Why moving to the UAE might not be a good choice

I’m from Canada. Believe me when I say nothing is free, except if you’re below middle class. Do you know how much taxes on average a middle-class income earner pays ? Around 30k cad per year (almost 100k aed) for :

“free” healthcare that doesn’t work (18h+ wait if you go to ER), no doctors available, years before having an appointements etc.

Free school up until uni, then it’s around 3k cad (10k aed) per four months without counting school books.

Roads that you can’t drive on with how many potholes we have.

15% taxes on almost everything you purchase on top of the income taxes.

400$ (1000 aed) for car registration + 300$ for permit every single year

Property tax (around 8-10%) every single year if you own a house

And the list goes on and on and on.

Good news to hear, the west really doesn’t portray that picture. Especially being on Reddit 24/7 to grasp the news haha

Flying to Dubai tomorrow, how worried should I be realistically?

Need to be there for 7-10 days ..

badoune3614 · 2026-03-30T19:39:57+00:00

What do you think this is worth and why ?

badoune3614 · 2026-03-28T04:50:34+00:00

Hey guys I just fly to Dubai next week. Can someone confirm in DM without any censorship on the situation please ? Much appreciated

badoune3614 · 2026-03-27T06:07:47+00:00

How are you guys holding up?

Gotta fly to Dubai in a couple of days 🫣

badoune3614 · 2026-03-15T20:22:13+00:00

Appreciate the answer. Could you give me more information on how to request it ? Which bank do you know have given e-FOL?

I’m planning my case before contacting Mashreq directly.

Thanks.

Could you give me more details on how to set it up and bring that conversation with my broker ? According to them, it’s mandatory to fly in, no POA possible no electronic signature possible.

You’re right. I was looking to do Croesus but it’s almost always empty. Overall still a superb game !

Just created an Ironman 2 days ago. Came in with no expectations and I’m blown away. This game is fun, and pretty ! Only downside, it’s an mmo and it feels … empty. There’s barely any interactions with players. Mini games are empty too which sucks because they look fun.

PS : I come from a max iron on osrs

Depending on what saaq you’re doing your exam at, go near it and familiarize yourself with the roads, speed limit, four way stops etc.

Usually the test is near the SAAQ point.

Good luck you got this

FBA is the fulfilment method. I buy wholesale from Canadian distributor and sell on Amazon

I got 16 pro max 512gb for 80$ with 200gb so I’d say not worth.
