which area in canada did you ship your stuffs to?
was it 90 days or 60 days?
90 days is late ....because these guys always advertise and say it will take 60days.

They told us within 90 days but it took exactly 70 days, Toronto.

I think self drop is not open now a days.
You can use any courier service Aramex is not necessary.
Using VFS is also not necessaary.
Whatever courier or dropping way of passport you choose, your passports will be stamped according to your turn.
If they will be stamped in Abudhabi you will get it in 15 days or so. And if Abudhabi office sends your passport to London office then it can take upto a month or more.

Hope this helps

your question depends on your circumstance:
1. Whos is paying for the shipment? you or your employer? If its you then no need to ship, just go with the necessary things that you can.Sell off all your property here.

2. How new or elegant or expensive are the property? ........if its not so majestic.....then no need

google shipping agents,there are so many of them. you cant say which is cheaper because it all depends on individual and what your shipping. I will advice you to invite all the shipping agents that you can get in UAE to come to your house and give you quotation, then you can decide on shipment/or no shipment

I have done some research on sending stuff to Canada, anybody interested can call me to discuss 055 5510662

Demand Draft:
Greetings Dubai Applicants, need your assistance, I got to know that Demand Draft to Canada has been cancelled? We are not able to do Demnd Draft to Canada, is there any ways to send our funds without carrying cash? Is there any other options aside from Bank/Demand Draft?
Thanks!

Who told u that Demand Draft is cancelled? I have opened a Canadian Dollar account in one of UAE banks and converted my dirhams in dollars as the rate is good now. At the time of departure I'll make a DD from my dollar account and take it with me.

don't send the "original documents" to WES, rather send a copy; alongside with that your college/university have to send directly to WES copy of your TOR/Diploma on a sealed envelope. once you selected and registered through WES the instruction on how to submit the papers is mentioned.

hope that helps

I wonder what happened to the successful immigrants now living the new life in CANADA. Do they fare well?
I hope some of them could update us too..

I am now in the process of conditioning my mind in the event I be successful, though I know it is a long way to go.
However, I have also read through some stories of frustration and disappointment and wishing to come back to Dubai. I also know a few people (families and bachelors) who went there, stayed a couple of years and came back to Dubai merely because of compensation issues, something to them CANADA wasn't able to offer.

I am single, in my early thirties and been in Dubai for a decade now. earning above average I guess (well i am living comfortably) no family neither friends in Canada, but I braved to apply and consider to actually move there and willing to leave my high Dubai life and start anew in the vast lands of Canada. But after going through different stories, I think I am a bit confused now. I'm probably scared of the uncertain future, well ofcourse no one knows what the future holds for anyone of us right? But I'm scared still.

I hope some successful immigrants could share there ups and downs, that would be a very big help.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks Dubai forumites!....

This is your money, so you can take it anywhere. ADCB should offer this service if it you can check with ENBD.
Earlier I made a DD for a friend going to Canada from my account and it worked.
