Getting a clean PCC for immigration with active cases


1
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?

Does my release from the police mean the complainant dropped the case?




1
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?

Hello,
We are a building materials trading company based in the UAE. We supplied materials worth AED 50,000 to a customer around 8 months ago, but despite repeated follow-ups and reminders, no payment has been made to date.
We would appreciate guidance on the following:

2. What documents should we have ready (e.g., delivery notes, invoice, emails)?
3. How long does the legal process typically take in the UAE for such cases?
4. Is there a recommended timeline or deadline after which legal steps should be initiated?
Thank you in advance for your advice!
