cancellation of your trip or holiday. If this happens, it always helps if you can get the
money back.
Traveling with Family:
If you are traveling to Saudi Arabia with spouse and children, the travel insurance must
cover them. Therefore, it always helps to be informed before starting your journey and buy
the right travel insurance package.

My father lived in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, from 1995 to 2006. He now lives in Canada and needs a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from Saudi Arabia for Canadian permanent residency. He has documents including an old passport issued in Riyadh, a driver's license, and visa information. I've tried contacting the Saudi Arabian embassy in Ottawa, Canada, multiple times, but haven't received a response. Could you please help me? How can I obtain the PCC?
