Hi, I know it’s been a while but I’m in the same situation. When you filled out the application, and mentioned ‘No’ under ‘If you have Emirates ID’ there is an option to tick off saying that you accept the biometrics card instructions’. What did you do for that?I was a resident of UAE up until 2020. My Emirates ID was cancelled shortly after.
That's the only thing that i guess that makes it different for me.... I had to get a PCC for security clearance for the job i do here in Canada.
I was never asked for fingerprints. I wish i knew more details on this, but just sharing my personal experience.
