The International Group for Training in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through the Canadian IP Group are looking for ESL teachers and sent a contract copy and looking for me to accept offer soon. Any background on these?

I had a similar offer from them - contract copy + pic's of accommodations. I phoned their office in Canada and spoke to someone who said I had 'passed the application phases' and should email copy of my visa. No formal interview to be conducted.. all seems too good to be true. Found someone on LinkedIn who gave a fervid warning of the IGIT company. Can anyone confirm this?

How can you email a copy of your visa? A visa is something that the employer provides for you...

This gang sounds either incompetent or running a scam.

If it is a real job that accepts you with no interview, you should RUN!!

Do not run, it is true.
I got 2 job offers from IGIT 2 years ago and EDEX last year without interviews, both were true. Friend went and joined them but I did not and still blaming myself as I listened to negative people!
Do not listen to negative people, always negative, and complaining!! I worked in Riyadh and met many Westerners from UK,US and Australia, they were unhappy and complaining despite they get very good pay. I returned to UK but they still working till now!! complaining and negative!! they cannot leave the place for a very simple reason: they are double faced and cheap!! I promised if I get a job in any Arab countries I am not listening or socializing with any Westerners who are, always negative and complaining, but still teaching and saving money!! liars!! and advise another teachers not to come because it is a very bad place and mismanagement everywhere!! despite they have been teaching for years in the same place!! Cheap!! and pretend that they come from civilised and developed countries!! They are partial and biased toward Arab countries, thats it!!
Please go ahead with this company, it is real as Saudi Arabia is desperate for English teachers now, Ramadan comes early this year, and the new academic year starts on 25/08. Hail university itself needs more than 100 teacher. KSU more than 150 and KFUPM needs 100....etc.
Do not listen to double-faced and negative teachers!!

Dear hashim99uk,

Are you posting as an EFL/ESL teacher?

Your post would seem to indicate a certain unfamiliarity with the English language.

Regards,
John

Again, this criticism comes from a Westerner who, maybe one of negative teachers who asks another jobseekers not to come!!But cannot say this except to disqualify others and look down on them, really partial!!

Dear hashim99uk,

Mama mia - even your rebuttal is full of errors. I sincerely hope you are not trying to TEACH anyone English.

Regards,
John

I received an email by this "company" three times (on the same day) last week. The funny part is that I have been working at KAU for three years and I'm not looking, nor have I ever applied for any position du
