Version 2019 - Guide to Police Clearance Certificate from the UAE

[yiso91]

Thank you Yiso for the information. I have few questions regarding the PCC, I would appreciate if you can answer those.
a) I have registered myself in the app of ministry of interior affairs. When I am clicking on the criminal status and adding a new form, then on entering all the details, the page goes for the payment and there I am seeing the cost for good conduct certificate but I want police clearance certificate.
b) Is good conduct certificate same as police clearance certificate? If no, then what should I do to get the PCC.
c) When I tried on Dubai police website, 2 options are coming up. One for PCC and another for good conduct. If both are same, then why 2 options are coming and for Canada PR which one we should opt for?

Thanks in advance in anticipation of your reply.

Dubai Police and MOI have different names for the same product. both would work and both are accepted by IRCC , choose the one that you like and that is more convenient for you

Then try out the second option as I explained

Hi, Just to follow up on this in case anyone else is in the same situation. I contacted the UAE Embassy in Ottawa about the big red stamp saying "Please refer to the UAE Diplomatic Missions Abroad or Customer Happiness Centers of Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation." They told me that I have to get it notarized and sent me a link to fill up the form, upload the PCC that i got in email and pay the fees. Within a week I was told to go to the embassy to pick the PCC up. The new one doesn't have the red stamp and instead has a stamp from ministry of interior and a signature.

Hi @yiso91 /Other team member,

I am applying the PCC from Dubai Police website and entering all details like - Outside UAE, Emirates Id - Yes, Mobile Number - Current country mobile number, Certification Purpose - Immigration, Certification Required by - Embassy of Canada and attaching photo, passport and last visa.

When I submit it and then on next page it is asking me to enter the delivery address. I am wondering why?? I need the online copy.

Is these details are just for record and they will send the soft copy or I will receive the hard copy at the address mentioned by me in that form.

Delivery Details(Registered Mail) - Where it is asking me Country, City, Postal Code.

Thanks,
Anil

They might have changed their system recently, you will need to fill these fields anyway to be able to obtain your PCC and for POBOX number fill in your postal code/zip code where you live.

Another option is to get it through MOI, which only provide eDelivery for outside of UAE customers

Yes, I understand that but I was wondering since Dubai police issue the PCC via email so why now they are asking for current address.

no you don't . IRCC only require the PCC as is without any additional endorsements and/or attestation on top of it.

I am Sharjah resident but I submitted criminal clearance certificate issued by ministry of interior UAE and attested by ministry of foreign affairs UAE. Will IRCC accept it? Or should I get police clearance from Sharjah Police?

Any PCC issued by any of the seven emirates will be acceptable just as much as it is for MOI.
