According to the Red Tape published by Explorer, if you have Canadian driving licence you must get an affidavit from the Canadian Consulate in Dubai for varification that your DL is genuine. Also, you have to be a resident in Dubai at the time of application for the DL. (to my knowledge, your citizenship doesn’t make a difference – but check this with the Dubai Traffic Police, http://www.dubaipolice.gov.ae)
Hope this helps.

Hi,
A Canadian dl is acceptable to be able to get a UAE liscence WITHOUT redoing a drivers test etc. I suggest you do not drive in this country without a UAE liscence. You go to the Municipal offices and they process it right away. Mine took 30 minutes but some people have spent the morning there.It helps if you go with your company PRO.
