Police Clearance Report from Dubai

[Hashini033]

Hi, I'm planning on applying for a student visa for the January 2025 intake.
I was arrested by Dubai Police on June 3, 2018, served approximately 4 months of jail time for a drug case (using weed), got pardoned for my criminal/misdemeanor activity, and got deported back to my country on January 10, 2019. I'm supposed to obtain a police report from Dubai and am a bit worried if this will affect my visa application to Canada. Can you please advise me? I seek your guidance on this matter. Thank you in advance!

Well you may have an issue depending on what the police certificate says. Being a criminal drug charge you may be inadmissible to Canada. Talk with a Canadian immigration lawyer for next steps.
