Wrong!

All intending immigrants have to submit a police clearance certificate. They cannot just take your word for it.

It doesn't matter if you have never been arrested or even had any dealings with the police! You must submit a police clearance certificate

Wrong again. Police certificates are not required for some places. And Pakistan is one such place.

It is due to the fact that Pakistan has no nationwide recording system for arrests and convictions and documents are therefore unreliable.
