Q: Hi Eman, I am K. R. D. C. G., currently live in Canada. I worked in UAE (Abu Dhabi & Ajman) from 2013 to 2016. I would like to request a police clearance certificate for immigration purposes (For Canadian Permanent Residence). I have tried twice online but have failed. In 2016, I had to go back to Sri Lanka due to my wife's medical situation (she was pregnant). I quit my job & left the UAE without informing my employer, banks, landlord... etc. & I never went back. I have my Expired Emirates ID with me. Please advise.

Q: Hello, Around 2 years back, I was acquitted (found innocent) in a financial case in the Court of First Instance and Court of Appeal as well in Dubai. I received my passport back but I never went to the police station after that. I have changed visa and travelled without a problem. Recently, I applied for a Police Clearance Certificate and it was rejected. My brother went to the police station and they told him I have a file there. Now, I feel scared to go myself as I don't know if it's an old case I mentioned and I just need to clear it from the system or something new. Is this because I didn't submit the judgement papers to the police station? Or more likely some new case? I am interested in hiring a lawyer to help me with this. Thank you

Q: Hi I need a police clearance for my immigration process to the US. I have some issue with my credit card before, can I still apply for a clearance from the police department?

Q: Dear Sir/Ma'am, I applied for a police clearance certificate one day ago, but it still hasn't arrived. I checked, and they advised me to review the concerned party.
