Answer 1

Pretty much all countries now allow you to drive on a license from your home country for a short time.  (vacation)  You just need to go through the local process to get your license in your new country as soon as possible (depending upon the laws of the country to which you are relocating.)

Answer 2

Go to   CAA  get an international  licence

Answer 3

i recommend asking this in the "Dubai" Section.

and my hypothesis is, you can drive there on a Canadian drivers license for SHORT TERM (eg vacation)  but if you will be getting a job there, i think you will have to get a UAE drivers license after a few weeks
