The only way I think that can be done, considering your location, is to take some English language classes in UAE.

You won't find anyone to practice your accent with on the Canada forum. It's a bit far to travel for practicing

But how can you practice with people here? You mention many accents, well there are many accents in Canada (multiculturalism, don't you know).

The thing is as he/she is in the UEA there is no chance of gettign together with anyone in Canada to practice anyway. Unless of course they intend to do it by phone, in which case I wouldnt want to be paying the phone bill

I would goto the coffee shops in Egypt and start friendly conversations with foreigners who visit. OR you could become an official guide to the city for foreigners ..I have heard that usually helps...in all other cases, you will have to experience it first hand by just landing in Canada ..Im not kidding.

Good Luck

regarding the practice i thought i can do it through voice chat not by phone . And about the accent if there's multiculturalism in canada it is not big issue because of almost people are native but the problem here almost of resident aren't native speakers. so i'm learning wrong accent.

I also have another suggestion....past roomates and classmates of foreign origin who had to get caught up with the language and the accent quickly in order for them to understand lectures and whats being said in class used to watch a ton of movies...American or Canadian movies.....this will immerse you in the learning process and another second best way to practice your pronounciation..North American Radio channels wouldnt be base either..I understand you wont have the face to face encounter but this might be another strategy.

I also learned Spanish using Rosetta Stone....its not a bad product and you can learn pronounciation with it as it has options for it (might have tried it already but I wanted to bring this up too).

Good Luck....
