What is the change? Saudi Arabia has ordered approximately 16,000 Saudi students in Canada to leave the country following a diplomatic dispute that erupted between the two countries last week.

BAL Analysis: Saudi officials said Wednesday that they are considering additional retaliatory measures against Canada. BAL is watching developments and will inform clients of any changes that affect visas or work permits for Saudi and Canadian nationals.
