Thx for the info dbxsoul,

I was planning on staying in a hotel apt...the cheap ones were $180 avg per night.

$ CAD or USD? If it's US the 660 EAD is expensive per night for a room or 600 AED if it’s CAD. Obviously it’s a lot more comfortable than a 350 AED room. The downside with looking for work during the “winter” months is that it is prime tourist time, hence you end up paying higher rates for accommod...

Thx.

Hey Bridge..have you called the FA to check?? Also..I was finally able to talk to someone at the UAE embassy in Ottawa, and found this out. Once FA forwards to the UAE embassy, they will only attest if they have an official transcript from your University/College. So, if you they don't have your tra...
