Can't get a Kuwaiti Police Check

[Kingsrish 41]

Hello, 

So I am currently waiting for an interview at the Montreal embassy , I was dq in Feb of this year. I have all of my documents in order , but I don't have my Kuwaiti police check( I worked there for 5 years). Unfortunately , I can't apply for it either because once you are no longer a resident you are not able to get one done. I spoke to my lawyer about it and he said the it "should" be fine , but this has me on edge. 

 

What should I do? Is there an alternative form that I can fill out?

Thank you! I am soo worried that they will ask for one, and I won't have it to give/ can't get it.

Print out a copy of the website and the information that Geowrian has listed above and take it with you to your interview.  I had to do this, too, when I came through, as the manual used by the Case Officers had not been updated to reflect my country's process.

 

You may not need it, but it is better to have it with you in case your examiner starts to question things.

 

Best of luck!
