But no, they prefer to fly more than 14 hours, all the way from the freezer to live in the oven. Like the Europeans and Americans; the Canadians are also equally involved in rising the rate of unemployment within the Emaraat.

My understanding to as why so many Arabs have Canadian passports is that they are easier to come by than most other popular western countries, and that they are preparing to bail out of here when:

- Oil runs out
- Clerics take over the whole region
- They have made enough money to leave

(delete as necessary).

You can have all of the money in the world - but it doesn't mean you have any power

You need to get a US or British passport for that

Highly amusing - and also quite disturbing.

1, This guy has never heard of global and economic migration? Clearly not - it's only been going on for hundreds of years in all parts of the world. Yes - the only answer is clearly that they hate Canada. What else could it possibly be.

2, It's quite disturbing that this appears to be the genuine mindset of many Emiratis - that they are contributing to rising unemployment. They hate their country so they come to ours and take our jobs (jobs we Emiratis didn't want to do anyway but hey, we'll complain about them ) No point in looking in the mirror regarding your rising unemployment - even when Shk Mo points the finger at lazy Emiratis you don't listen - when you can conveniently blame someone else eh?

Social problems - that'll be the West, unemployment - damn expats

strange!
That is not quite true Miss Behave, they usually call themselves Lebonese american, British american, Arab American. That is what i have found to be true in my time here very rarely do they denounce their true nationality!

hi rumble tumble! i hear what your saying - however, those of us who have been here for a while don't call ourselves british emirati etc. i'm sure what you're saying is true of arabs here but in western countries i dont think they refer to their country of origin as much.

they come here because the region has such a high demand for educated, qualified people - they're offered good money, hence ensuring a good future once they go home.

HAHAHAHAA!

You are saying that those 'Gardners' from Holland who come here and get Jobs as Landscape Architects General Manager are Qualified???!!


Say that to someone who is sitting on the internet with no real life experince and those who donot use their Intellectuals. Not to me!


And for your information;

I was watching a program on Discovery about Forensic Detectives, and most of the Researchers and doctors on the show were all Arabs/Iraqis and Indian muslims.


A friend of mine was treated for cancer at a Worlds top cancer treatment center in london, Guess what? His Doctor was a pakistani.


So dont tell me you are coming here to improve UAE, while your country is being improved by Expats.

Do you have a Phd in making sweeping statements?

One person you know was treated by a doctor of pakistani descent (most likely educated in London), and one Discovery show used (according to you) mainly Arabs, Iraqis and Indian Muslims? This does not really constitute a good argument.

One other question (and there may be an obvious answer) - how could you tell on the Discovery show that they were Arab, Iraqi or Indian Muslim (not just Indian)?
