UAE Visa & Document Attestation from Canada
Visa Jet is a private document and travel support agency helping clients across Canada prepare files for the United Arab Emirates. Whether you are relocating to Dubai or Abu Dhabi for work, sponsoring family, or doing business in the Emirates, we coordinate the attestation and legalization your documents need. We are not a government office, embassy, or consulate, and we cannot decide or guarantee any outcome.
Moving to the UAE for Work
The Emirates remain one of the most popular destinations for Canadian professionals — in finance, aviation, healthcare, education, engineering, and hospitality. What surprises many new hires is that the visa itself is usually arranged by the UAE employer; the applicant's real task in Canada is producing correctly attested documents. Employers and UAE authorities typically ask for university degrees, and often police clearance certificates, that have been authenticated in Canada and then legalized by the UAE embassy or consulate.
Visa Jet manages this for you. We review your originals or notarized copies, confirm what your employer's checklist actually requires, and run the documents through each stage in the right order. Because we work remotely by email and secure courier, you can start your UAE file from anywhere in Canada without visiting an office.
Why Apostilles Are Not Enough for the UAE
Canada joined the Apostille Convention in January 2024, and for many countries an apostille from Global Affairs Canada or a designated province now replaces the old legalization chain. The UAE, however, is not a party to the Convention. Documents destined for the Emirates still generally follow the traditional route: authentication in Canada first, then legalization at the UAE embassy or consulate.
Getting this sequence wrong is one of the most common reasons files are rejected or delayed. We confirm the current requirements for your specific document type, prepare the package in the correct order, and arrange certified Arabic translation where the receiving authority in the UAE expects it.
Family Sponsorship and Residence Documents
Once settled, many Canadians sponsor a spouse or children for UAE residence. That process typically calls for legalized marriage certificates and birth certificates issued in Canada. Similar requirements apply to school enrolment, medical licensing, and certain banking or property matters in the Emirates.
Common documents we attest for UAE use include:
- University degrees, diplomas, and transcripts
- RCMP or provincial police clearance certificates
- Marriage certificates for spousal sponsorship
- Birth certificates for dependent children
- Commercial and corporate documents for business setup
- Certified Arabic translations where required
How Visa Jet Works with You
We begin with a short review of your destination checklist — from your employer, PRO, or UAE authority — and tell you plainly what each document needs. From there we coordinate notarization guidance, authentication, embassy legalization, and translation, keeping you updated at every stage until your documents are couriered back to you.
We never guarantee approval, acceptance, or processing times; those decisions belong to the UAE authorities alone. What we do promise is a carefully prepared, correctly sequenced file. Contact us at info@visajet.ca or +1 819-635-8787 to get started.
