How to find a job in Dubai from Canada?

Hi there,

I'm hoping someone can help me. I live and work in Canada but I'd like to move to Dubai.

Is it difficult to find a job before moving?

I have 5 years of HR experience and a university degree.

Can anyone recommend some recruiters I could get in touch with.

Thanks!

Hi there,

My husband and I reside in Toronto and are also interested in obtaining jobs in Dubai! Have you found anyone who is helping you? Should we apply from Canada for a job? Any suggestions you have will be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time,

Hi there,

I've not had much success with my reply. I have spoken to a few people however, and overall they say that it's much more difficult to find a job from Canada. I also spoke with a recruiter who stated the same.

One friend mentioned that individuals with a university degree but no work experience overall took about 1 month to find employment in Dubai. Also, I've seen numerous positions where they specifically state that they are seeking a Westerner.

Hope this info. helps!

Hello,

There are many recruitment agencies that you can go through to secure a job when i reach Dubai next week i shall forward them to you, however, HR posts are planned to be dedicated and assigned to locals only in the future but you can sign for it because there are chances to be hired for the time being.

Hi

I am a Technical Support Specialist currently working in Markham Canada. I am planning to move with family
to AbuDhabi. Me and my wife are confused about the Job market,cost of living and so on i.e not sure whether we could get a good job.

If some one know good recruiters or could share their experiences with respect to job market,local accomodation
or anyother info could be very helpful for us to make our decision of moving .

Thanks

The safest way is to secure a job promise before you pack for Dubai.
Try contacting employers and post resume on reputable job sites such as Dubai Jobs Network

Thanks Fahim for your reply.

I think if you have experiences, It is very easy to find a job in Canada. Don't worry, it will be fine
