I want to visit canada for a month on my vacation coming december (Dec 2006) i have my friends family who is ready to send me an invitation and i have about 33,000AED FD which will be matured on DEC 7 and altogether my bank balance would be 40,000AED+ by then,and my employer will give me all necessary papers.am Indian and working here in Dubai for the last 1year+ and i hold a valid Dubai-Uae residence permit valid till 2009,what are the chances that i can get a visit visa (invited ofcourse),if am eligible can i apply for a multiple entry or a single entry,i plan to stay there for 45days just to see some places and may be after i might apply for a canada immigration in the future by the time my contract with my employer is over.am a Graphic designer by profession.i need some solid answers for this case.becoz i read many articles and its really got only the slightest clue,i wonder if no one had ever travelled from uae to canada or if ever some one did really apply for a visit visa ??

Well. thats good that u got a residence permit of Dubai, UAE
& dont worry... take it easy
1- Make sure u have the invitation from ur friends or family relatives.
2- Make sure u have a original copy of , ur working place, ur bank statement... the AED 33,000-40,000 (Canadian $9,979-12,096) seems just fine to Satisfy the canadian Immigration officer, that u can support ur hoildays... Please dont tell them much about ur future plans & they may think that u will go there & stay 4ever as an Illegal Immigrate & than they mite reject ur visa 4 Canada.
3- Dont be panic... or show any unwanted looks... just be cool & answer the officer any question he asks, but dont talk too much unwanted stuff only short & no long explainations...please!!!
4- Book ur tickets & get ready to fly!!!... theres a direct flight to toranto on Etihad Airways.
HOPE DIS HELPS!
-CHEERS :)

Just contact the Canadian embassy http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/abudhabi/contact-dubai-en.asp.
They will be able to tell you how to visit. As far as immigration I don't know but I think you can check the shorage lists. The thing is that they don't recognize some professions when they come from other countries but you never know. My husband immigrated as a chef. You may want to talk to an immigration lawyer.
