DUBAI — UAE has reinstated a visa waiver for Canadian citizens it withdrew amid a dispute over landing rights more than two years ago, a move suggesting the disagreement may be nearing a resolution.



Canada was one of more than 30 countries, mostly Western, that benefited from a visa waiver the UAE offered to their citizens.



But Canadians were told in November 2010 they had to obtain a visa in advance at a cost of about $1,000.



Dubai carrier Emirates had been lobbying the Canadian government to boost its thrice-weekly direct flights to Toronto and more Canada destinations, with support from the UAE government, but failed to gain greater access. — Reuters
