Agreed to captain 100%. In addition to that just ask yourself a question; if you have a severe road accident (God Forbid); do you want to go to lockup even if it is not your mistake? For sure not. Justice is one of the key factor...
Having said that; no doubt Dubai gives a quality life style with modernization. But what if my job on Dubai is finished today (by any chance)? Kull-u-Tamam? Answer is self explanatory!!!!

Every one here is right, Canada is a lot better than Dubai (at least form the stories we heard from seniors and in our personal life), similarly UAE is a lot better than our home land that is why despite all the Odds people dont want to go back to home county until they are not left with any choice or option.

Buddies ! there is no comparison between any of gulf country and American Countries....... what you can do in a humid weather even if you have enough money or luxury car or whatever ..... Education is weired (You pay much more for poor education ) , job insecurity , unjustified business rules (Kafeel System , he / she can kick you out at any time and you have to feed their families as well on monthly or yearly bases ),you did not become a manager by experience but by luck or reference or other illegal resources, Can't Upgrade you Education Actually here you spoil your attitude (You become arrogant and angry man) ..........don't want to discuss further all of us knows the details ......... Qorax has already expressed Canada life very well ....... so i think moral of this story should be ..............."LIVING 100 YEARS IN A GULF COUNTRY IS BETTER THAN LIVING 1 MONTH THERE IN CANADA"

Why compare? UAE gave you the opportunity to work and save for your canadian dreams.
We should be thankful to this country that we earn more than in our own country of origin
Sometimes people tend to be ungrateful whereas if not for dubai and abudhabi or any gcc
countries they can hardly save for their POF for their canadian dreams.

Working in a large hospital in Abu Dhabi gave me and other healthcare professionals of different
nationalities opportunities of enhancing our respective professions while saving a lot for this
canadian dream. If approved, I will definitely thank the government of UAE and its people so
I can start a new life in canada with a thankful and grateful heart.

PIOLO wow GR8, Wonderfull, very inspiring statement, you 10000% right, if we are comparing UAE & Canada thats not mean we dont respect UAE, we do and what ever today we are becuase of United Arab Emirates & it is 100% right and today becuase of UAE we can dream about Canada and what ever we have in UAE that may be we canot in our OWN Country. We Respect UAE, we Respect & Love Sheikh Zyed, Sheikh Khalifah, Sheikh Mohammad and every one,
But the question is Why we are doing Comparision between UAE and CANADA becuase we need to see that should we take a step to Canada or not if we get a chance, every body need to see the +ve and -ve Points. we are not doing comparision in -ve sense.
Think + and DO +ve
