Thank you! I’m you enjoyed the video. ☺️

Bro, its good 7 months winter - from 10/08- 05/08. Cmon - it is cooooold and windy.

Hey, thanks for sharing some more information about the weather in Toronto. It’s just a personal preference. And while yes in theory winter should be three months, it’s quite cold for more than three months out of the year. I have friends who love cold weather, it’s just not for me. Winter can definitely be beautiful but if given the choice I’d go with a hotter climate. The summers here are super hot but I don’t mind. People usually spend more time indoors and many people travel in the hotter months. For now I love seeing the sun almost every day ☀️☺️.

@@englishetcwithjulie …. Dubai is a lovely city. With healthy and cheaper food, really good friendly and happy people, expensive but cheap at the same time, not 50-75% taxation, very close to many great places *Europe, Asia… city that think about future and people, weather is just a bonus. There are many many good things, wondering why simple normal instagram posts from Dubai are blocked for people in Canada #think…

And super clean without smell of homeless people *wishing them all the very best.

Dubai is extremely safe for Women’s, Kids = priceless.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! There will be more to come.

Hey, thanks for sharing. Yes it’s a shame that things have taken a turn for the worse. I’m hoping that things will change for the better in the future because the country isn’t what it used to be or what I remember growing up. 🤞🙏

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ll work on making more videos like this 😊

@@englishetcwithjulie yess!! Please tell us more about life in Dubai!! Was really interesting!

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ll be making a part 2 😉

Glad it was helpful!

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!

Hey, my pleasure! It's great that you've had the chance to visit both Toronto and Dubai. You're right - these cities are like night and day! Which did you like better?

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience. While many people do speak their first language at home, with friends and family, English is spoken at work, at school, universities, in public and at all government establishments. It's not uncommon to hear people speaking different languages when you're walking around Toronto, which is one of the cool things about the city. There are many cultural groups as you said. I think it's quite a beautiful thing that people can preserve and share their own culture in Canada and have the opportunity to continue speaking their first language within their communities and social groups. However, being born and raised in Toronto, I'd say that English is definitely more than just a tool to communicate with other communities. English is necessary for daily life in Toronto.

Glad you think so!

@@englishetcwithjulie you are the cream of the crop teacher.

Glad you enjoyed the video!

Hey, I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for question. There are quite a few differences for school teachers in the UAE (specifically Dubai) compared to Canada. Here in Dubai many international schools offer accommodation for single teachers, a tax free salary and other benefits. This attracts many young, single teachers to Dubai. In Canada the cost of living is extremely high right now so benefits like this make a big difference. Another thing about teaching in Canada is that many teachers start off as supply teachers before getting a permanent placement in a school, so there can be a period of instability for new teachers to consider. However, once you get a permanent placement generally the position is quite stable. The curriculums are also quite different. In Canadian public schools, teachers have to cover a lot of social issues that aren’t really part of the curriculums here in Dubai. There are quite a few cultural differences to consider, you’ll definitely see big differences with the parents and students themselves in both places. These are just a few differences, I think there are pros and cons to teaching in different places. Hopefully this at least gives you an idea of a few differences 😉.

For sure! If you like winter sports, Toronto is a great option. :)

Hey, thanks, so glad you liked it!

Canada can be great for people who have 3rd world passport, to get a 1st world passport, and afterwards, you can go back to Dubai to be treat better with your 1st world passport(Canada)

Hey, as you know work in Dubai is impacted by your nationality, industry etc. Many jobs are different in Dubai and Canada in terms of salary, working conditions and the job itself. However in Canada there are clear employment laws which definitely help with equality. I think for everyone, if the place you’re going is better for you than where you came from, then it’s generally a good step. Getting started in Canada isn’t easy, but that’s the case almost everywhere these days. I think with hard work, you can do it. I know that the passport and nationality can help to open doors and I wish you the best of luck!

Glad you enjoyed it! It would depend on what industry you’re in and your personal situation, but I would recommend doing research about the industry you want to work in here before making the move. 😉

@@englishetcwithjulie solid advice, thank you!

Living in Canada and wish moving there one day ....

Yeah I agree the weather plays a huge part in how we feel. Growing up in Canada the weather wasn’t an issue, but it wasn’t until I moved to a sunny, warm climate that I really felt the difference! Now I usually visit my family in the summer.

@@englishetcwithjulie yep, over 90% people don’t have the courage to wake up.

Hey, I agree, fall is a beautiful time of year in Canada. And yes, the weather is definitely a shock for people who have never lived in a cold climate, you absolutely need to get used to it, and a whole new wardrobe!😜

You must visit a few cities in India to find out why Indians complain in Canada. Good luck

It's a great city!

I’m not interested in Dubai. But I do want to know the comparison.

@@felixsolano1468 it's OK Dubai is good to visit

Hey, I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. In terms of business, it depends on the industry so I’m not able to give one general statement about it. I can say that Dubai is a hub for business and work is one of the main reasons that people move here.

… one more thing, no homeless people in Dubai *they offered place to live or leave the country. Toronto, Vancouver downtown smell is …

Hey, honestly I’m not sure what the cause of the flooding was. It was really strange for us over here! Thankfully things were under control pretty quickly 🙏.

Hi, sorry I missed this! Honestly there is a huge range of prices for real estate so I can’t give you a clear answer. It depends on the location, property type etc. You’d have to have a look online to get a more accurate idea. 😉

My mom used to say, never drop your Ts, do not degrade the language.

Not for me 😉.

Americans (US) drop their t's as well or turn it into a d (wader instead of water) it's a hallmark of the American accent

Hey, great question. It depends, this comes directly from the government website: “As a non-resident of Canada, you pay tax on income you receive from sources in Canada. The type of tax you pay and the requirement to file an income tax return depend on the type of income you receive. Generally, Canadian income received by a non-resident is subject to Part XIII tax or Part I tax.” www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/international-non-residents/individuals-leaving-entering-canada-non-residents/non-residents-canada.html# Hope this helps!

Hi, yes many people don’t, I prefer to 😉.

Who cares... nobody really. 60% of torontoians arn't even from Toronto.

I agree that unfortunately the people have changed. I know a lot has happened to cause this but it’s sad to see. One of the things I loved most about the city used to be the people.

Money makes a big difference! I think it’s the case everywhere these days.

Haha yes, dating in Toronto has been tough for a long time! I feel like it’s almost everywhere now, more of the time we live in than the location I guess.
