Saudi Arabia grants online eligibility to Canadian citizens across 1 visa option such as Tourist eVisa (Multiple Entries for 3 months).

Standard processing is typically 3 working days, with faster options around 5 hours.
Canadian passports come in 5- and 10-year versions; whichever you hold, verify it meets the destination’s minimum validity beyond your planned departure. Charges are usually in US dollars, so Canadian applicants should expect a minor CAD-to-USD conversion on their card statement. The most common avoidable mistake for Canadian citizens: applying with an expiring passport: renew first if your Canadian passport is within a few months of expiry, or the eVisa may be tied to a document you can no longer use.
Visa rules can change. Confirm details with official Saudi Arabia immigration authorities close to your travel date.
