Police Clearance for Canada

If you are working in Qatar and planning to move to Canada for another promising job, Police Clearance is one of the requirements needed to accomplish aside from all other documents.

You will need:

My husband is definitely not my dream man.I snobbed him the first time we were introduced to each other and continued watching finding ''Nemo" . I thought he was ugly,arrogant and not my type even if he is an American . After a month,our common friend told him to call me because I was bored and needed somebody to talk to. We started talking over the phone until finally he asked for a date without an idea that we already met before .The rest was history and we ended up being married after a month. It was a wirlwind romance and everything happened so fast .I actually have a fiancee back in the US preparing for our paperworks for a fiancee visa but things did not push through when I met my hubby. I broke up with him through email.I know it would be very hard for him but it is better that way than just stop communicating with him.I have no regret being married for more than 6 years now ,he may not be my dream man but he made me feel that I am his only dream girl and the sunshine of his life.

Who among us never had a dream man when we were younger? I started dreaming of a man I will marry back in high school days.My mind was focused on marrying a foreigner, American to be specific .In fact ,I had pen pal's already even if I hardly compose a letter.
Then in college, I thought of marrying a pilot, a high ranking military man or a lawyer. But things really happens the way you want it to be coz I got married to an Arab who was not my dream man and ended up in a divorced after 2 years of marriage.My marriage life with him was hell so I told myself not to marry another one from the Middle East ever again. I was dreaming of marrying again someday but this time it is either an American or a Japanese( I find them romantic and loving).While working in KSA, I met an American who was my dream man but the wedding did not push through for some reason. He is the man behind my Wind Beneath My Wings post.
Broken hearted, I went to Qatar for a job but still not losing hope to meet somebody again who is willing to spend life with me for the rest of our lives .Luckily, I found my loving husband who is now sleeping and snoring(lakas humilik-chismis mode) beside me.

Qatar

Qatar was my home for 7 years, a small but rich country in GCC. A place full of hope and dreams among OFW like me. I first landed in this country on July 28, 2003, fell in love, got married on 2004 and the rest was history. My favorite shopping mall is City Center, Villagio Mall and of course for food stuff Lulu Hypermarket followed by Family Food Center.

Qatar also known as the State of Qatar or locally Dawlat Qatar is headed by Emir H.H Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and his son Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. Doha is the capital of Qatar and the largest city.The country is boarded by Saudi Arabia to the south and surrounded by the Persian Gulf which separates it from Bahrain. Qatar is an oil- and gas-rich nation, with the third largest gas reserves and the highest GDP per capita in the world.

An absolute monarchy, Qatar has been ruled by the al-Thani family since the mid-1800s and has since transformed itself from a poor British protectorate noted mainly for pearling into an independent state with significant oil and natural gas revenues.During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Qatari economy was crippled by a continuous siphoning off of petroleum revenues by the Emir, who had ruled the country since 1972. His son, the current Amir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, overthrew him in a bloodless coup in 1995. In 2001, Qatar resolved its longstanding border disputes with both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.(wikipedia)
