Checking the pending cases to issue a police clearance certificate


4
Q: Hi,
I currently live in Canada and would like to get a Police Clearance Certificate for immigration purposes (to apply for permanent residence). I tried online twice but I have failed.
I worked in the UAE (Abu Dhabi & Ajman) from 2013 to 2016. Unfortunately, I had to leave the UAE without informing my employer, bank, tenant, etc. due to my wife's emergency medical situation.
I never returned back to the UAE. Later, I got to know that my employer has put me abscond. I would like to get assistance with checking for court cases filed against me.
Thank You!

Is a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications? 0
Hello,
My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.
Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter?
If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?

Can I cancel my house sale contract without extra fees after personal plans changed? 0
Dear Lawyers,
I signed a Form F with a buyer for the sale of my house as we were planning to leave the country. The contract was signed about a month ago, but the handover is not until August.
Due to personal circumstances changing, we are no longer leaving Dubai and would like to cancel Form F.
The Form F contract stipulates that we have to pay the buyer 10% of the purchase value. The real estate agent is now claiming that we also have to pay the buyer's real estate commission and the conveyancing fee.
Our understanding is that the 10% penalty is the only penalty. Which is correct, and what are the next steps to dispute this?
Also, is there any way to dispute the 10% itself under the law due to personal circumstances changing?
