Gateway Canada, a leading global mobility and business acquisition services provider, has officially launched its operations in Dubai, marking a significant milestone in its international expansion strategy. The new office, launched on March 24, 2025, strengthens the company’s global presence and enhances its ability to connect individuals and businesses with opportunities across North America, Europe, and the United Arab Emirates.
Strategic Expansion into a Global Business Hub
Gateway Canada has established its new Dubai office as part of its strategic growth plan to expand its global footprint. The Dubai operations will focus on business development, talent placement, and investment migration services, connecting people and organizations with market opportunities in multiple regions.
The company selected Dubai for its expansion due to the city’s position as a key commerce and talent mobility center at the global level. This strategic location allows Gateway Canada to better serve clients seeking international business opportunities and facilitate smoother global transitions.
“Dubai holds strategic importance for Gateway Canada because the expansion enables better delivery of services for clients wanting global business opportunities,” stated Chief Executive Officer Fazil Gardezi. “This enhancement empowers Gateway Canada to better facilitate its professional and investor clients in accessing international markets for smooth global transits and enhanced business expansion.”
Two Decades of Global Mobility Expertise
Gateway Canada brings over two decades of experience to its Dubai operations. Since its founding in 1998, the company has evolved into a primary business expansion and global mobility organization. Throughout its 20+ years of operation, Gateway Canada has become instrumental in helping businesses and job seekers build successful international market operations.
The company now operates across four countries, with robust business activities in Canada, the UAE, Albania, and Pakistan. Their dedicated teams across these locations, along with expanding strategic ventures, allow them to open new global prospects for their clients, establishing themselves as a major player in global mobility services.
Bridging Skills Gaps Across Continents
Gateway Canada’s Dubai expansion comes at a time when Canadian provinces are increasingly looking to the UAE as a source of skilled professionals. This timing is particularly strategic as several Canadian provinces have recently announced recruitment drives in Dubai for early 2024, targeting sectors including healthcare, trades, construction, information technology, hospitality, and manufacturing.
The company’s Dubai operations will serve as a crucial link in facilitating these international workforce movements. Gardezi’s leadership role in Delivra Euro uses Dubai operations as the starting point for placing skilled Asian workers in European market labor forces, demonstrating Gateway Canada’s commitment to promoting international talent movement.
Comprehensive Global Mobility Services
The new Dubai office enhances Gateway Canada’s service portfolio, which includes:
Business Expansion Facilitation
Gateway Canada assists businesses looking to expand into new markets by providing local expertise, regulatory guidance, and operational support. The Dubai office strengthens the company’s ability to help clients navigate the complexities of international business development.
Skilled Workforce Placement
With global labor shortages affecting numerous industries, Gateway Canada’s workforce placement services help match skilled professionals with employment opportunities across continents. The company leverages its international network to identify qualified candidates and connect them with employers seeking specific expertise.
Investment-Based Immigration
Gateway Canada provides guidance for individuals and businesses seeking investment opportunities that can lead to immigration pathways. The company offers comprehensive support throughout the investment and immigration process, ensuring clients make informed decisions aligned with their long-term goals.
Future Growth and European Expansion
Gateway Canada’s ambitions extend beyond its new Dubai operations. The company has announced plans to expand into European markets within the next six months, further extending its global reach. This upcoming expansion will complement existing operations and create a more comprehensive international network.
“We aim to develop a worldwide platform that permits people and organizations to find borderless business prospects via job opportunities, investment programs, and corporate ventures,” explained CEO Gardezi. The company’s vision involves creating seamless pathways for talent and capital to flow across international boundaries, facilitating global economic growth.
Meeting Canada’s Growing Demand for International Talent
The timing of Gateway Canada’s Dubai expansion aligns with Canada’s increasing focus on international recruitment. Canada’s stable and growing economy has created significant demand for skilled professionals and entrepreneurs across sectors including technology, healthcare, energy, and finance.
This demand represents more than just filling immediate workforce gaps—it’s part of Canada’s strategic approach to maintaining its competitive edge globally. Gateway Canada’s services directly support this national priority by facilitating the movement of qualified professionals to Canadian employers.
Building Bridges Between the UAE and Canada
The launch of Gateway Canada’s Dubai operations coincides with deepening economic cooperation between the UAE and Canada. This relationship extends beyond workforce mobility to include increased trade flows and commercial links.
This timing is particularly noteworthy as Emirates recently expanded its services between Dubai and Canada, launching daily flights to Montréal in July 2023 to complement its existing Toronto service. This enhanced connectivity further supports the business relationships that Gateway Canada aims to facilitate.
Gateway Canada’s expansion into Dubai represents a significant development in the global mobility sector. By establishing operations in one of the world’s premier business hubs, the company positions itself to play an increasingly important role in facilitating international business growth and professional migration.
As borders become more permeable for skilled professionals and businesses seek global opportunities, Gateway Canada’s expanded presence provides a valuable service connecting talent with opportunity across continents. The Dubai office launch marks not just a company milestone, but a meaningful contribution to the evolving landscape of global workforce mobility.
