Okay, so BLS will accept the PCC if it's not addressed to them, great.

Thanks for your input.
hi, how long did it take VFS to stamp and return your passport? Thanks.Thank you for your response. I have submitted my passports to Abu Dhabi VO, but have not received any confirmation nor did my EE profile got updated (Still showing as in progess). Is this a norm?
Further, how much time do i get to land in Canada? is there a specific time frame from Visa issuance or how does it work?
Appreciate all the help

Hey Abu Dhabi! Can I please get some advice on getting the police certificate? From where do I apply to get one? Just any police station or do I have to go to the capital police station? Also is it valid for a specific period of time? I haven't received an ITA yet but I would like to have it ready. I heard from some friends that the certificate is only valid for 1 month after its released so any confirmation about this point would be appreciated.
Thanks all!
Thanks all!
Use the Ministry of Interior (MOI) app or Abu Dhabi Police App. Preferably the MOI one. It'll get delivered via email / hardcopy in 2-3 days so I'd apply after the ITA. If you live in the UAE the PCC should be less than 6 months old.
Thanks! Did you opt for self-pickup or courier delivery? I need to land in time for an event in Canada and trying to line up my passport return time accordingly.
Hi ladies and gentlemen,
I am pleased to announce that I have received my PPR. I want to send my passport to the AD visa office, however I am confused to which address to send it. The address on the PPR confirmation is different than the address on the AD visa office website. I would really appreciate it somebody can point to the correct address, please?
Thank you in advance!

The address in the letter my friend that is what I did, I think it was immigration department west towers if I remember correctly.
Hi @UnleashedFX - the PPR letter also emphasizes that it is preferable send through VFS, end not via courier to the embassy. Any reason why you want to send directly to the embassy? Also, given your nick on the forum, are you an FX trader?
Thanks for the help! That seems much simpler than going to the police station.
Did anyone in UAE give their employment letters from a colleague/manager? How and where did you get it notarised / attested etc.? Thanks in advance.
Hi Everyone, I am new to this thread because I wasn't sure if AD is my VO but I just received my PPR and a google search of the email address included in the PPR indicated the ADVO (I am not based in the UAE but in one of the other GCC countries)
The issue is that I have 30 days to submit the passport (i.e. to submit by 24 Aug), but my family and I are due to travel for Hajj on 4 Aug, i.e. in 9 days from now. Following this, I am not back in my country of residence until 10 Sep, which is after the 30 day PPR window. Upon checking with VFS i was informed that ADVO can take up to 4 weeks for returning the passport, so its a risk that if I submit the passport now, I won't get the passport back in time to travel for Hajj.
I have just sent an email to ADVO explaining the situation and requesting an extension, but does any one know or has experienced doing such a request from them? I received an auto-reply stating they could take up to 15 business days just to respond to my email, which means I would be already travelling by the time they even respond; so I am very concerned that this might become a big issue if they do not provide an extension.
I am really worried that this small procedural issue might cause big problems right at the end of an already hard journey. Would love to know if any one can offer any help or advise.
