Hi Fayz Article 40 Where the parties to the contract continue - after expiry of its initial term or completion of the work agreed upon - to perform the contract without explicit agreement, the original contract shall be deemed to have been extended on the same conditions except for the term. Articl...

True, however I seem to recall that if the employee does not give notice of his intentions to end the contract (even though the contact is due to terminate), the employer can expectedly assume that the contract will simply be extended; the same applies from the employees side, if the employer give h...

Your original mail prompted me to write that long posting below regarding tips on looking for potential employers and other odds and ends. Have a read through it as well, some items may not apply in your situation though.

good luck!

The easiest way to approach this is to ask them what they are offering and then evaluate it against some of the other pointers posted on the forum: Take into account tax free nature of the earnings (not sure if you’re subject to taxation in Canada on foreign earnings) The high cost of accommodation ...

Quite a heafty bill as well, Fayz, you may have to get a second job to pay off all your consultation expenses

Difficult question depends on the employer and depth of his pockets. As a guess I'd say look at between 35 and 40 k (AED) starting per month. I may be way off, but this seems like a pretty good starting point. Alternatively negotiate 25 - 30 k per month with expenses (car allowance, accommodation al...

Hi there, The UAE labour law is a federal law issued by the federal government, however as the UAE is a federation, it is up to the individual emirate to determine how exactly the law will be implemented, or if they prefer not implemented. In Dubai there are many examples of this, such as life impri...

Hi there, Look at one of the lists above, it gives the names of some reputable recruitment agencies. If they ask you for a registration fee then they are basically up to no good; the norm in the UAE is that a prospective employer will pay the recruitment agency for the placement of a candidate - in ...

On September 17th they said to me that you will have to leave the country immediately because there will be checking from the labor dep, and said that they will be sending me my employment visa on first weak or second weak of October. Now aim in my home country . the first thing is to notify your p...

Acutually I'd like to take you up on the Aussie info. I have been offered a position in Perth as well as another in Dubai (again). Iv'e visited Australia before, but am a little unsure on some of the minor aspects regarding relocating and living there. Would you mind if I mailed you?

Who’s the registered sponsor of the company, the president of the company? The registered UAE national partner or owner is the person who has to sign the NOC, this is the same person who sponsored your residency visa. If it is a large company you may find the president of the company is not necessar...

A visit visa will be issued to you normally for a period of 30 days (depending on your nationality). http://www.dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=14415 Once you have secured and offer of employment from an employer they will then start the process of labour application and residency application on you...

It's quite legal for a tennant to give one month's notice even if the contract is not complete. You will possibly loose a month's rental, but the landlord is obliged to refund the balance of the outstanding rent and any post-dated cheques. If he try's to tell you that you will loose the balance of t...

Looks like NOC rule is going to severely restrict anyone thinking of changing jobs within dubai. I talked to many HR people and all of them agree that there is little that can be done about it. NOC can not be over ruled for financial considerations. I have already resigned from my present job after...

I have to point out that "bans" are not a new thing in Dubai, the UAE or the rest of the GCC. Actually in the past the ban system has been a lot hasher than what it currently is and was almost impossible to circumvent. While I don't personally condone some of the business practices; what y...

ooops.... my mistake!

i miss-read 6 months for 6 years... must be all the dates and water i'm gorging myself on

just remember most electrical goods in canda run off 110v, dubai runs on 220v

dbxsoul

i'm sure that canada runs 110v as well, don't they share a common power grid?

another headache to look forward to in the future is moving it all back again, been through that and its a real pain!

dbxsoul

yes, i've never heard anything to the contrary. there's also a apparently "consultants visa" that you could look at getting through the FZ although it may be a little costly, and there are restrictions on what you can do and where - but it may provide a little flexability if you were wanti...

as for the job sucking ... well, try and cover as many bases as possible before you sign on the dotted line

howdy fayz ..... or should it be "buenas noches" 30 days from the date that the cancellation is stamped in the passport. after that they start fining you 100 aed per day. i assume from the previous bits of info in your posting that there is a mrs fayz and a babmibino fayz as well - remembe...

dbxsoul

yep, company license has to be done first. if they can get that sorted then the residency process could get pushed through in a day.

the fine kicks in from day 31.

haha, i know the storey about waiting for the passport to arrive.

BTW congratulations

most of the media companies are based in one of the Free Zones... aptly named "Media city" - very original name, but there is is.

I assume you'll be looking at a 2 or 3 br house? rental from about 120 - 150k per annum (springs/ meadows area) services (water/ electricity) probably in the region of 600 per month depending on your a/c and water usage. schooling is quiet expensive as well, depends what school you plan on putting y...

Yes, basically an annual maintenance levy, this does however depend on where you are staying and who you are renting through. The normal issue with new arrivals is the presentation of payment for rental. Normally rental is payable, annually in advance. This is normally done through a process of post...

Try looking at these sites for an indication of the renatals:

Better Homes: http://www.bhomes.com/
Ateco Properties: http://www.asteco.com/web/index.html?

These are not the only property companys in the area, but two of the older more reputable companies.
