Canadian Immigration and Unpaid debts in Dubai

[pakilarka]

I left about 18 months ago with unpaid credit card debts and now I hve recently done medicals and the counsulate is doing background checks...

As I understand it they usually try to cash the security check and then register a police case against you. I managed to get a clear PCC from Dubai about 9 months after I left....I don't know if a case has been registered against me since then...

If a case has been registered against me will it show on background check leading to denial of PR? Is it possible for me to at that stage take care of the debt and get a clean record? Anyone with experience in Dubai pls help I am very very tensed

By this time you will be on UAE Immigration watch list, so you will it will come up during security checks because its a Criminal offence in UAE. It takes approx a year to register case against you and put your name on watch list.

Thanks for the reply

So is all lost or is there something I can do about it.

If I pay it off will it clear my record or still stay on in?

I answered you in Dubai thread. Here it's :

In such case, your name will be on police list and there will be NO COURT DECISION YET. this means that if you pay the amount, your name will be called off. Then, once you ask for PCC, most probably, it will pass with no issues.

However, you have to triple confirm that the bank notifies and withdraws its claim with local authorities and police. Usually banks get relaxed on doing so.

Anything can happen...
U need to keep your fingers Xed. But, if a situation so arises -- u can always pay-up, obtain a 'clean-chit' from the Bank, then go to Dubai Courts [Claims Section - Left Wing] & deposit that C/chit to clear your records with a Judicial NOC [costs AED50+50, no lawyer needed], bring that NOC to the CID dept [Ramada R/A], pay again AED50 & your record from the central computer will be removed. They'd provide u with a 'computer print-out of your named screen-shot', having 'blank' [all in Arabic] -- it'd be wise for u to hold-on to that paper for life.

Good advice.

Thanks everyone for their input...

This is the way I see it and tell me if I am wrong.....Since this police case is not a criminial offense in Canada they cannot say that I am criminally inadmissiable or deny my PR application on this grounds...Right?

Also, from your postings it seems that if I pay off the debt then even Dubai Police and CID no longer have a problem with this and I have no criminal record in the UAE as well...

Please let me know if I am wrong in this

Thanks for the quick response, SIR. I really appreciate it\\

When you say anything can happen-do you means that it can or cannot show up on background checks or do you means they can deny my PR application. It seems that if I pay off the amount and follow the procedure that you and the others have outlined than there is no crinimal record? Is that correct? I guess I am asking is that as far as London VO is concerned can I pay off the debt and have no criminal issues for perm immigration to Canada.

P.S-I am not planning on going to Dubai before I have cleared the debt

Thanks

It may reflect on your Security Clearance. And if the VO desires another fresh PCC of Dubai - I'm 100% sure it'd be 'stuck'@this stage.

Nonetheless, it may not reflect anything at all -- it all depends on the format of security check on your case. So, the system/case remains fluid --- no one can know for sure.

The wise thing is to clear-off your debts - anytime, anywhere.
