Asma Ahmed - | Arab News

On June 5, 2018, the Canadian government took the step of strengthening friendly relations and enhancing cooperation between the United Arab Emirates and Canada, and as part of this initiative, residents of the United Arab Emirates were granted visa waivers when visiting Canada.

United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates occupies an important and central place in the economic and trade interactions between these two countries. The UAE hosts more than 150 Canadian companies and accommodates more than 40,000 Canadian citizens, and plays a key role. Therefore, streamlining the process of entry of UAE citizens and residents into Canada is of great importance.

1. Promotion of economic exchange:

Enabling visa waiver is an incentive to enhance Canada's investment and employment opportunities, thereby enhancing economic cooperation between the two countries.

2. Promotion of tourism and trade:

The visa waiver not only simplifies UAE citizens to Canada, but also increases the prospects for tourism and business interactions, enhancing the movement of investments and business activities between the two countries.
