You can verify a UAE visa cancellation yourself through official channels rather than relying on your employer's word. For visas issued outside Dubai, use the ICP smart services app or website; for Dubai-issued visas, use the GDRFA Dubai app or website. You'll typically need your Emirates ID number, passport details, or visa file (UID) number. Checking matters because a new work or residence visa generally cannot be issued while a previous one is still active, and an uncancelled visa can block a new employer's application. If the status isn't showing cancelled, ask your former sponsor for the cancellation reference. Full guide: Checking UAE visa cancellation status.
