A very nice interview and I really like Mr Adnan's approach to life and self improvement. Very nice approach.

[@Valshah2976]

Excellent!! Life in Canada is really balanced. Work culture is very supportive and positive.

[@mianahmed4536]

I'm also moving from uk to dubai inshallah in few weeks time.

[@scorpionzi]

Great podcast, some great valuable experiences shared!

[@maamir4]

Canada is an amazing country, if you are doing well here. Some people may not have a good experience and that’s a total different story. Overall there is no comparison between the two when you look at the big picture. I have lived & seen both places and have met many people who have moved from dubai to canada and are very happy. Dubai is just like a 5 star hotel, you just check in, have some good time and leave - it’s not home.

[@kachrachi]

The last line was brilliant.

[@maamir4]

@@GLOVENT My friend - I don’t need to visit Canada bec I live in Canada. And Dubai is also a Great place for people like me on my Canadian Passport for visiting or working. But the reality is Dubai is just a Temporary place even if you live there for decades. We all use Dubai to make some tax free money & leave when the right time comes & for this gentleman that could be when his kids are ready for university. More people move from Dubai to Canada than Canada to Dubai - just a fact. No need to get defensive.

[@maamir4]

@@GLOVENT 💯% - I would do the same if I was in this gentleman’s situation. You take Canadian citizenship and then take the best opportunity, either that be in Canada, Dubai or Qatar. Yes Life has got tougher in the whole western world including Canada But now Dubai is on the same path & housing/rents are through the roof & cost of living very high. At the end of the day, each situation is unique but as a country I have no regrets for moving to Canada as I have done well here.

[@WaliKhanEnglish]

Everyone has different perspective - these discussions are only to present one side of the picture.

[@maamir4]

@@WaliKhanEnglish 100% Agreed - This is one of those topics where “ it all depends”. Great Content👍👏

[@saqeefavorites]

It all depends on Qismat…. Same happens with alot of people who come to Dubai to find work (THEY DONT EASILY FIND RELEVANT/EXPECTED JOB). I know many people who did find the Job and doing good in Canada. At least, people are not kicked out of country if you lose your Job! Like Dubai There are + and - of each country, it all depends on individual circumstances

Once one come out of 9-5 mindset, you will understand what Dubai has to offer.

[@Yaz674]

I understand. If you always take a pryer breaks, fasting while working, hut need a month off, and want sharia law in canada, them plz move to dubai or Saudi. Its better for you then to make a noise about halal food and praying in the street,

[@jiti5034]

Canada is a Grind ...ok.. Mid East is like film set, jazzy on first day , not sure when it will be pulled down,, so request is be more balanced most of your learned guest ignore the most important issue with Mid East NO PR never Forget Citizenship

[@Truenostalgic]

Till now best podcast of yours🎉

[@kachrachi]

In 5 years, the same KZbinr will be doing a video on 'Why I left Dubai'. Just make the most of your limited time in the Middle East to secure your future.

[@WaliKhanEnglish]

Hahahahaha. Everything is content at the end. However, once one comes out of 9-5 mindset, one will understand what Dubai has to offer.

[@radio_nowhere]

Dubai is great if you are rich. Canada is great if you are broke and depend on the govt handouts. Just become rich. It's the better option. 9-5 isn't going to get us there. 😊

Good useful content 👍

[@littleangel2900]

Not everyone is moving from Canada to Dubai, lots are moving from Dubai to other countries, reason mostly it is too hot and people stay indoors, very expensive, no nationality, and its true racial discrimination, lots of benefits for local but not same for immigrants, yes there is no tax but they make you spend money, rents are now very high, education very expensive, no good unis, remote working not allowed and a long list

Everyone has a different story. Stereotyping is not in anyone's favor.

Hi, i have been in Canada since i was a young boy, am a Citizen ofcourse. I and wife (both Citizens) have been thinking fo moving to dubai. We own a house and all. thinking of selling everything and moving to dubai. we do not have kids and have no plans to have kids (personal choice). I have been working for multi national firms as an IT professional, Azure system admin here in Canada. my wife has her own Hair salon for ladies. we are seriously considering wrapping up and leaving. we are tired of high taxes and culture here. I will appreciate any advice or idea's. is Dubai worth it? specially as Canadian citizens? are there oppertunities there? can i open a Ladies hair salon business there? what is better, sharjah, dubai or aby dahbi? My wife is of Labanese decent and speaks fluent arabic as well.

[@WaliKhanEnglish]

You sole motive to move to UAE is high taxes and cost of living in Canada? What are your plans once you are here in Dubai as it is not cheap living without sustainable source of income too.

[@jodijaanify]

@@WaliKhanEnglish Thank you for the reply. i was hoping to open a ladies only salon for my wife and for me, i was hoping to buy a 1bhk condo (Paid off) and do bed space rent business. Little information i could find online, these 2 made sense.

[@jiti5034]

@@jodijaanify Since you have a Canadian citizenship you can go back if things do not work in UAE , about getting a better job because you are Canadian citizen....h...m not sure if you can get only because of that. the employer must value your Canadian exp about that is locally available or from South and South eat Asia also your plan mentions How much income can you expect from 1bhk condo bed space rent business? also what about your own profession

Why are my comments not visible from yesterday?

which comments?

[@rabi_ahmed_canada]

When one leaves the luxurious life of Dubai (which is temporary) , for sure Canada would seem like a downgrade. But i guess once one settles in they do get somewhere before they can fulfill citizenship requirements. Then one can move elsewhere with better benefits. Those who cannot sustain tend to come back or what we call reverse immigration.

Who told you that you will find easy way out to get everything with red carpet when you moved to canada. You have to get in que

Dubai is very very small, its a city not a country , and no real economy

[@jiti5034]

There are some positives but Transient economy today real estate is HOT tomorrow!

If you take typical Indian engineer if he / she is interested in Long term staying outside of India then he/ she will first prefer to get western country and then at some point may be get a fat salary Ex pat Mid east position for few years AFTER getting western citizenship also Most Indians won't have the issue of Religion in to picture , adjusting to western pre dominant Christian country is not a big deal

You only get maternity when you're on the payroll. You won't get any benefits if you are contactor.

[@jiti5034]

Again and again why people from UAE compare apples to oranges , It is fair to compare Ex Pat opp within say UAE to Qatar and Between Canada and Australia... and again and again for all the [positives ( current) of UAE one does not have to look negatively at West,,, Race for Long race , UAE is like "make hey while sun shines "
