    Police Clearance (PCC) from UAE when you don't have the ID and any copy of your last residence in UAE

    I should add that, if you decide to write to Dubai police, use this email address: التحريات - التصاريح والشهادات <certificate@dubaipolice.gov.ae> I think you can omit the Arabic :) The address I have given is one of several I have. It was the source of the most useful information. If you...

    Police Clearance (PCC) from UAE when you don't have the ID and any copy of your last residence in UAE

    The friend in Dubai might be an ace in the hole. An approach might be to write to Dubai police and ask if the friend can attend at their office as agent, and bring a fingerprint card for your wife from Singapore, any photos required, copy of current passport, apostilled or whatever, along with...

    Police Clearance (PCC) from UAE when you don't have the ID and any copy of your last residence in UAE

    I won't say she must go to Dubai. In fact, probably not. In our case, we grew weary of runaround, roadblocks, false leads, etc. Persistence was not well rewarded. On the other hand, my correspondence directly with Dubai police was encouraging. So, in the end, we decided "to fight no more...

    Police Clearance (PCC) from UAE when you don't have the ID and any copy of your last residence in UAE

    Good morning catapv (at least it's 7:30 a.m. where I am in Canada). I just now saw your responses to what I have written. I'll provide what reply I can now and think a bit more about a few things, to come back later. I'll deal with this one now. I understand your concern about point #3. It...

    GCMS NOTES WELL EXPLAINED HAS NEVER BEFORE UNTIL NOW

    I think I just might follow up with MP, as you suggest. I enjoyed pompous lawyer anecdote. Me, I try to rein in my pomposity, lest it backfire as per your anecdote :) Something else I just noticed in the notes. Page 13 that I detailed, sets out my visits to the Phils to be with my wife...

    GCMS NOTES WELL EXPLAINED HAS NEVER BEFORE UNTIL NOW

    Thank you so much @armoured for your insightful comments. Both helpful and reassuring. I did not see anywhere "REVIEW TYPE". The notes I have quoted are on page 13 of 18 pages. Immediately preceding what I quoted (from the top of p13), there appears, at the bottom of P. 12, the following...

    New TRV measures from IRCC for spouses having sponsorship application

    You are in luck. There's a Philippines Statistics Authority office there: PSA Building, Diosdado Macapagal Gov't Center Barangay Maimpis, City of San Fernando, Pampanga 2000 You can walk in without an appointment. You each fill out a form (take your passports and any Phils ID your wife has)...

    GCMS NOTES WELL EXPLAINED HAS NEVER BEFORE UNTIL NOW

    Thanks again. By the way, do you happen to know what the initialism "NRT" means? It appears in the notes a number of times.

    GCMS NOTES WELL EXPLAINED HAS NEVER BEFORE UNTIL NOW

    Thanks comarxx. But I am a bit concerned about what the notes (received yesterday) reveal. I am not sure of what to make about the lack of IRCC records of my previous marriage. Of course, if they did a name search with the misspelled name, I am not surprised they found nothing. And I don't...

    Spousal sponsorship

    It may well be that NOA was all that was asked. BUT, if the IRCC wants more, better to comply. I doubt you want to argue with them. That would not enhance your prospects for success in your application.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Then, unless there is some reason why it's unobtainable, I'd say get it and pass it on to your lawyer.

    New TRV measures from IRCC for spouses having sponsorship application

    Where will you be in the Phils? I asked before and maybe you have a reason for not saying. If I know where you plan to be, I'll be better able to tell about time to get Cenomar.

    Spousal sponsorship

    I suppose the guidance would be to provide what is asked. Is there a reason why not? And, if you have a lawyer acting for you, what guidance has the lawyer offered?

    Police Clearance (PCC) from UAE when you don't have the ID and any copy of your last residence in UAE

    It looks like this poster has posed his question in more than one section of the forum. I replied to it under Family Class. It appears the OP may be a PNP applicant. Anyway, the multiple posts will likely generate replies kinda' spread around and not all who reply will see all other...

    New TRV measures from IRCC for spouses having sponsorship application

    I am an honourary Filipino, for having spent so much time there! Kidding aside, I think you will find, as we did, that you will have to provide a Cenomar. It's a certification from the Phils Statistics Authority that you are not in their records as married. If you are a foreigner and marry...

    I wonder if anyone here has any ideas about that which turned up in our GCMS notes, including: Sponsor was previously married to JJ. Divorce certificate on file. Declared sponsorship for a JJ. I note however that this person has no UCI/ is not in GCMS; Date of separation Feb2021. The...

    New TRV measures from IRCC for spouses having sponsorship application

    I married my Filipina wife in the Philippines in April 2022. I have heard of the "Statement in Lieu" but was never asked for it. Both my wife and I had had to provide Cenomars. That should be enough.
