A Saudi study-permit application must show living-cost funds separate from tuition. For applications made on or after 1 September 2026, a single applicant outside Quebec must show CAD 23,448 for a year, rising with each accompanying family member and updated over time, so a family should confirm the current figure before applying. Saudi Arabia was not part of the Student Direct Stream.

Applicants give biometrics in person at a Canada Visa Application Centre; there are three in Saudi Arabia, in Riyadh, Jeddah and Al Khobar.

Saudi government scholarships, including the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques (King Abdullah) programme, fund university-level study rather than K-12, so a family enrolling a child in a Canadian private school funds the tuition and living costs itself.

The Saudi riyal is fixed to the US dollar at 3.75 riyals per dollar, a peg the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) has held since 1986, so the riyal's value against the Canadian dollar moves with the US dollar.

Saudi Arabia places no foreign-exchange controls on moving money abroad, so a family can convert riyals and send tuition to a Canadian school through the banking system without an annual quota or purchase approval.

The Bank of Canada does not publish a daily exchange rate for the Saudi riyal, so no official riyal-to-Canadian-dollar rate is shown on this page; because the riyal is fixed at 3.75 to the US dollar, a Canadian-dollar cost can be approximated from the US-dollar rate.

Canada's census does not count Saudi nationals separately, so the nearest measure is the broader Arab population group, which is not specific to Saudi families. In the 2021 census it numbered about 694,000 nationally.

The largest Arab populations are in the Montreal (about 246,000), Toronto (129,000), Ottawa-Gatineau (69,000), Calgary (32,000) and Edmonton (32,000) areas. Most private schools listed on MapleRank are in Ontario and British Columbia; of these centres, Toronto and Ottawa are in Ontario and Vancouver, with a large West Asian population, is in British Columbia, while Montreal is in Quebec.
