Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I am applying for Canadian immigration and require a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC). I am currently outside of the UAE and had applied online for the PCC, but it was canceled, possibly due to some active cases against me. Could you please suggest what I should do to obtain a police clearance certificate? Currently, I am not in a good financial position to pay off any fines. There are two open cases against me, which I believe total around 70k AED. How much would be the minimum fine that I need to pay to obtain a clean police clearance certificate for immigration purposes?

Q: Dear Lawyers, I was detained yesterday at Al Barsha Police Station regarding a complaint against me for theft. I was released this afternoon. The police told me I am released, but they didn't give me any paperwork. My relatives went to the police station, and they were informed that I am "clear" and released. I checked the Dubai app with my case number, and there is no judgment date, session number, or prosecution date. Does this mean the complainant dropped the case and the travel ban is lifted?
