The fastest way to get the PCC from UAE is to contact UAE Embassy in India and they will give you best instructions & requirments on how to get the PCC.inder76 said:Folks,
I've a good news on my parents application. I got medical request and PCC request for 2 countries, India and Dubai (UAE) on June 17. Approval was received on March 24 with file transfer to Ottawa. So looks like they are making progress with all Ottawa applications and others waiting shall get good news soon.
I have one question where i need your opinion about PCC for Dubai. My parents lived in Dubai (UAE) for many years and left that country for good in August 2006 and settled back in India. AFAIK, PCC is required from any country where you have lived for more than 6 months in the last 10 years and in my parents case, 10 years will complete in another 2 months. I have read in various forums that getting PCC from Dubai is extremely painful process and in cases it has taken months to get PCC according to some posts.
I am going to go ahead and apply PCC from Dubai but in case i am not able to provide the PCC in 45 days (which is a deadline given by Ottawa), what are the options and what steps do you suggest i should take. Ottawa has mentioned in the letter if documents are not received with in given date, decision will be made based on available documents. Do you think Ottawa could perhaps waive PCC requirement from Dubai or consider it "no so important" as it will be over then 10 years period by August 2016?
I am confident of submitting PCC request for India much before the timeline though.
Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks,
Inder
Better to send your request by express courier to UAE Police Department to save time, because UAE will reply by regular mail. It would be a good idea if you put a covering letter with the requirments mentioning that you have deadline to submit it to Canadian Authorities. I am writing this based on our experience, we ae Lebanese who lived in UAE, Good Luck
