Hi All. I came to Canada with my wife n 3 kids from Dubai back in 2019. Due to Pandemic I was laid off and with a hefty personal loan, and ever increasing expenses in Dubai I was not able to survive with no income and moved to Canada.

Also scared of being put behind bars as that is the norm in UAE for any outstandings.

To my surprise - I just received a call on my local Canada cell number from the bank in Dubai asking me about my outstandings. I was surprised that how they got my number!!

I did get a Police Clearance letter 3 months later arriving in Canada in 2019 but it's expired now as it is only valid for 3 months.

I know that with my outstanding the authorities have issued a Police case on me.

Will this affect my PR?

Kindly advise.

Hi,
FYI: I still have an unpaid loan and credit card from Dubai from about 3 years ago.. I applied for the Certificate of Good conduct a few months ago and received it a few weeks ago. So no issues getting it still with unpaid debt.
Got my PR soon after that..
What was the loan amount if you don't mind me asking? Was it more than 100K?

Do you already have PR? If so, this won't affect your PR status.

Seems you are already a PR now, so what you should think about is - in future will you need police clearance from UAE for your citizenship application? Or PR renewal (if you will need to renew it at some point).

Lastly, regardless - taking a loan and not paying it back is immoral, my advice is - always do the right thing even when no one is watching!
