Study in Canada made easier

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, September 13, 2010 - His Excellency David Chatterson, Ambassador of Canada to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, announced today that medical examinations will no longer be required for most Saudi citizens, including students, who plan to stay in Canada for more than six months.
“I am very pleased with this decision,” said Ambassador Chatterson. “This follows the announcement in May that Saudi nationals can be issued a multiple entry Temporary Resident Visa for Canada for up to five years.”
While most long-term students will no longer be required to have a medical examination, examinations are still required for those working in the health sciences field or with children.
There are now over 12,000 Saudi students in Canada, of which approximately 800 are medical doctors undertaking advanced studies and residencies. Saudi Arabia is Canada’s second-largest trading partner in the region, with two-way trade approaching $3 billion in 2009.
"The new medical exam rules for Saudi visitors will make it easier for Saudi students to study in Canada and further bolster our strong relationship," added Ambassador Chatterson.
Information on how to apply for a visa can be found on the Canadian Embassy website at www.saudiarabia.gc.ca.
