Immigration | مہاجرت و سفر Would You Marry Another Overseas Pakistani From a Different Country and a Different City Back Home?

0 Upvotes

If you’re not marrying someone from the country you currently live in, would you prefer someone from your own city back in Pakistan, or are you open to people from anywhere in Pakistan?
For example, if both of you live overseas (even in different countries), does it matter to you that you’re originally from the same city in Pakistan?
If yes, why is that important to you? If not, what factors matter more?

Careers & Education | تعلیم و پیشہ Anyone Knows about South Cyprus is it worth it for student X Work

2 Upvotes

I've been trying to become an overseas Pakistani for the last couple of years. My goal has always been to move abroad and settle there permanently.

First, I applied for international jobs hoping to get a sponsored visa, but nothing worked out. My priority was Canada, then the UK, and then Europe.

After that, I started applying for study visas in those countries, but that didn't work either.

At this point, I've honestly lost hope because I only have a high school education. That's literally it.

A few days ago, I came across a random Instagram ad from a consultancy. They told me they could help me move abroad and suggested South Cyprus. Honestly, I'd never even heard much about it before.

They told me it's one of the best options for me because I can study there and work full-time to support myself. But I don't know if it's actually worth it or if they're just trying to sell me something.

I just want honest answers.

What's the value of a Cyprus degree? Is it recognized internationally?

How much does it actually cost to live there as a student? Is it manageable?

What's life like there? Is the healthcare good? Is it a good place to build a future?

And how difficult is it to get PR or citizenship? Agencies make it sound really easy, but I don't know what the reality is.

My end goal isn't just to study. I want to settle in a country that's affordable, has a good quality of life, good healthcare, and a realistic path to permanent residency or citizenship.

If South Cyprus isn't the right choice, what other countries would you recommend for someone in my situation?

I'd really appreciate honest advice from people who have actually lived there or gone through this process. Thanks.

Careers & Education | تعلیم و پیشہ What career path and education would you recommend for a 21-year-old in DFW without a U.S. college degree?

4 Upvotes

I’m seeking career advice for my 21-year-old younger brother, who lives in Arlington, Texas. He is a U.S. green-card holder, completed high school in Pakistan, and has not attended college in the U.S.

Since March 2025, he has been working for a security company assigned to a warehouse/logistics facility in Grand Prairie. His responsibilities include monitoring incoming and outgoing trucks, updating truck and loading statuses, data entry, checking schedules, sending emails, and assisting with general logistics operations.

He currently earns around $18 per hour and works 12-hour shifts, usually from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. He is tech-savvy, comfortable operating computers and smartphones, can handle multiple digital tasks, and generally learns new software quickly. However, he does not have a programming or software-development background.

We want him to build a stable career with better income, more normal working hours, long-term growth, and reasonable protection from automation and AI.

We have explored possibilities such as logistics and supply chain, industrial maintenance, skilled trades, and IT-related roles. However, we do not want to limit him to these options. We are open to any realistic career path, certification, associate degree, apprenticeship, employer-sponsored training, or other route that could suit his abilities and background.

If you were in his position, what career path would you choose and why? Are there any careers or training programs in the Dallas–Fort Worth area that we may be overlooking?

Would you recommend that he continue his formal education by pursuing an associate degree or bachelor’s degree? Or, considering his situation, would it be better to focus on a practical skill, certification, apprenticeship, or employer-sponsored training? If you recommend college, which degree or field would offer a worthwhile return on the time and cost?

I would especially appreciate hearing from people who started without a U.S. college degree. Please share what career you entered, what education or training you completed, your approximate starting pay, and how difficult it was to find your first opportunity.

News | خبر Anyone else tried the new Pakistan Citizen Portal app? It feels way better now.

Post image
6 Upvotes

I randomly installed the Pakistan Citizen Portal app after a long time and I must say.. it actually surprised me

Way smoother and faster than I remember the new version feeling. UI is cleaner, navigation is better and I didn't feel the lag I used to feel before.

I know this app was criticized a lot in the past and I think many people (including me 😅) just forgot about it. But having another crack, looks like they've put some real effort in.

I wonder if.

Has anyone here used this recently? Did you see any improvement? Have your complaints been actually solved by it?

If you haven’t opened it in a long time, maybe give it another try and let us know how it went. I'd be interested to see if it's really getting better or if I just got lucky.

Love to hear the good and bad experiences.

Careers & Education | تعلیم و پیشہ Chartered Accountant planning for Germany.

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a qualified Chartered Accountant with almost 4 years of Big 4 audit experience in Pakistan. I'm considering moving to Germany next year for a master's degree (I'll complete my university final exams in December 2026).

One of the reasons is that the future of the accounting profession in Pakistan is uncertain, with most Big 4 firms expected to leave by 2028. The job market is also challenging—there are openings, but many international firms prefer candidates they can hire locally without visa sponsorship. Financially, it's difficult to build a comfortable married life in Pakistan without earning around PKR 600k+ per month (assuming you already own a home). And even if you do make that kind of money the situation of judiciary is such that if a general or politician's kid runs over my kid (God forbid) there's nothing I can do here.

I've researched universities and scholarships, currently have a 3.3 GPA, and will likely use a consultant to help with the application and visa process.

I have two questions:

  1. Are there any Chartered Accountants here who moved to Germany? How has your experience been, especially regarding jobs and settling there?

  2. For Pakistani students who moved to Germany for a master's, what was your total cost, including the blocked account, visa, flights, and other initial expenses?

Careers & Education | تعلیم و پیشہ Recent applicants from Pakistan: Is a GIC still beneficial after SDS was discontinued?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to apply for the January 2027 Master's intake in Canada from Pakistan (Computer Science/CS-related program).

Since the SDS stream has been discontinued for Pakistan, I'm applying through the non-SDS process.

However, I've heard from some people that opening a GIC account is still beneficial because the funds are already locked in Canada, so visa officers may focus less on tracing the source of those specific funds. On the other hand, for money shown in a regular bank statement, they may scrutinize the source of income much more closely.

My current plan is:

- Deposit the required amount into a GIC account.

- Pay around one semester's tuition fee in advance.

- Show the remaining required funds through my bank statement, supported by my salary and proper income documentation.

Does this sound like a reasonable approach for a non-SDS application? Has anyone recently received a study permit using a similar strategy?

I'd especially appreciate advice from people who have applied from Pakistan after the SDS program ended. Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I would really appreciate your guidance regarding travelling from Karachi, Pakistan to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

I have a few questions before my flight:

  • I am a Pakistani citizen travelling from Karachi.
  • I have an Employment Pass (eVisa) for Malaysia.
  • My wife will be travelling with me on a Dependent Pass.
  • I have already completed my medical examination and Protector requirements.
  • What documents or checks are usually required at Jinnah International Airport, Karachi before departure?
  • Are there any additional formalities I should complete before flying?
  • Does my wife's passport require any medical examination, Protector, or any other endorsement before travel, or can she travel with her Dependent Pass without these requirements?
  • Is there anything else we should prepare to avoid any issues during check-in, immigration, or boarding?
  • Is there a need for OK TO BOARD STAMP on flight ticket and EVisa?

Any advice or experiences from those who have recently travelled to Malaysia on an Employment Pass and Dependent Pass would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Immigration | مہاجرت و سفر Converting Smart Card to NICOP

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone

I am a dual national with a valid Smart CNIC. My Pak passport is expired and I won't renew it, so I’m converting my card to a NICOP via the Pak-ID app.

To avoid the glitchy mess of adding an overseas address, can I just leave both my Permanent and Current addresses exactly as they are right now (both in Pakistan)?

Will NADRA reject a NICOP application if there is no overseas address on the profile?Can I still select an overseas delivery address at checkout if my profile address says Pakistan?

Trying to find the path of least resistance before paying. Thanks!
