Give your Canadian houses on rent and live a luxury life in Dubai...... that's my opinion Benefits.....in Dubai are 1. near to India 2. Luxury life 3. safest city 4. all kinds of food availability 5. night life 6. lower cost of living ❤
I do find it funny that people - and by that I mean Indians - ttry to compare a whole country like India, US, Canada or Australia with Dubai. The UAE also has Sharjah & Abu Dhabi and is not just the shopping capital of the world.
Agree, but many people don’t know about UAE, that’s why everyone mention Dubai for the sake of understanding.. if u saw our first video of Dubai series, nobody in Amy’s class knew about Dubai also.. UAE is famous in Asian side of people..have met many people here who don’t even know that Dubai is an emirate in a country
First of all really nice analysis.. The very fact that so many people who have moved out of Dubai, reconsider coming back is in itself talks about what they have been missing out on life and the values bought in by Dubai. I don’t think anyone moving to Dubai from another big city would even compare going back once settled in Dubai. Few facts 1. Dubai gives you the privilege of enjoying life on a much wider time - you can go out doing your grocery shopping/ dine out / night life, etc at late night hours that too with the best security in the world. So you have a much better outdoor life 2. You also have the privilege of enjoying better social life by getting domestic help that frees up your work on domestic chores. I am sure many of us with kids and both parents working need that extended help. 3. Work life balance mainly depends on where you work, how well you manage work. It totally depends on your role and skillset 4. Most important aspect is kids being settled and as a parent you never want to disrupt that. After 12 standard, kids anyways is going to settle down on thier own with a college system. When at job, Doesn’t really matter where are we based at that time. They will have thier own home, social life, etc. Just like we immigrants / NRIs are settled with parents in India. 3.
Welcome back, Amy, Shilpa, and Amit! You all are amazing-thank you for going above and beyond to show us Dubai. Your openness and willingness to share have been incredibly helpful, giving my family a perspective that truly resonates with your family's mindset. We also wanted to share how much we love Canada and truly feel it’s probably the best country. While economics is important, it’s not the only measure that defines a place. Feeling at home matters, and Canada feels like home to us as well. Keep up the fantastic work!
Hi Shilpa and Amit, Thank you for giving us your reasons about not moving back to Dubai. I agree with everything you said, especially as a person who grew up in Dubai, who went to university in Canada and later went back to Dubai. My kids were born there and went to school for a few years there until we moved to Canada. It has been 8 years since we have been here, and I don't see myself moving back for the same reasons. My kids like their life here. In my heart, Dubai will always be home because that is where I grew up, but Canada is my home, too.
Completely agree with you both after living in Dubai for 20 years and moving to the UK I do feel that there is more to life then just tax free salary. Education is top notch and agree with diversity as well, work-life balance. Plus a big one is freedom of speech. I still love Dubai but would struggle to find a compelling reason to move back.
"there's more to life than just tax free salary" You said it best. A friend of mine likes to say "tax free slavery" I too was taken in by the glitter of Dubai 20 years ago. Soon the reality set in. All the glitter gave way to the realization of a crass life with only one goal in life: making money. The making money in Dubai comes at the cost of giving up on so many other things in life. Migrated to Canada about 15 years ago. I don't regret the decision. Canada is not for everyone. I know of people who are not happy here. But I enjoy a fuller, meaningful life, for sure. Now my earnings are also more than what I could have attained had I remained in Dubai. Of course, not everything is rosy here in Canada. But on balance, the pros far outweigh the cons. I don't miss Dubai lifestyle at all. I do visit or transit through Dubai once in a couple of years to meet friends and relatives. Lately, some of these friends and relatives are finding it harder to maintain the same lifestyle they had until few years ago. They are looking at options of migrating to a western country.
Once u spread ur roots it becomes difficult to cut nd move and also when one is in their twenties or thirties such displacements r easier, with the passing of time n age ur roots get deeper.No change is easy.Resettling costs a lot with respect to time,energy n money.
Absolutely correct observation.....cost of living in Dubai has increased so much in past 4-5 years...be it rents, groceries, normal day ro day expenses.... though there is no tax but indirect cost is really expensive.
All the best on your decision!! I was also researching on moving back to India/dubai, at the end looking at the work culture it was difficult for us to move to these countries, ultimately decided to stay put in this well settled country at least for next 12 years when my son starts university, been here since 15 years. I hope with time things will change in Canada for better, better turnaround time in medical and hopefully government opens up more manufacturing business!!
I was in canada for 5 years and moved to dubai and i love it here! Weather is still better where you can be outdoors for 8 months as compared to 4 months in Canada. From oct to may you can walk outdoors (it is 21 degrees now) Safest place No taxes Close to South Asian culture Alot of diversity, depends on the area you live in Cheaper than Canada (gas, groceries) viva, nesto are way cheaper than Carrefour or spinneys just like no-frills and Costco are cheaper than loblaws or sobeys in canada Close to India / Pakistan No so-called woke ideology taught in schools No drugs We-based culture as compared to an individualistic society Best healthcare Best infrastructure Cheaper tickets Worklife balance depends on the employer..(my husband had zero worklife balance in Canada) as compared to uae Kids make friends and adjust faster than you think they would...so dont worry about that Also after 18 the kids will have their own life anyway and there is no guarantee that your child will study in canada in the same city as yours Keh diya na bus keh diya :) Aap convince ho gayi ho ya main aur bolon? 😅
@MalikaM: "Weather is still better where you can be outdoors for 8 months as compared to 4 months in Canada" Actually, it's the other way around. If you are in BC, Southern Ontario or Southern Quebec (where most of the population is) you can be outdoors comfortably 8 months of the year. During the 4 months of winter, you can still enjoy outdoors if you're dressed for the weather and elements. On the other hand, the brutal sun and heat in gulf countries keeps you indoors for 8 months of the year. You get relief only in the remaining 4 months. As long as you are dressed warm and bundled up, you can manage even if it's artic cold. But the heat is something else. You can strip only so many clothes!
My in-laws have been here in California for 50 years (Nuclear Engineer/School Psychologist)., Once they retired, they had to seriously downgrade their lifestyle. Dubai is not a bad option. Having learnt from my in-laws experience, we have invested in a home in Dubai. Also, work-life balance is again a mindset. I work 16 hours daily in my business and love it. It is a personal choice, I guess. The only thing I will advise is that Canada is no different from California. Don't look at now look at your future/old age/retirement. Good luck with everything you decide to do!
I HAD SAME THING IN MY MIND HENCE IS MY PREVIOUS COMMENT OF PREVIOUS VLOG I MENTIONED THAT YOU ARE NOT MOVING TO DUBAI. THINGS ARE NOT SAME AS IT WERE BEFORE 5-10 YEARS. ONE THING IS GOOD FOR YOUR PART AS YOU HAVE CLOSED DUBAI CHAPTER FOR NOW. ENJOY SNOW FOR NOW AND GREAT SCENES ONCE WINTER IS OVER..
I really loved this video. We're in the same situation where you were 5-6 years ago. Moved to Canada with family as a PR from Dubai. Although we are here but our heart is still in Dubai and we wish to move there one day. But have heared from many people that we won't be able to when that time comes. I've experienced now from your video, the same love for Dubai but its not easy for you to move there after living in Canada for 5-6 yrs long time.
Just imagine how even it’s possible that after living 10 years in Dubai you are able to afford to buy two properties in Canada. It’s not depending on you sole income in Canada that’s BS after all. But even after 6 years and investing so much in your mid forty you’re thinking to move back to Dubai. There’s no need to even explain deep down your heart you know you’re stuck and completely lost in Canada. I sold my condo and moved back to my hometown I am not saying it’s the best place and choice for me but definitely I am very lucky and happy I didn’t invest that much in Canada after living 6 years got my passport that’s it.
In short those who are in dubai at the moment, stay put in dubai. Right now starting a life in canada ia not easy. Even tier 2 cities in India are way better than anything else. Leave out big towns like Mumbai Delhi Chennai Banglore, then you are really well.
Good Morning Shilpaji, Amitji, Amy ❤❤❤. Throughout the Vlog it was an experience of one of a family members giving their experience of a Vacation Visit👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Hi Shilpa & Amit, I watch your videos from Windsor Ontario. This video was full of information about Dubai & you guys did a very good comparison. Since im a single mom & struggling with the cold weather here. O thought to move to dubai with my 3 years old but comparison helped me a lot to take my decision wisely. Thanks
Hello all, 20.35 , i felt same that Amy doesn't want change in her canadian life that's why she was not getting impressed or even if she was getting impressed she was not showing it She had fear that if she say good ,you may shift, which she didn't want. She was clear in her thoughts 💭🤔 and she told you her decision in good words
Few points are contradictory to many ppl : I have never worked in Dubai after 4 pm, no weekend work. 120K for 3BDR in decent community is good rent. In 2015 I have paid 95000 for 1 BDR in decent community. IB school starts from AED 3000 and onwards. Savings are great as no income taxes. Roaming around world is great from Dubai. Upcoming new university campuses are promising for higher education Healthcare - no dispensing fees , no waiting’s atleast. Ppl live in cluster who want to live in , there are many mixed communities. Also, you forgot to mention about 1 month paid leave with tickets to home country and no limit to explore job opportunities.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I would like to add, If you move to Dubai you still have to pay taxes in Canada, unless you sever all ties with Canada. Severing your ties with Canada could include: Selling your property in Canada. Closing Canadian bank accounts. Disposing off personal property. Breaking social ties in Canada. In short cutoff all ties, except Canadian passport, and declare yourself non resident Canadian.
Well I dont agree to some of what you explained but it despends from person to person. I have been in Dubai for 11 years, bought two apartments, had an amazing life but I had to come to Cananda just for the passport. Got my first job within a month in Canada and will go back to Dubai for sure after 3-4 years InshaAllah.
I wish u all the best for your move back.. I hope it would prove to be a fruitful one.. when kids r in the picture, u tend to think differently, as u said, depends from person to person..
Wow! Bahot achha video hai. I think both of you and I are in the same boat of dilemma and then we arrive at a conclusion of sticking around in Canada. And as usual, mera mile-long lambaa comment jo mujhe maaloom hai koi nahin padhega. 😆😅 Lekin kya karoon? Dubai ka naam sunke rahaa nahin jaata. Location 00:50 Shilpaji and Amitji aapne 2~3 baar Dubai/UAE ki tax free salary ka zikr kiyaa hai. Main aapko bataata chaloon ki as a Canadian PR Holder or a Canadian citizen you are supposed to file your tax returns every year (just like any resident of Canada) and declare your entire income earned anywhere in the world. It means if you work outside of Canada, you will still be liable to pay federal and provincial taxes on your employment or business income. Aapko poora tax dena padegaa because there's no tax treaty between Canada and UAE. Mere kehne ka matbal hai ki Dubai mein tax free salary nahin hai hum jaise logon ke liye. One way or the other, tax to denaa hi padega. Aap jo yahaan Kanedda mein tax dete hain, uske badley mein aapko free education, free library service, free language courses, and free healthcare miltaa hai (MRI, complicated heart, eye, or liver surgeries, poora pregnancy ka duration and then delivery, even heart transplant and cancer ki chemotherapy treatment, dialysis etc) - sab free. Aap Dubai mein kisi bhi free cheez ka tasavvur bhi nahin kar sakte. Dubai income par Canada mein tax bharo, aur sab services ke liye Dubai mein bahot paise pay karo. Matbal tax ki vasooli nahin ho paati. Ye to ghaate ka sauda hai. Shilpaji Canada mein employers usually RRSP retirement plan ya Pension plan mein match dete hain, (matbal free ke paise, retirement security, and tax bhi kam), Canadian Government RESP match deti hai, private companies usually Employee Share Plan mein free shares dete hain. Retirement ke baad aapko Canada Pension Plan ke tehat har mahine pension aur Old Age Security ke paise bhi milte hain Federal Government ki taraf se. These benefits are unthinkable in the UAE. Location 13:58 Work Life Balance to Dubai mein hai hi nahin. Aap kaam kar kar ke mar jaao and your employer wouldn't care. He will hire another person for half the salary he paid you in just 2 minutes from India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka/The Philippines. My personal experience: yahaan Kanedda mein bosses tell their direct reports ki main 5:00 pm ke baad aapki shakal nahin dekhnaa chaahtaa office mein. Go home and spend time with your family. Agar overtime kiyaa bhi to uske paise milte hain. Oopar se 2 din ka weekend is an icing on the cake. Shilpaji unlike Canada, Dubai ki society healthy nahin hai. There are different sets of rules and justice systems for UAE nationals, GCC citizens, White caucasians, Muslims and ghurbat ke shikaar South Asians, non-Muslims. I will just leave it at that. Aur phir har roz ka noise pollution gets to you (if you know what I mean). Canada mein racism bahot bahot subtle, nahin ke baraabar hai, kyonki qavaneen bahot sakht hain. UAE mein to racism openly hotaa hai. Canada mein everyone is equal. Yahaan ke PM ko bhi traffic ticket miltaa hai. Maine Dubai, aur Tokyo mein bahot arsaa bitaaya hai. Both these cities are excellent for tourists. But both these beautiful cities can be compared with an iceberg. Samandar mein tairtaa hua ek khoobsurat sa iceberg sirf 10% hi dikhtaa hai, 90% paani ke neeche submerged hotaa hai. Glittering Dubai and world-class and rich culture ka Japan are exactly like that. Only the awe-inspiring, beautiful, and majestic 10% is visible, the greedy, nasty, racist, sad, and unjust 90% is submerged and invisible. Vahaan kuchh saal rehne se hi aapke 14 taabak roshan hote hain. My decison is working out for me. Canada ki natural beauty enjoy karo, bahot mehnat karke paise kamaao, aur retirement ke baad Canadian passport par bahot travelling karo. Ho sakey to Dubai, Nice (southern France), ya Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka mein ek vacation home khareed kar repeating cycle mein 3 mahine udhar aur 3 mahine idhar Toronto mein, aaraam se guzaaro. Best of both worlds.
I agree 100% on all points and should have mentioned paying taxes in Canada even if anyone is in Dubai if citizen of Canada, thank u for pointing out..
@@chitchatwithshilpa Maine aapka Atlantis waala video aaj phir se dekhaa. It was excellent. Bahot hi dilfareb. Meri forthcoming Farvari ki trip ke liye mera usual hotel to already booked hai lekin main Dubai vaapas jaa rahaa hoon Navambar mein sirf Atlantis mein one week rehne ke liye. 😅 Bahot mast hai Atlantis.
You both have done analysis so well and presented so clearly. So many people would find this helpful as due to current situation here so many must be double mind , they will get some more clarity... but like you both we LOVE canada and no plans to go back. If you visit Ottawa do visit us.
Love this video. Touched all the relevant points and very fair comparison. Don't leave Canada for Dubai unless healthcare is the first priority ( which I hope and pray not in your case ). Amit ji was right. Zero work life balance.
If you want easy access to world , you need to live in dubai. Do you have maid in canada? We can have maid in dubai, we have personal driver, Do you know how much it cost us? We don’t wash our utensils . We spend those time in our work and socialise with our friend every day
It's not about easy access to the world but rather exploiting those who are less privileged. Do you think having a maid, a personal driver, or never washing your own dishes is a permanent luxury? Just wait until those maids' or drivers' children get educated and achieve the same or higher income levels than you. Take my story as an example: my father used to drive an auto-rickshaw in India, and my mother was a homemaker who struggled to provide my brother and me with an education. Thanks to their hard work, both of us are now in Canada, thriving in our respective lives. Yes, we wash our own dishes, drive ourselves, and cook our own meals-and we don’t have to worry about visas expiring or returning to India with kids if our jobs end!
@RashidShaikh: "easy access to world" Are you a globetrotter? Even if you are, I don't see being in Dubai such a huge advantage (Singapore and a few other cities could make that claim too). From Canada, the US is much closer and easier to reach. Major European countries are about 6 hours by plane. Sunny Caribbean is only a few hours away by plane. I don't see the advantage, unless your "world" is India or one of the other S. Asian countries. @RashidShaikh: "we can have have maid in dubai" Sure, have a maid to do your household chores but toil at work like a slave for long hours. The life of your "maid" in the Middle East and S. Asian countries generally connotes another meaning: human exploitation. These maids are NOT paid decent wages or treated as human beings with self worth. You can get away with it because laws in Dubai and in the Middle East not only allow such exploitation but often encourages it. It's the only way many are affording a maid (there may be few rare exceptions). Animals enjoy better life than maids in these countries. Such exploitation is not possible in Canada (or in the western world). Even affluent families don't employ maids here. People here don't mind doing their own chores and spending more time with their family. @RashidShaikh: "we have personal driver" This too is like having a maid. In Dubai, you could find some unfortunate individuals desperate to earn a living for hire as personal drivers. @RashidShaikh: "We don't wash our utensils" You don't have to wash by hand if you don't want to. Dishwashers and Washing machines (for clothes) are common in almost every household here. But when did washing your own dishes become beneath your dignity? I think this pretty much sums up your personal values (and that of people like you) and your approach to life. With such attitudes, you are better off staying in the Middle East. You won't be able to adapt to life in Canada or in a western country. The culture and lifestyle here is different. It's definitely a do-it-yourself society. Also, people here like doing things on their own when they can - fixing things up, painting the house, working around the house or in the yard, making things, etc. Even those who can afford to hire someone else, choose to do themselves because they take pride in doing things or accomplishing something on their own. It's not unusual for CEOs or corporate heads to drive their own vehicle, make their own coffee in the office, or walk to the printer to make copies. Executives and senior managers freely mingle with low level employees, sit with them at the same table for lunch. @RashidShaikh: "We spend those time in our work and socialise with our friend every day" Right. Spending more time at work is the definition of the "good life" you have over there. Socializing with friends every day? That may be out of necessity since your opportunities for leisure activities are pretty slim. In Canada, when someone has a personal driver or a maid, it's not a "master-slave" relationship like in the Middle East or India. Rather, it's a "employer-employee" relationship. The employer doesn't look down upon their driver or maid. Their rights are not infringed upon. Labor of every kind is appreciated, valued and properly compensated. Your snobbish lifestyle isn't going to last forever. You will have to say goodbye to your pseudo life there one day. Until then, enjoy while the less fortunate ones are still around to be exploited. The Arabs exploit on the basis of skin color, nationality and sometimes religion. You, in turn, exploit your own kind because of their misfortune. But times are changing though.
So true yaar Rental wise it’s very diverse in Dubai. We were living in Motor City 3 br + maids room terrace apartment and that was 160K rental. Though we owned it the expense was mostly the same after bank rates increased after pandemic Dubai is very expensive
Hi, what about motor city, Sobha solice project? I have invested in it so just asking the appreciation point of view after 3 years once the towers are ready Thanks
Great analysis! I think the biggest Point here is that if you're already a millionaire then Dubai or a low tax Haven is the right place for you to move to. But if you're middle class, then there isn't a point to move. I always feel there is paralysis by analysis ESPECIALLY by every South Asian of constantly evaluating where should they live. Once and for all - like you guys just make a decision and stick to it. There is benefit to consistency where you build up your wealth, your network, your family Roots Etc and you start to grow fom there. I feel most South Asians are constantly stuck about the next best opportunity that they close down roots in one area and then regrow them in another area. At the end of the day they're just left with a history of moving but not history of staying in one place and bo genuine happiness or fulfillment. I think great decision and choice! For those living in Dubai nothing wrong with your decision but stick to it and stay there. Here the high school system is quite tough at least i feel it
We tend to ignore retirement benefits of CPP contributions and old age security pension. More you stay in Canada and contribute, the benefits rise up. UAE doesn't have social security tie ups with Canada. Of course this is not applicable if you never want to retire in Canada. But is the life of 75 year oldies attractive in India?
But pls be careful,,,, Canadian Economy is also going down & politicians are very non serious …. But yes !!! Moving Dubai is not at all the good idea !!
Hi Nidhi, as we were talking about maintaining the same lifestyle, we deliberately left the topic of maid as we don’t use this service quite often here for years.. though if you convert the cost of maid and cook services in Dubai, it won’t be more than CAD 500 a month (given its not a live in maid).. It was not the deciding factor for us at all since the start so we didn’t touch this point as this video is based on what were deciding factors for us..
@@chitchatwithshilpa i guess the question is not just about the cost, but more in terms of flexibility and free up time it offers to manage other aspects of life .. dedicate more quality time with kids, socialize better, more free up time to talk to family.. No offence to doing personal chores by self. We love occasional cooking, house clean ups, etc. We are twin kids parents and both working, so this is one of the strongest parameters in many like to like scenarios..
I have lived in Dubai for 12 years, and moved 4 years back and now Canadian citizens, but I go just for visit but I will never want to move back because I have a daughter and working hours is crazy and I can not miss this time with my kid.
@ I am in Dubai when burj Khalifa was also under construction. I have seen changes in that city, and I really admire about it. But honestly companies take advantage of you and you have to work all the time there after kid it’s hard. So we do have a business in dubai which market is so small but we just go and visit every 6 months and my daughter turned red she was sick because she couldn’t bear heat and she used to cry and she is only 2 years old still couldn’t cope up with heat and schooling is very expensive and houses in discovery and Furjan for 3 bed is 150-180 and overly crowded. We are from Mumbai we felt we are in fine version of Mumbai with high buildings and more lights lol. But trust me I still love dubai with all my heart but not for a family and you can’t retire there 😭
I think picture painted about Canada is not that much matching with the so called reality 🙂. But again definitely it’s your personal experiences and choices. By the way thanks alot for the very interactive tour of Dubai!!!
Nice vidoe and comparisons. I study in FL and alway wanted to live there but when we went there for holiday it felt so busy and not worth the move, not same vibe...same for UK where we lived 10 year and has family but our daughter love her school and home everything here in whitby...she is teen now and did not want to move out of currnt townhome to big home because she do not want to move school so yes kids preferences take priority in life...
I moved from Dubai to Canada and back to Dubai for high salary. Now I am back to Canada . Can you recommend if I should move back to Dubai ? I am feeling bored again in Canada 😢
They wanted to move, but cannot move. First, 25 years mortgage, second, even if they sell house, capital gain tax. Third, if they keep rental property in canada and permanently move to dubai. They will be considered as tax resident, still need to pay tax on world wide income, so they stucked
Thank u for the insights.. we knew all these things before even boarding the plane to Dubai and go explore, it’s not that we got to know such stuff after reaching there.. but these points r definitely valid for anyone who wants to move from Canada to Dubai
@@chitchatwithshilpa So does a person go to dubai on visa sponsored by his employer. So does this imply tht if our employer fires us, we can become jobless and homeless on the same day.
Nice shilpa. I m really glad u made this video. U know i wanted to move to canada as PR, however due to high cutoff, had to apply for aus PR n finally got it. The circumstances which were before process n right now are totally opposite n daily i m like whether we should move or not. U video gives me idea on making the same comparison between both countries so as to make the right decision. 👍
One doesn't have to live in Dubai to get vitamin D. Sun is not the only source of vitamin D. There are other ways to get it too. In any case, vitamin D is not the primary reason why someone chooses to live in Dubai. It doesn't even cross the minds of many people. Do you think those millions living in countries such as Canada, Northern Europe, Russia, etc. are deficient in vitamin D? Hardly!
By the way we knew it's all about when u guys were going there but anyway better is people should get experience by own self? No one like to move there who already have settled in Canada from every side?
Aray dear apkay Dubai Canada or Canada Dubai kay chakar mein hum double minded ho rahay hain pichlay 6 saal say. Ab final kar lo yaar Please Please Please ab or sehen nahi hota yaar 😭😭😭
One of the best schools Kings Al Barsha that offers IB and UK curriculum is around 50-60K per year. But there are cheaper schools in too but I don’t think we would like to put our kids in CBSE or other schools
Why are you telling the public...? Nobody is interested in your narrative. Guys like you make money in Canada, yet you continually speak about how much superior your native country is. Move to Dubai as soon as possible; why are you here?
Seriously ? I have no white guy in my building its all desi. Even I went to niagra on the lake it was all desi people there for shopping apart from business owner. What kind of diversity you are looking?
Not sure where you stay but I am in Durham region similar to Shilpa and it's a mixed community and you see all kinds of people . Agree that there are a lot of South Asians especially after covid but close to 1M temporary residents ( Work permit holders, international students etc) wouldn't be able to get PR and will have to unfortunately leave in next 2 years and major chunk of this population is South Asian. So you will see less people in your building and when you go to Niagara in the near future!
@@jaxjuggernaut5946 I don’t know where u live but in Durham, u will still find great mix of all nationalities and ethnicities.. Canada is huge, Ontario is not the only province and even in Ontario, Brampton, Mississauga, Niagara r not the only places.. go up north, far places in Ontario, other than only few places, u will find good mix of ppl
Sure, you can move to hindurashtra. But why? Millions of inhabitants are ditching this hindurashtra every year. Ironic, isn't it? Despite the steady diet of hindutva fed to us in the last decade or so, increasing numbers of us are opting to leave. We are fleeing to the same islamic and western countries that we earnestly despise and disparage. Modi and gang have promised us a hindu utopia. They have been busy building it ever since. In the meantime, if we need jobs, education, or a better life for ourselves and our children, we have to find it in the countries we denigrate so passionately. More than ten years of virulent hindutva has instilled in us two things: victimhood and an inferiority complex. Victimhood - we figured out that blaming the mughals whose rule ended over 250 years ago and blaming the Brits who left us more than 77 years ago will somehow lift us up from our backwardness as a nation and solve all our problems. Only a depraved hindu mindset could have come up with this brilliant strategy. Inferiority complex - in spite of comprising at least 80% of the population, we cast ourselves as the minority and demonize the actual minorities for every problem in the country, real and imagined. To win elections and to stay in power, constant vilification of minorities has become a necessary tool. We lash out at religious minorities, as if they oppress the majority hindus, about 80% of India's population. The increase in muslim population since independence is roughly 3%. The overall Christian population is about the same as it was at the time of independence: under 3%. This is not what you would hear from right wing extremists and politicians, or from the media that is largely aligned with them in the past one decade. We take with us the same victimhood mentality and inferior mindset even when we go abroad or settle there. Hindus have done really well for themselves outside of India than when they were in India. By every measure, hindus and indians in general, are the highest income earners in the countries they settled in. Along with Jews, we are the most financially successful group of people anywhere in the world. But unlike the Jews, we like to bitch and moan about religious discrimination, victimization, etc., all the while being successful and enjoying the good life. It's somehow in our hindu DNA to constantly complain and to find villains to blame for the perceived wrongs done to us. The complaining and blaming is spearheaded by a particular caste of hindus, who were the architects of India's caste system. In an effort to keep their dominance, they try to hoodwink moderate and secular hindus by rewriting India's history.
Give your Canadian houses on rent and live a luxury life in Dubai...... that's my opinion
Benefits.....in Dubai are
1. near to India
2. Luxury life
3. safest city
4. all kinds of food availability
5. night life
6. lower cost of living
❤
You can go any where every where has con and pros.
I do find it funny that people - and by that I mean Indians - ttry to compare a whole country like India, US, Canada or Australia with Dubai. The UAE also has Sharjah & Abu Dhabi and is not just the shopping capital of the world.
Correct!
Agree, but many people don’t know about UAE, that’s why everyone mention Dubai for the sake of understanding.. if u saw our first video of Dubai series, nobody in Amy’s class knew about Dubai also..

Make video in which situation, move from Canada to US
@@Melody4everloveyes @chitchatwithshilpa please.
First of all really nice analysis.. The very fact that so many people who have moved out of Dubai, reconsider coming back is in itself talks about what they have been missing out on life and the values bought in by Dubai. I don’t think anyone moving to Dubai from another big city would even compare going back once settled in Dubai.
Few facts
1. Dubai gives you the privilege of enjoying life on a much wider time - you can go out doing your grocery shopping/ dine out / night life, etc at late night hours that too with the best security in the world. So you have a much better outdoor life
2. You also have the privilege of enjoying better social life by getting domestic help that frees up your work on domestic chores. I am sure many of us with kids and both parents working need that extended help.
3. Work life balance mainly depends on where you work, how well you manage work. It totally depends on your role and skillset
4. Most important aspect is kids being settled and as a parent you never want to disrupt that. After 12 standard, kids anyways is going to settle down on thier own with a college system. When at job, Doesn’t really matter where are we based at that time. They will have thier own home, social life, etc. Just like we immigrants / NRIs are settled with parents in India.

Welcome back, Amy, Shilpa, and Amit! You all are amazing-thank you for going above and beyond to show us Dubai. Your openness and willingness to share have been incredibly helpful, giving my family a perspective that truly resonates with your family's mindset. We also wanted to share how much we love Canada and truly feel it’s probably the best country. While economics is important, it’s not the only measure that defines a place. Feeling at home matters, and Canada feels like home to us as well. Keep up the fantastic work!
Hi Shilpa and Amit, Thank you for giving us your reasons about not moving back to Dubai. I agree with everything you said, especially as a person who grew up in Dubai, who went to university in Canada and later went back to Dubai. My kids were born there and went to school for a few years there until we moved to Canada. It has been 8 years since we have been here, and I don't see myself moving back for the same reasons. My kids like their life here. In my heart, Dubai will always be home because that is where I grew up, but Canada is my home, too.
I am glad that parents in Canada can relate to us.. My insta has similar comments from ppl who move from Dubai but won’t go back only because of kids
Thank you for openly discussing all the pros and cons of both countries. It's really, really helpful. Thank you.
Completely agree with you both after living in Dubai for 20 years and moving to the UK I do feel that there is more to life then just tax free salary. Education is top notch and agree with diversity as well, work-life balance. Plus a big one is freedom of speech. I still love Dubai but would struggle to find a compelling reason to move back.
"there's more to life than just tax free salary"
You said it best. A friend of mine likes to say "tax free slavery"
I too was taken in by the glitter of Dubai 20 years ago. Soon the reality set in. All the glitter gave way to the realization of a crass life with only one goal in life: making money. The making money in Dubai comes at the cost of giving up on so many other things in life. Migrated to Canada about 15 years ago. I don't regret the decision. Canada is not for everyone. I know of people who are not happy here. But I enjoy a fuller, meaningful life, for sure. Now my earnings are also more than what I could have attained had I remained in Dubai. Of course, not everything is rosy here in Canada. But on balance, the pros far outweigh the cons. I don't miss Dubai lifestyle at all. I do visit or transit through Dubai once in a couple of years to meet friends and relatives. Lately, some of these friends and relatives are finding it harder to maintain the same lifestyle they had until few years ago. They are looking at options of migrating to a western country.
Once u spread ur roots it becomes difficult to cut nd move and also when one is in their twenties or thirties such displacements r easier, with the passing of time n age ur roots get deeper.No change is easy.Resettling costs a lot with respect to time,energy n money.
All of us are growing here at a good pace- contentment ❤
What else do we need!!!
Great content as always! ❤
Absolutely correct observation.....cost of living in Dubai has increased so much in past 4-5 years...be it rents, groceries, normal day ro day expenses.... though there is no tax but indirect cost is really expensive.
We felt the cost of living in Dubai is no more cheaper than Canada.. it’s literally the same if not more..
In US/Canada they teach kids how to think. In India they teach kids what to think. Pretty simple choice.
🤣 still indian are ricest in north america and ceos of top compnies eduction system in bharaht is changing have some patinece
All the best on your decision!! I was also researching on moving back to India/dubai, at the end looking at the work culture it was difficult for us to move to these countries, ultimately decided to stay put in this well settled country at least for next 12 years when my son starts university, been here since 15 years. I hope with time things will change in Canada for better, better turnaround time in medical and hopefully government opens up more manufacturing business!!
We feel the same way!
I was in canada for 5 years and moved to dubai and i love it here!
Weather is still better where you can be outdoors for 8 months as compared to 4 months in Canada. From oct to may you can walk outdoors (it is 21 degrees now)
Safest place
No taxes
Close to South Asian culture
Alot of diversity, depends on the area you live in
Cheaper than Canada (gas, groceries) viva, nesto are way cheaper than Carrefour or spinneys just like no-frills and Costco are cheaper than loblaws or sobeys in canada
Close to India / Pakistan
No so-called woke ideology taught in schools
No drugs
We-based culture as compared to an individualistic society
Best healthcare
Best infrastructure
Cheaper tickets
Worklife balance depends on the employer..(my husband had zero worklife balance in Canada) as compared to uae
Kids make friends and adjust faster than you think they would...so dont worry about that
Also after 18 the kids will have their own life anyway and there is no guarantee that your child will study in canada in the same city as yours
Keh diya na bus keh diya :)
Aap convince ho gayi ho ya main aur bolon? 😅
Haha.. maan gaye madam.. ❤️❤️
Mujh se mili nahi na is liye yeh vdo banayi warna kuch aur hoti! Wish we would have met...next time :)@@chitchatwithshilpa
@MalikaM: "Weather is still better where you can be outdoors for 8 months as compared to 4 months in Canada"
Actually, it's the other way around. If you are in BC, Southern Ontario or Southern Quebec (where most of the population is) you can be outdoors comfortably 8 months of the year. During the 4 months of winter, you can still enjoy outdoors if you're dressed for the weather and elements. On the other hand, the brutal sun and heat in gulf countries keeps you indoors for 8 months of the year. You get relief only in the remaining 4 months.
As long as you are dressed warm and bundled up, you can manage even if it's artic cold. But the heat is something else. You can strip only so many clothes!
My in-laws have been here in California for 50 years (Nuclear Engineer/School Psychologist)., Once they retired, they had to seriously downgrade their lifestyle. Dubai is not a bad option. Having learnt from my in-laws experience, we have invested in a home in Dubai. Also, work-life balance is again a mindset. I work 16 hours daily in my business and love it. It is a personal choice, I guess. The only thing I will advise is that Canada is no different from California. Don't look at now look at your future/old age/retirement. Good luck with everything you decide to do!
Canada is no different from California ?? 😃😀
This video the final closure to Dubai which Shilpa wanted to give before the trip. Great work, advice and observations!
Frankly Dubai is a stepping stone to move further..
I HAD SAME THING IN MY MIND HENCE IS MY PREVIOUS COMMENT OF PREVIOUS VLOG I MENTIONED THAT YOU ARE NOT MOVING TO DUBAI. THINGS ARE NOT SAME AS IT WERE BEFORE 5-10 YEARS. ONE THING IS GOOD FOR YOUR PART AS YOU HAVE CLOSED DUBAI CHAPTER FOR NOW. ENJOY SNOW FOR NOW AND GREAT SCENES ONCE WINTER IS OVER..
Thank you 🙏🏻
Amazing video Shilpa and Amit. Keep up the great work in churning out informative content…. All the Best.
I really loved this video. We're in the same situation where you were 5-6 years ago.
Moved to Canada with family as a PR from Dubai. Although we are here but our heart is still in Dubai and we wish to move there one day.
But have heared from many people that we won't be able to when that time comes. I've experienced now from your video, the same love for Dubai but its not easy for you to move there after living in Canada for 5-6 yrs long time.
I really like how you explain everything…To the point only 🙌🏼
Love your energy and the fact that you choose to express and not gatekeep!!
Keep going and all the best ❤
Just imagine how even it’s possible that after living 10 years in Dubai you are able to afford to buy two properties in Canada. It’s not depending on you sole income in Canada that’s BS after all. But even after 6 years and investing so much in your mid forty you’re thinking to move back to Dubai. There’s no need to even explain deep down your heart you know you’re stuck and completely lost in Canada. I sold my condo and moved back to my hometown I am not saying it’s the best place and choice for me but definitely I am very lucky and happy I didn’t invest that much in Canada after living 6 years got my passport that’s it.
In short those who are in dubai at the moment, stay put in dubai. Right now starting a life in canada ia not easy. Even tier 2 cities in India are way better than anything else. Leave out big towns like Mumbai Delhi Chennai Banglore, then you are really well.
Good Morning Shilpaji, Amitji, Amy ❤❤❤.
Throughout the Vlog it was an experience of one of a family members giving their experience of a Vacation Visit👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Hi Shilpa & Amit, I watch your videos from Windsor Ontario. This video was full of information about Dubai & you guys did a very good comparison. Since im a single mom & struggling with the cold weather here. O thought to move to dubai with my 3 years old but comparison helped me a lot to take my decision wisely. Thanks
Glad to help you make your decision!
Hello all,
20.35 , i felt same that Amy doesn't want change in her canadian life that's why she was not getting impressed or even if she was getting impressed she was not showing it
She had fear that if she say good ,you may shift, which she didn't want.
She was clear in her thoughts 💭🤔 and she told you her decision in good words
She will be happy if you move to USA near chikoo n sam 😅
My mom's birthday shout out, 4 th December
Her name is Heena.
Hanji, in next vlog pakka
@@chitchatwithshilpa 👍🏻
Thank you 😊
Few points are contradictory to many ppl : I have never worked in Dubai after 4 pm, no weekend work.
120K for 3BDR in decent community is good rent. In 2015 I have paid 95000 for 1 BDR in decent community.
IB school starts from AED 3000 and onwards.
Savings are great as no income taxes.
Roaming around world is great from Dubai.
Upcoming new university campuses are promising for higher education
Healthcare - no dispensing fees , no waiting’s atleast.
Ppl live in cluster who want to live in , there are many mixed communities.
Also, you forgot to mention about 1 month paid leave with tickets to home country and no limit to explore job opportunities.
Thanks for posting this 👍
Shilpa good decision. Even I am very happy to see you in Canada.
My husband is experiencing Seasonal Depression in winters..this is his second winter but he is still not adjusted.Good video though.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I would like to add, If you move to Dubai you still have to pay taxes in Canada, unless you sever all ties with Canada. Severing your ties with Canada could include: Selling your property in Canada. Closing Canadian bank accounts. Disposing off personal property. Breaking social ties in Canada. In short cutoff all ties, except Canadian passport, and declare yourself non resident Canadian.
Thank you for writing this info.. we missed it but it will be useful to lot of ppl
pyar krna Dxb ne sekhaya, par nibhana Canada ne.
bas yahi dialouge aya video dekh k.
Can't agree more, superb & true analysis.
Thank you … it was really good … God bless you 🎉❤
Well I dont agree to some of what you explained but it despends from person to person.
I have been in Dubai for 11 years, bought two apartments, had an amazing life but I had to come to Cananda just for the passport.
Got my first job within a month in Canada and will go back to Dubai for sure after 3-4 years InshaAllah.
I wish u all the best for your move back.. I hope it would prove to be a fruitful one.. when kids r in the picture, u tend to think differently, as u said, depends from person to person..
Very informative for those who are in same position as you Shilpa. They will be very happy.
Yes we could see that Amy was not connecting to Dubai.
Wow! Bahot achha video hai. I think both of you and I are in the same boat of dilemma and then we arrive at a conclusion of sticking around in Canada.
And as usual, mera mile-long lambaa comment jo mujhe maaloom hai koi nahin padhega. 😆😅 Lekin kya karoon? Dubai ka naam sunke rahaa nahin jaata.
Location 00:50 Shilpaji and Amitji aapne 2~3 baar Dubai/UAE ki tax free salary ka zikr kiyaa hai. Main aapko bataata chaloon ki as a Canadian PR Holder or a Canadian citizen you are supposed to file your tax returns every year (just like any resident of Canada) and declare your entire income earned anywhere in the world. It means if you work outside of Canada, you will still be liable to pay federal and provincial taxes on your employment or business income. Aapko poora tax dena padegaa because there's no tax treaty between Canada and UAE. Mere kehne ka matbal hai ki Dubai mein tax free salary nahin hai hum jaise logon ke liye. One way or the other, tax to denaa hi padega.
Aap jo yahaan Kanedda mein tax dete hain, uske badley mein aapko free education, free library service, free language courses, and free healthcare miltaa hai (MRI, complicated heart, eye, or liver surgeries, poora pregnancy ka duration and then delivery, even heart transplant and cancer ki chemotherapy treatment, dialysis etc) - sab free. Aap Dubai mein kisi bhi free cheez ka tasavvur bhi nahin kar sakte. Dubai income par Canada mein tax bharo, aur sab services ke liye Dubai mein bahot paise pay karo. Matbal tax ki vasooli nahin ho paati. Ye to ghaate ka sauda hai.
Shilpaji Canada mein employers usually RRSP retirement plan ya Pension plan mein match dete hain, (matbal free ke paise, retirement security, and tax bhi kam), Canadian Government RESP match deti hai, private companies usually Employee Share Plan mein free shares dete hain. Retirement ke baad aapko Canada Pension Plan ke tehat har mahine pension aur Old Age Security ke paise bhi milte hain Federal Government ki taraf se. These benefits are unthinkable in the UAE.
Location 13:58 Work Life Balance to Dubai mein hai hi nahin. Aap kaam kar kar ke mar jaao and your employer wouldn't care. He will hire another person for half the salary he paid you in just 2 minutes from India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka/The Philippines. My personal experience: yahaan Kanedda mein bosses tell their direct reports ki main 5:00 pm ke baad aapki shakal nahin dekhnaa chaahtaa office mein. Go home and spend time with your family. Agar overtime kiyaa bhi to uske paise milte hain. Oopar se 2 din ka weekend is an icing on the cake.
Shilpaji unlike Canada, Dubai ki society healthy nahin hai. There are different sets of rules and justice systems for UAE nationals, GCC citizens, White caucasians, Muslims and ghurbat ke shikaar South Asians, non-Muslims. I will just leave it at that. Aur phir har roz ka noise pollution gets to you (if you know what I mean). Canada mein racism bahot bahot subtle, nahin ke baraabar hai, kyonki qavaneen bahot sakht hain. UAE mein to racism openly hotaa hai. Canada mein everyone is equal. Yahaan ke PM ko bhi traffic ticket miltaa hai.
Maine Dubai, aur Tokyo mein bahot arsaa bitaaya hai. Both these cities are excellent for tourists. But both these beautiful cities can be compared with an iceberg. Samandar mein tairtaa hua ek khoobsurat sa iceberg sirf 10% hi dikhtaa hai, 90% paani ke neeche submerged hotaa hai. Glittering Dubai and world-class and rich culture ka Japan are exactly like that. Only the awe-inspiring, beautiful, and majestic 10% is visible, the greedy, nasty, racist, sad, and unjust 90% is submerged and invisible. Vahaan kuchh saal rehne se hi aapke 14 taabak roshan hote hain.
My decison is working out for me. Canada ki natural beauty enjoy karo, bahot mehnat karke paise kamaao, aur retirement ke baad Canadian passport par bahot travelling karo. Ho sakey to Dubai, Nice (southern France), ya Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka mein ek vacation home khareed kar repeating cycle mein 3 mahine udhar aur 3 mahine idhar Toronto mein, aaraam se guzaaro. Best of both worlds.
I agree 100% on all points and should have mentioned paying taxes in Canada even if anyone is in Dubai if citizen of Canada, thank u for pointing out..
@@chitchatwithshilpa Maine aapka Atlantis waala video aaj phir se dekhaa. It was excellent. Bahot hi dilfareb. Meri forthcoming Farvari ki trip ke liye mera usual hotel to already booked hai lekin main Dubai vaapas jaa rahaa hoon Navambar mein sirf Atlantis mein one week rehne ke liye. 😅 Bahot mast hai Atlantis.
@ yes, it’s a vibe
You both have done analysis so well and presented so clearly. So many people would find this helpful as due to current situation here so many must be double mind , they will get some more clarity... but like you both we LOVE canada and no plans to go back. If you visit Ottawa do visit us.
Wow !! big fan of your such videos. You guys express your honest thoughts beautifully 👍❤️👌
You have valid points for both the countries.
Love this video. Touched all the relevant points and very fair comparison.
Don't leave Canada for Dubai unless healthcare is the first priority ( which I hope and pray not in your case ).
Amit ji was right. Zero work life balance.
if you are working less productivity falls if productivity falls, income falls, that is not good in long run for the country itself
thanks for taking the time to research and share your perspective. It helps understand how to plan with kids for such a big move. God bless you all.
Very informative video. We always get tempted by Dubai’s glittery life. But living and visiting are two separate things.
If you want easy access to world , you need to live in dubai. Do you have maid in canada? We can have maid in dubai, we have personal driver, Do you know how much it cost us? We don’t wash our utensils . We spend those time in our work and socialise with our friend every day
It's not about easy access to the world but rather exploiting those who are less privileged. Do you think having a maid, a personal driver, or never washing your own dishes is a permanent luxury? Just wait until those maids' or drivers' children get educated and achieve the same or higher income levels than you. Take my story as an example: my father used to drive an auto-rickshaw in India, and my mother was a homemaker who struggled to provide my brother and me with an education. Thanks to their hard work, both of us are now in Canada, thriving in our respective lives. Yes, we wash our own dishes, drive ourselves, and cook our own meals-and we don’t have to worry about visas expiring or returning to India with kids if our jobs end!
@@Ronnieronson Please give my regards to ur parents..🙏🏻❤️
@@Ronnieronsonthe last point is the biggest issue in every gulf country😅
@@Ronnieronsonhats off and lots of respect to your parents and your family ❤
@RashidShaikh: "easy access to world"
Are you a globetrotter? Even if you are, I don't see being in Dubai such a huge advantage (Singapore and a few other cities could make that claim too). From Canada, the US is much closer and easier to reach. Major European countries are about 6 hours by plane. Sunny Caribbean is only a few hours away by plane. I don't see the advantage, unless your "world" is India or one of the other S. Asian countries.
@RashidShaikh: "we can have have maid in dubai"
Sure, have a maid to do your household chores but toil at work like a slave for long hours. The life of your "maid" in the Middle East and S. Asian countries generally connotes another meaning: human exploitation. These maids are NOT paid decent wages or treated as human beings with self worth. You can get away with it because laws in Dubai and in the Middle East not only allow such exploitation but often encourages it. It's the only way many are affording a maid (there may be few rare exceptions). Animals enjoy better life than maids in these countries. Such exploitation is not possible in Canada (or in the western world). Even affluent families don't employ maids here. People here don't mind doing their own chores and spending more time with their family.
@RashidShaikh: "we have personal driver"
This too is like having a maid. In Dubai, you could find some unfortunate individuals desperate to earn a living for hire as personal drivers.
@RashidShaikh: "We don't wash our utensils"
You don't have to wash by hand if you don't want to. Dishwashers and Washing machines (for clothes) are common in almost every household here. But when did washing your own dishes become beneath your dignity?
I think this pretty much sums up your personal values (and that of people like you) and your approach to life. With such attitudes, you are better off staying in the Middle East. You won't be able to adapt to life in Canada or in a western country. The culture and lifestyle here is different. It's definitely a do-it-yourself society. Also, people here like doing things on their own when they can - fixing things up, painting the house, working around the house or in the yard, making things, etc. Even those who can afford to hire someone else, choose to do themselves because they take pride in doing things or accomplishing something on their own. It's not unusual for CEOs or corporate heads to drive their own vehicle, make their own coffee in the office, or walk to the printer to make copies. Executives and senior managers freely mingle with low level employees, sit with them at the same table for lunch.
@RashidShaikh: "We spend those time in our work and socialise with our friend every day"
Right. Spending more time at work is the definition of the "good life" you have over there. Socializing with friends every day? That may be out of necessity since your opportunities for leisure activities are pretty slim.
In Canada, when someone has a personal driver or a maid, it's not a "master-slave" relationship like in the Middle East or India. Rather, it's a "employer-employee" relationship. The employer doesn't look down upon their driver or maid. Their rights are not infringed upon. Labor of every kind is appreciated, valued and properly compensated.
Your snobbish lifestyle isn't going to last forever. You will have to say goodbye to your pseudo life there one day. Until then, enjoy while the less fortunate ones are still around to be exploited. The Arabs exploit on the basis of skin color, nationality and sometimes religion. You, in turn, exploit your own kind because of their misfortune. But times are changing though.
So true yaar
Rental wise it’s very diverse in Dubai. We were living in Motor City 3 br + maids room terrace apartment and that was 160K rental. Though we owned it the expense was mostly the same after bank rates increased after pandemic
Dubai is very expensive
Hi, what about motor city, Sobha solice project? I have invested in it so just asking the appreciation point of view after 3 years once the towers are ready
Thanks
Great analysis!
I think the biggest Point here is that if you're already a millionaire then Dubai or a low tax Haven is the right place for you to move to. But if you're middle class, then there isn't a point to move.
I always feel there is paralysis by analysis ESPECIALLY by every South Asian of constantly evaluating where should they live. Once and for all - like you guys just make a decision and stick to it. There is benefit to consistency where you build up your wealth, your network, your family Roots Etc and you start to grow fom there.
I feel most South Asians are constantly stuck about the next best opportunity that they close down roots in one area and then regrow them in another area. At the end of the day they're just left with a history of moving but not history of staying in one place and bo genuine happiness or fulfillment.
I think great decision and choice!
For those living in Dubai nothing wrong with your decision but stick to it and stay there.
Here the high school system is quite tough at least i feel it
That’s so on point
We tend to ignore retirement benefits of CPP contributions and old age security pension. More you stay in Canada and contribute, the benefits rise up. UAE doesn't have social security tie ups with Canada.
Of course this is not applicable if you never want to retire in Canada.
But is the life of 75 year oldies attractive in India?
absolutely makes sense
But pls be careful,,,, Canadian Economy is also going down & politicians are very non serious ….
But yes !!! Moving Dubai is not at all the good idea !!
I m living in Dubai
And u guys highlighted all points very well
Shilpa how about house help!! Agree with all other points. You didn’t cover that point which is a considerable point for a lot of families
Hi Nidhi, as we were talking about maintaining the same lifestyle, we deliberately left the topic of maid as we don’t use this service quite often here for years.. though if you convert the cost of maid and cook services in Dubai, it won’t be more than CAD 500 a month (given its not a live in maid).. It was not the deciding factor for us at all since the start so we didn’t touch this point as this video is based on what were deciding factors for us..
@@chitchatwithshilpa i guess the question is not just about the cost, but more in terms of flexibility and free up time it offers to manage other aspects of life .. dedicate more quality time with kids, socialize better, more free up time to talk to family.. No offence to doing personal chores by self. We love occasional cooking, house clean ups, etc. We are twin kids parents and both working, so this is one of the strongest parameters in many like to like scenarios..
I have lived in Dubai for 12 years, and moved 4 years back and now Canadian citizens, but I go just for visit but I will never want to move back because I have a daughter and working hours is crazy and I can not miss this time with my kid.
Same pinch
@ I am in Dubai when burj Khalifa was also under construction. I have seen changes in that city, and I really admire about it. But honestly companies take advantage of you and you have to work all the time there after kid it’s hard. So we do have a business in dubai which market is so small but we just go and visit every 6 months and my daughter turned red she was sick because she couldn’t bear heat and she used to cry and she is only 2 years old still couldn’t cope up with heat and schooling is very expensive and houses in discovery and Furjan for 3 bed is 150-180 and overly crowded. We are from Mumbai we felt we are in fine version of Mumbai with high buildings and more lights lol. But trust me I still love dubai with all my heart but not for a family and you can’t retire there 😭
Very informative and interesting vlog, love watching all your videos. ❤
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it! 😊
You are right guy work bahut hard hai Dubai me
I think picture painted about Canada is not that much matching with the so called reality 🙂. But again definitely it’s your personal experiences and choices. By the way thanks alot for the very interactive tour of Dubai!!!
U r very welcome
Absolutely 👍
Nice vidoe and comparisons. I study in FL and alway wanted to live there but when we went there for holiday it felt so busy and not worth the move, not same vibe...same for UK where we lived 10 year and has family but our daughter love her school and home everything here in whitby...she is teen now and did not want to move out of currnt townhome to big home because she do not want to move school so yes kids preferences take priority in life...
I moved from Dubai to Canada and back to Dubai for high salary. Now I am back to Canada . Can you recommend if I should move back to Dubai ? I am feeling bored again in Canada 😢
They wanted to move, but cannot move. First, 25 years mortgage, second, even if they sell house, capital gain tax. Third, if they keep rental property in canada and permanently move to dubai. They will be considered as tax resident, still need to pay tax on world wide income, so they stucked
Thank u for the insights.. we knew all these things before even boarding the plane to Dubai and go explore, it’s not that we got to know such stuff after reaching there.. but these points r definitely valid for anyone who wants to move from Canada to Dubai
Love you guys ❤❤❤❤❤ waiting for your vlog ❤
Please visit Sydney Australia, you will forget Toronto and Dubai weather is pleasant all year
Yes. Beautiful weather. Lot's of cricket. But Australia is end of the world. Sabse alag, sabse doore. It's still like a penal colony.
I had requested this video some time back so thank u for making this video. Btw does Dubai offer PR or Citizenship.
No, Dubai doesn’t offer PR or citizenship
@@chitchatwithshilpa So does a person go to dubai on visa sponsored by his employer. So does this imply tht if our employer fires us, we can become jobless and homeless on the same day.
Nice shilpa. I m really glad u made this video. U know i wanted to move to canada as PR, however due to high cutoff, had to apply for aus PR n finally got it. The circumstances which were before process n right now are totally opposite n daily i m like whether we should move or not. U video gives me idea on making the same comparison between both countries so as to make the right decision. 👍
I am glad that it’s helpful for u
Good case study of Dubai vs Canada......very rational conclusion....AMY ROCKS !!!
The Most loveable sentence in the Whole Vlog was " We are not Moving Back" ❤❤
Haha.. we did 2 retakes to take a perfect shot of this line
What about missing vitamin D?
One doesn't have to live in Dubai to get vitamin D. Sun is not the only source of vitamin D. There are other ways to get it too. In any case, vitamin D is not the primary reason why someone chooses to live in Dubai. It doesn't even cross the minds of many people. Do you think those millions living in countries such as Canada, Northern Europe, Russia, etc. are deficient in vitamin D? Hardly!
Love the way you speak from your heart !!!
❤️
I wanted to meet you guys
Kabhi US mai meetup kro pls 😊
You guys will ultimately move back mark my words.
Thank you for this amazingly interesting video.
Very informative 👏👏👏👏
Nice,
So whats the approximate salary we need to earn in canada to maintain a 30kaed of life in dubai?
More than 100,000 a year
It should be between 12-14 K CAD per month..
@chitchatwithshilpa thank you for the insight.
Now I am in Canada but I still love ❤UAE
Move back
Good Decision 😅
By the way we knew it's all about when u guys were going there but anyway better is people should get experience by own self? No one like to move there who already have settled in Canada from every side?
Dubai is better than canada any day.
If you have nice job in Dubai beter life in Dubai need citizenship of Any western country.
I think as a couple and with your TH-cam following, you guys can earn bomb money in Dubai. Ho for 5 years and earn amazing money
Have you thought about moving to USA?

Dubai is good for hard skills tech and finance , i think you guys have soft skill not much value in dubai
Jai Guruji life is now multiple destinations
Love the video but the sound quality in first 8 min was not good, rest was better if possible listen it urself
Yes, we realized after making the video and unfortunately nothing could be done.. sorry about that
@learnwithjasleenkaur Yes agreed
Grapes are sour
Wow, gee whiz, golly wolly! Thanks for letting us in on the secret!
😮
Never say never 😜
Why are you telling the public...? Nobody is interested in your narrative. Guys like you make money in Canada, yet you continually speak about how much superior your native country is. Move to Dubai as soon as possible; why are you here?
I wish people have basic courtesy to first watch the video completely and then comment something.. it’s common sense not so common now a days 🤣
Dubai is best
❤❤

Great introspection and balance in your thought. As someone who moved from UAE, I agree that Canada is better in most ways.
Dubai is better
🤙🙏🙏
We r missing daily vlogs
Dubai main ek property book kar kar aaye hain😂😂 aur rental income
Seriously ? I have no white guy in my building its all desi. Even I went to niagra on the lake it was all desi people there for shopping apart from business owner. What kind of diversity you are looking?
Not sure where you stay but I am in Durham region similar to Shilpa and it's a mixed community and you see all kinds of people . Agree that there are a lot of South Asians especially after covid but close to 1M temporary residents ( Work permit holders, international students etc) wouldn't be able to get PR and will have to unfortunately leave in next 2 years and major chunk of this population is South Asian. So you will see less people in your building and when you go to Niagara in the near future!
@@jaxjuggernaut5946 I don’t know where u live but in Durham, u will still find great mix of all nationalities and ethnicities.. Canada is huge, Ontario is not the only province and even in Ontario, Brampton, Mississauga, Niagara r not the only places.. go up north, far places in Ontario, other than only few places, u will find good mix of ppl
You can move to hindurashtra, why a islamic Country is chosen?
Sure, you can move to hindurashtra. But why? Millions of inhabitants are ditching this hindurashtra every year. Ironic, isn't it? Despite the steady diet of hindutva fed to us in the last decade or so, increasing numbers of us are opting to leave. We are fleeing to the same islamic and western countries that we earnestly despise and disparage. Modi and gang have promised us a hindu utopia. They have been busy building it ever since. In the meantime, if we need jobs, education, or a better life for ourselves and our children, we have to find it in the countries we denigrate so passionately. More than ten years of virulent hindutva has instilled in us two things: victimhood and an inferiority complex.
Victimhood - we figured out that blaming the mughals whose rule ended over 250 years ago and blaming the Brits who left us more than 77 years ago will somehow lift us up from our backwardness as a nation and solve all our problems. Only a depraved hindu mindset could have come up with this brilliant strategy.
Inferiority complex - in spite of comprising at least 80% of the population, we cast ourselves as the minority and demonize the actual minorities for every problem in the country, real and imagined. To win elections and to stay in power, constant vilification of minorities has become a necessary tool. We lash out at religious minorities, as if they oppress the majority hindus, about 80% of India's population. The increase in muslim population since independence is roughly 3%. The overall Christian population is about the same as it was at the time of independence: under 3%. This is not what you would hear from right wing extremists and politicians, or from the media that is largely aligned with them in the past one decade.
We take with us the same victimhood mentality and inferior mindset even when we go abroad or settle there. Hindus have done really well for themselves outside of India than when they were in India. By every measure, hindus and indians in general, are the highest income earners in the countries they settled in. Along with Jews, we are the most financially successful group of people anywhere in the world. But unlike the Jews, we like to bitch and moan about religious discrimination, victimization, etc., all the while being successful and enjoying the good life. It's somehow in our hindu DNA to constantly complain and to find villains to blame for the perceived wrongs done to us. The complaining and blaming is spearheaded by a particular caste of hindus, who were the architects of India's caste system. In an effort to keep their dominance, they try to hoodwink moderate and secular hindus by rewriting India's history.
