Please allow me to come back to my home in the UAE

I am writing this letter to request the government of the UAE to allow me to return to my home in Dubai. I am currently  in Ontario, Canada, and my parents and siblings are in the UAE. I want to return to my home, the UAE, where I have lived most of my 21 years. I was born in Abu Dhabi and raised in the emirates. I came to Canada to purse higher education at York University. I tried to book my flight back to Dubai when I heard the UAE was closing its borders, but couldn't get one. My residence visa has expired, but I am eligible to renew it. Cooped up in a small rented room near my closed university campus, I am worried. I do not have any close friend or family member nearby. -Saad Ahmed Siddiqui, Ontario, Canada
