Reading Material
In case you're interested, here are some links regarding stuff thats going on here. UAE is making Canadians get Visas before they come here, instead of just issuing a 30 day visitor visa upon arrival. Anyways, I have to get our marriage certificate attested before I can get a residence visa, and I don't know how long that takes. Not sure what happens in the new year if I need another extension (which I probably will). Maybe Tesco will have to send me back to Canada until I have a residence visa approved. (oh, and I haven't read these yet).
