Police Clearance for Canadian Immigration

Pls advice me how to obtain police clearance certificate (PCC) for my stay in Qatar. Canadian immigration asks for police clearance from each country where you have stayed more than 6 months. I'm a Sri Lankan (also with Sri Lankan passport) and need to get a PCC for my stay in Qatar. I came to Qatar August 2008 and i'm having the PCC issued by Sri Lanka Police Dept. in June 2008 addressing to Qatar Embassy when I'm coming here.

I saw some of the Q&A on QL. But i prefer to have more and excat information. Thanks.

First thing you should do:

1. Get your passport from your employer and go to your Sri Lankan Embassy together with your Police Clearance from your home country.

2. Once authenticated by your Embassy, your Police Clearance will be authenticated by Department of Foreign Affairs here (corniche area). Amount of fee is QR 30.00 to be paid by Card only.

3. Go to CID Office to get your PCC upon submission of the Police Clearance from your home country properly authenticated by your Embassy and DFA here.

All you have to do is to go to the CID with a passport copy and ID copy and apply for PCC there. They will ask you for the PCC issued from your country in order to issue you one. You can get your country's PCC once you get the Qatari one.

The PCC of your country must be attested by your embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar before going to CID, otherwise, they will not accept it.
