I was in Pakistan but due to the incident happened to me, i left Pakistan immediately and took my family which was in UAE and came here in March, besides in asylum cases does nationality matter the most or the case ?
U dont need pcc being a refugee claimant, but if your claim is approved and pr application is filed cic may ask you for the pcc fromm the countries u stayed more than6 months so that tike u need to obtain the pcc and for that the debts needs to be settled off , fair enough deal u need them to issue a certificate but first give back their money. So u have time to settle of till your acceptance but act fast.
For pakistan cases, if you have got strong evidences to support your claim then u have good chances for claim being accepted
Good luck
