Effective June 5, 2018, citizens of the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) will no longer require a visa to travel to Canada.
Like almost all other non-visa nationals (the most notable exception being U.S. citizens), U.A.E. citizens will require only an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before flying to Canada, once the change comes into effect.
This removal of the visa requirement does not change any other considerations concerning temporary entry such as whether a work permit is required in a particular case, and issues of inadmissibility.
