Q: I have a current police case in Dubai due to a bounced security cheque of AED 30,000 from ENBD for my credit card.
I am outside the country and I just applied for the Canadian immigration. I want to remove my police case and get a police certificate for the Canadian immigration.
How can I pay the fine, and what are the procedures. I need to do this as soon as possible.
Thank you for your help.

Police Clearance Certificate [PCC] or Good Conduct Certificate in the UAE
9
Q: Hi,
I lived in Dubai about 9 years ago and I left an unsettled credit card bill, not a huge amount but I figured I wasn't going back for any reason.
Then over time, I completely lost track of it. Since then, I got a police clearance certificate from Dubai Police for immigration purposes in another country.
I was wondering if this meant that my record was clear and if I landed in Dubai I would not be put behind bars or anything of the sort.

Criminal record clearance

Q: Dear Sir,
I had issued a rental cheque to the landlord while I was a partner in the company, but when I left the company I forgot to collect the cheque back and eventually the new partner did not honor the payment, which later on ended up by landlord filling case and I was apprehended at the airport in Dubai on my visit. The amount was 14,000AED which I ended up paying at the court to close the case and get back home.
Now I want a Police Clearance Certificate from Dubai for my Canadian Immigration, will that case be reflected in the PCC or have an effect on the issuance of PCC?
Thanks

Obtaining police clearance certificate for immigration purpose
3
Q: Hi
I'm S. a Nepalese citizen.
I'm working as a security guard in a company in Dubai and I already completed 2 years and still working.
Now, I want to go to Europe for work and I already did a process and got an offer letter from there. They need some paper from my side which is a police report on my passport and NOC from my company.
I need help in this because my company says they can't give NOC or release paper for work purpose. They only give NOC for visiting purpose, not for work. So, they are saying they will not give me NOC (release)!!
Can you make it clear to me and help me out of this situation, please?
Your little help can make a big change for me.

Delay in obtaining a PCC from the UAE for immigration purpose

Q: Hi,
I have lived in the UAE from 2010-2012. I don't have emirates ID, I have applied for PCC for immigration purpose on Dubai police website and send them the fingerprints attested along with other documents from India.
Now, the status online shows In progress for almost one month. They are not responding to emails. Calls also hardly in touch. Only once they picked and seems they don't have any proper answers for my PCC.
I don't know why they're not issuing my PCC and delaying it. What I can do in this situation?

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
