Working in Dubai, can the boss cancel your work visa alone?

You can't.

Working in Dubai, according to local laws, the boss can unilaterally terminate the labor contract, but not unilaterally cancel your work visa. Work visas are issued and managed by Dubai Immigration Bureau. Employees and employers jointly submit applications and issue them after approval.

A work visa means that you can legally work full-time in that country, basically for 3-5 years. A work visa is for your employer in a foreign country, not for an individual.
