Q: Dear sir/madam, I currently live in Canada. I worked in UAE (Abu Dhabi and Ajman) from 2013 to 2016. I want to acquire a Police Clearance Certificate for immigration purposes (to Canada). I've tried online twice but have failed. I would like to know where there is any court case against me. In 2016, I left the UAE without informing my employer, bank, lessor, etc. since my wife was in a bad medical condition in Sri Lanka at that time. Then I never returned to the UAE. Can I please get some help in this process?

Q: Dear sir/madam, I have received a police clearance certificate from Dubai police. Does it mean that I have no court circulars, reports, anything criminal, any legal issue, or any immigration ban in UAE?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Can I still obtain a police clearance if I have a pending credit card payment? Also, do you think a civil case will appear on my police clearance?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Can I obtain a police clearance after serving a sentence and appealing to court in the UAE? I had a misdemeanor in 2018, a 3rd-degree case. After that, I secured a job and obtained a visa, but due to the police clearance rule, I failed to obtain it. However, my case was settled five years ago in the appeal court, and I served one month in Al Wathba prison.

Q: Hi, I have a case that I've already finished, but when I apply for a PCC, it gets rejected and asks me to undergo rehabilitation. Kindly advise!
