Wondering about the rent prices in dubai, how much for a two bedroom apartment?and how hard is it to get a bank account set up to deposit money paid by employer and transfer back home ?

a two bedroom apartment will cost 130,000 dihams/year (about CDN $36,000).
You also need to be aware that they usually expect upfront payment for the entire year. If you want to pay monthly. expect the rent to jump to 150K-ish.

Getting a bank account is easy. Your company will setup a salary account and all banks provide international transfers (at a cost).
