Oman is a paradise. I lived in Muscat for 5 years . Still cherish each and every day in Oman. Beautiful pleasent country with one of the most well behaved people in the world.
well thanks from Oman
@@Al7ajri can i get ur ig i need to came oman
💯 current
You can say that a million times because it's true
I feel like lots of middle eastern and Asian countries have a sense of honor and hospitality that has been lost in the western world.
I lived in Oman for 8+ years in Muscat, Oman. The best years of my life. I now live in the UK and I will say that it comes nowhere near to Oman.
I will be there soon can we be friends bro
why'd you leave ?
@@ddfg6285 life took me to Oman and then it took me to the UK.
@@hishmahishma7511 I also live in the uk, do jobs sponsor visa there ?
@@ddfg6285 yes, I assume you want to know that if the jobs in Oman come with a visa. Your employer will be the visa sponsor.
Helped develop Oman in 1981. Love Oman
I'm 16 Years in Oman. I'm a foreigner and this is my country.
Good luck
Were you able to get citizenship?
Lived in Dubai for years, always travelled to Oman on holidays. Must have been there at least 15-20 times, love Oman
Lived there for 3 years. Heat was the best thing about Oman (for me). I didn't want to leave. My car battery once melted, which was not fun, but I still adore that heat.
Thank you for publishing these videos! Love hearing about the Canadian experiences abroad!
Perfect video. Was in oman 🇴🇲 for 20 years. My heart ❤️ is in Alansub! . I miss it

@@omanix4484 Thank you 😅
I love oman,i work in almost 15yrs,i miss Oman
Thnku... A lot of things got to learn.. Cos.., I'm also looking for to move to Oman...
Good information
Might it be more helpful to have this interview with an expat who’s been in Oman for several years or more, someone who has a better grasp of the culture?
Good morn oman is a very good country mam and oman national are a good and kind peoples
I am thinking of moving to Oman, Great vid...
Likewise
Were u able?
I'm American and strongly considering Oman to move to. I don't hate America but I always wanted to live in another country just to try it out. Chicago is my favorite American city so I like the US as well
Don't go to arab countries is bet to live in Africa like Tanzanian.
Kenya. or Rwanda
Yes ur right Mr American Oman is great place for visit I also spend 2 years in Oman badly I didn't found good job in Oman that,s I have to back Pakistan but over all Oman is nice place
@@tecnotv7816 I will visit this amazing country before I decide. I was born in the U.S. but I am of Middle Eastern descent. I have traveled to Istanbul and it was a different experience.
oman is a nice place and nice people .. hoping to visit oman too in God's will 🙏🙏🙏
Hello guys, if you have been struggling with this for ages don't loose hope neither panic *nanyagency08* on in$tagram got it right especially for those applying for canada caregiver and nanny job Dm him directly on in$tagram just the way I did, am now working as a caregiver through him, he has alot of connection right here!
I love Oman and Omanis 😊
I’m moving on the 25th!!!
Thank you sir
Wow there is a lot of criticism in these comments. This is just someone telling us about her experiences. Why all the negativity?
Ignorance?
Cool video
Nice sharing
I dont want to be rude, but this is very fascinating interview. She is talking for 15 minutes and says nothing of substance at all. I just dont understand those people this particular class of white americans who talk a lot all the time but say nothing at all. I have learned literally nothing.
I wondered what kind of job could one find, what is the cost of living there, things to do etc... and i learned that there is hot weather, oman is on coast and people are traditional. They wear pyjamas and there are no parties on canadian embassy. I wonder what she does all day long, if thats all she could come up with. I really dont want to be rude, but why would you agree with an interview and then say nothing at all? There was literally zero information, its like investigating a CIA spy.
A true serial expat
Sir , please give me some information regarding to C.A studies in muscat
I'm South African but I'd love to live and teach English in Oman😍
Same here too, from Nigeria though, hope I get to meet you soon
Me too i would love to teach English lessons in Oman
great
What about the cost of living there and possible jobs as an English teacher?
she says "like" a lot, but great info. Thanks.
I would like an email for the canadian lady . great advice. Good to hear they respect women
im moving to oman to work for a year. with not much time to learn anything more than some basic arabic. what is the propensity of english in oman, specifically muscat and the general skill level?
6:00
some people can speak fluent English and most speak basic English
@@Al7ajri please post your email
Nice, and it would be more informative if accompanied by some pics or illustrations.
Pls how's childcare in Oman, English schools for children between 1yr -13yrs, affordability wise
make a video on how to find a job give a list of all MNCs and top companies directory, also a small business owner. skills hot in demand.
Great interview thanks .. can you recommend some expat neighborhoods at Muscat ?
Victor Eroza "Madinat AS Sultan Qaboos" is one of the best neighbourhoods that I can recommend for you. It's surrounded by a variety of services such as restaurants, gym and off-license. Also, it's convenient if you're moving with your family since the British School Muscat is in the same neighbourhood. The beach is only a few minutes away of the neighbourhood.
And of course they're many other places that I would recommend such as Al Qurum, Al Azaiba, and Al Mouj (quite expensive).
@@gihad6177 muscat hills mouj and some complexes
Everywhere bro
@@gihad6177 pls how affordable is the school for English speaking children
How do people deal with the summer heat? I've looked at Oman and the GCC region more broadly but just can't get over how hot it gets during the summer months. Is everyone basically just sitting indoors the whole time?
I arrived in June 1995 at midnight. The BA crew had elected a 'rookie' steward to release the cabin door. All we head was "bl***y Hell!" what is this place?!
At that time the country was closed to foreigners unless permitted. This has changed.
It is a fascinating place, the Omanis are extremely courteous and friendly, and fascinated to meet people from other countries but you must respect their way of life.
We try to stay indoor either at home, office or cars. However, Oman is much better than the other gulf countries during the summer specially in Salalah, mountains, or even Muscat (from afternoon and above)
8:24 thanks for saying the truth, instead of the bbc bs.
Yes I would wear my pjs to work under Abayah lol and 😅
Assalammualaikum...
0:17 Northwest*
what is the difference between working in Dubai and Oman.. can you tell me
Oman is better, cheaper, high salaries etc
Why is easyJet not flying to Oman.
If I moved there would I have to fear deportation?
Ive heard many positive things said about Oman but can a foreigner get citizenship there?
Noooooooooo and dont believe also what they said in this video completely not true
If you work for more than 5 years there is a high chance of citizenship
Are you still in Oman???? I need people willing to help with emails. They say it is safe. Speak English
Her credibility went down the drain by the statement "Air Canada is a decent airline" 😂
Oman is great if you wanna stop by for a limited time vacation
However, I advise you all to not move there... because there's a lot of Racism which people want to not talk about or avoid
People are losing their jobs due to something called "Omanization" and the conditions for survival if you're a foreigner are very harsh
In America , people can stand up to racism and even protest.... over in Oman people aren't even allowed to protest or speak for themselves...
The Government supports locals and will do nothing for foreigners , I advise you all once again... go there for a Vacation but do not go there for Job opportunities or a "better life"...
How is she not able to work as a chef in Oman? Make it make sense
Because it is a Muslim country therefore the laws are based on religious rules in which men and women shouldn't be free mixing if they are strangers. It prevents any sort of immorality and the negative outcomes of it which are very clear to see in the west such as extremely high rape rate, a lot of women kidnapped and trafficked and the rampant sexual immorality and promiscuity which propagates broken families and single parent households which are statistically the biggest contributors to crime and prisons in the west. Islam takes a prevention is better than cure strategy which doesn't allow all of this to occur from the root of the issue and the severe punishments also create incentive to stick to these rules. This is why you always hear westerners say the middle east is the type of place you can leave your car unlocked or your wallet on the table. As well as the fact that the vast majority of people there are God-fearing and so they act accordingly, the lack of this is another factor that has led to the downfall of western society.
Oman is a decent country
Try Kuwait, way hotter than Oman 😂
They are "trained" to speak English. They don't learn english, they're not taught English.. They are TRAINED.
English is a compulsory subject in Oman and is the principle language for many sectors
Lol sunburn. Obviously she's never been to New zealand. And the heat, has she been to darwin?
what is the email of the canadian woman in video
Oman is amazing, but is it me or is your guest the most unlikable person I've ever listened to?
I think it is you. She seems just fine to me.
Pyjamas ?! It's kandura traditional wear. Rude.
Is crypto and forex trading legal Oman?
I love Oman but i heard about it's political situation and it's lack of freedom
care to elaborate?
Yes don't go there.

Arabian gulf
Arabian gulf not Persian golf
I thought that too until I looked it up. Apparently, the Arabian Gulf and the Persian Gulf are the same places.
There is no such a thing called Arabian gulf, it was it is and it will be Persian gulf for ever, go back to school and learn your lessons.
@@CanadianExpat actually you were right about the name that you said Persian gulf, as Arabian gulf doesn’t exist.
Hmm, seems that there might be some strong opinions regarding this issue.
@@ahm2092
من هم الفرس حتى يكون لهم خليج...
اذهب في البداية وتعلم أسس الجغرافيا حتى تفرق هل الخليج موجود في جهة العرب ام الفرس...
Question: Are Omanis political as a people, or do they just mind their own business for the most part. I’ll be more specific:
1. Do Omanis have strong opinions about Israel?
2. Do Omanis insist on calling the “Persian Gulf” something else? (Like UAE does)
3. Do Omanis hate Indians, Iranians, and foreigners as a whole?
Be honest. They are not here, we don’t have to be polite.
1) who doesnt?
2) why is that any of your business?
3) they are the most friendly people on the planet, but i dont advise going if you are a jew
1)The ICJ is about to have a very strong opinion on israel and the inhumane idf soldiers which will be an example to the rest of the world for history(a very high percentage of soldiers can be argued to be given death penalties based on evidences they happily provided on social media etc with no remorse)
2) This has no effect on day to day lives most Omanis are probably not even aware it is a contested name, they just call it what they were taught in school.
3)There is a very large expat community there and there are no statistics showing a high level of these expats leaving, I believe Oman has the 11th largest Indian diaspora population in the world.
My personal opinion is that if you are the type of ignoramus who tries to defend israel and its inhumane genocidal acts then steer clear from all Muslim lands.
You’re welcome
Doesn’t matter what your religion is… just mind your own business, trust me no one dares to harm you
I’m from Oman btw
