ATM, the cheapest fare to Canada from UAE is Qatar Airways, however, BA and KLM are very competitive... I like KLM, although there is like a 4 to 6 hrs of waiting in Schiphol Airport, but there is a nice lounge where you can stretch... of course those who are going to Toronto are lucky that there is direct flight by Etihad from AUH
a good mittens or winter gloves are a must!
some snow shoes are really heavy and big, buy them in Canada and wait for the sales, no point buying em here
i have yet to taste a good swarma in Vancouver and Edmonton, enjoy them while you are still here! ;D
YES! you can bring Arabic Sweets, just declare them and don't buy from carrefour, buy those special ones!
don't bother with any electronics that only operates in 220VAC, remember that US/Canada is 110VAC
if you still have dual-band gsm phones, don't bother bringing that to Canada, it won't work!
YES! iPhone is cheaper there, but with a contract, hence when you sum it up, it might not really be that cheap...
if you are under medication, get at least 2 months worth of meds from here, you absolutely can not buy prescription medicines there without a doctor's prescription, even creams like "Betnovate" is prescription only in Canada
YES! there is Hells-Angels and marijuana in Vancouver/BC, but it is the best place on earth... well, if it is not raining that is... 8)
