I have already obtained my PCC from India through Consulate General of India. Do I even have to get Canadian PCC?

How to obtain a police certificate - Canada

Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence?
Only in certain cases. The Canadian visa office will tell you if you need a Canadian criminal record check while your application is being processed.

You don't have toapply for Canadian Police record unless asked for..They will usually ask for one if they have a matching name in database...while u r application is in process.

Re: Police Clearance - UAE

I presently reside in Canada and need to get police clearance certificate from Dubai for Canadian permanent residence. I am not sure if Dubai police will accept original fingerprint form (issued by RCMP, Ottawa) or a notarized photocopy of fingerprint form.....Can anyone share your experience?

As far as you get it its ok. You doesn't have to get it from specific place. Say for instance, you went to India and got Indian PCC from India then it will work, no doubt about it, or say If you are in Toronto then you don't have any option to get Indian PCC except applying for it from General Consulate of India. What is more important is you have to have it.

Hope this helps :)

you will have to get a pcc from dubai. i am from dubai too. i got pcc from dubai. yes thy will accept the fingerprints form issued from here. and then u need to get it stamped by ministry of foreign affairs in ottawa and then stamped by uae embassy in ottawa, after which you need to mail them to dubai police.
i suggest you find a friend who can help you out in submitting the fingerprints on your behalf. its faster and easier.

Hi Mansari,
Thanks for ur prompt reply. I am aware of the stamping at the Dept of Foreign affairs and the UAE embassy in Ottawa. My question is should the fingerprint form be original (certified by RCMP) or a notarized photocopy of the fingerprint form (obtained from any Canadian local police station) will do?

the original cant be notarized..hence the photocopy is notarized and named as "certified true copy"...I was told that it should be accepted for authentication and legalization
