Moving out of Pakistan | Junaid Akram

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the number of people choosing to leave Pakistan and migrate to other countries. This phenomenon can be attributed to a variety of factors that collectively contribute to the desire for a different life elsewhere.
One significant reason behind this trend is the pursuit of better economic opportunities. Many individuals leave Pakistan in search of improved job prospects, higher wages, and increased career growth. Economic challenges such as unemployment and underemployment, coupled with limited avenues for professional development, prompt people to seek greener pastures abroad where they hope to secure a more prosperous future for themselves and their families.

I immigrated to New Zealand 21 years ago and never looked back. My kids are studying in top class universities and to be honest, we have strong Muslim communities who look after each other. By the way, I have more Indian brothers as friends than Pakistanis 😁

I moved to Finland in 2013 and have worked 12+ hours a way apart from university hours, of which six hours was delivering newspapers outside when (once) was -35 degrees Celsius. Now, I am working as a scientist and have gotten what is one of the strongest passports in the world. This video took me a decade back and everything in the video was spot on, voice of my heart. Thanks Junaid.

[@scientistwaqar]

@@imagine583 I would love to guide and help, but yours is an open ended question, and a specific query on any relevant matter will help me with what to suggest! Can you ask a specific query? Overall, it is a good place to study, but the benefits of staying in Finland transcend merely academic reasons. It is a social welfare state, which means that the government will take care of you, but on the flip side, also means that you are responsible for a lot of contribution to the social pool of money through your taxes if you are in the working class. I pay >35% of my income in taxes and other contributions, which is also shared with other EU states and Nordics. It is highly possible to find good opportunities after studies, especially in technology fields.

I moved to Germany in 2013 to pursue my education, and after seven years, I obtained my German passport. In 2019, I was diagnosed with blood cancer, and if I had been in Pakistan, it would have devastated my family financially. Fortunately, my insurance in Germany covered the cost of treatment, and I also received a significant portion of my salary from the insurance during the year I was unable to work. This meant that even while undergoing chemotherapy, I was able to support my family back home. Although my university job contract recently ended after five years, I am not worried about not having enough to eat because I will be paid for an entire year. I am confident that I will find a new job soon. In comparison, the situation in the Middle East is quite dire. Non-citizens do not enjoy many rights, and health insurance is often only available to those who work in certain well-paying jobs. There is little to no social safety net to fall back on in case of hardship. Now with the current situation in Pakistan, I am really happy that I got out. I think every family must have at least one person abroad in Pakistan as it is getting worse by the day. Our stupid Army is destroying the nation and if you are an average-income family, you need someone who can bear the brunt of inflation.

[@shayaansvlog566]

After finishing my bachelor's degree, my father's friend told me to come to Saudi, and his son would help me settle down. I refused at that time, prepared for IELTS, got the required score, and move to the UK for a master's. Finished my master's, went to Australia on a temporary visa, and prepared for permanent residency while on a temporary visa. Got my PR and citizenship later. A couple of months ago got contacted by the same person, asking me about the pathways to move to Australia because he lost his job in Saudi. So a little advice to those who are in GCC countries. Please use these countries as a platform and apply for the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia or Europe. Being a first-generation immigrant, you have to face a lot of hardships and have to swallow a very bitter pill. but trust me, in the end, it's all worth it.

As a Pakistani immigrant living in Canada, I totally agree with Junaid; living and managing your expanses in places like Europe and the Americas is undoubtedly difficult, but with time, persistence, and hard work, it pays off. Pakistan is regressing daily due of the ruling elite's lack of regard for the nation or its citizens. Na umeedi haram he, but I don't see a light because we've been persuaded to believe for so long that the main issue is with the politicians and the wealthy, which isn't entirely the case. It is the Establishment and the DHA Land Mafia. All of these generals of the armed forces reside abroad, have settled their families there, and are sending their children to schools there. The entire system has been poisoned and afflicted by these land mafias. It is painful to witness our fellow Pakistanis going through difficult times while we, the regular people, are unable to help since everyone who speaks out against the system is put behind bars and accused of crimes. I commend Junaid Akram for educating young people and common Pakistanis and using this platform for the greater good. May Allah reward you for your noble efforts.

[@LinuxUser123]

That's a very long text but I am interested in your move to Canada, did you go there for studying?

[@kachrachi]

Correct bro. Most Pakistanis still don't understand that the issue isn't Bajwa or Asim, the issue is structural. Pakistan is a military economy (from logistics to cement to cereal). A small elite will keep growing, rest will keep dying no matter whose government is in power. As an overseas Pakistani, my thoughts and prayers are with Pakistan. But I won't bet on it getting better.

O meray bhai, I am a ward of a military officer. I killed myself to get to the US in high school. My maternal aunt applied for our immigration (God bless her) and after that everything was on me including putting myself through Engineering school, getting my MBA and keeping myself employed in the technology sector. My Fauji father was never able to send me or my siblings any money for tuition and boarding on his army salary and that is the case of vast majority of fauj given less than 1% of the officer corps makes it to the rank of general. All he did was pay for my ticket to the US in the 1980s. I ran into some other Pakistanis who were also wards of retired officers and all of us worked odd jobs to get by on campus etc. There were always these rich Pakistanis but most were from the political or business elite. The rest, I completely agree with Junaid. You have to burn the midnight oil to get yourself ahead in the west. Alhamdulilah I have never taken a penny of financial assistance from any local/state government. Allah’s blessings and own hard work opened the door. I just wish more Pakistanis opt for higher education instead of looking to make a quick buck by working odd jobs, driving cabs in the west. Higher education is the ticket to excel and get ahead. Make sure you pursue this education path with single minded devotion!

[@kartikkkapadia]

what about racism did u ever experienced racism there?

[@TB-os9sn]

Positives of living in UK as compared to Pakistan: No Power cuts, No water tank, and good Gas pressure :-) Rule of law, NHS, free education. Supermarkets, fast internet, generally good transport system. Civilised driving, people queue, less pot holes in street, no open sewers, no mosquitos and less garbage and human waste on street. British summer, beaches and public parks. And most importantly people smile 🙂 Negative aspects of living in UK. RACISM and Islamophobia - the feeling thant you and your children do'nt belong here even if you have lived here all you life, paid your taxes and contributed to society. Racist attacks and demonisation of the Muslim community. The risk that your children and their decenedents wil leave the folds of Islam. A non islamic environment, alcohol, free mixing, sex outside marriage, nudity and pornography within public spaces including national TV. Non age appropriate sex education including LGBT issues. Eight months of poor weather and short days, you'll feel like a hamster hybernating. And worst of all the mindset that you and your children will be indoctrinated in that the individual in more important than society. The "me" mindset your rights over your responsibilities, combined with a the confused desi mindset you're not British or Pakistani ! Other things to bear in Mind: Nationality is'nt garunteed the UK government has created a "hostile environment" for migrants some of who have ended up living on the streets or have been deported before achieving nationality having spent thousands of pounds coming to UK, and being exploted in the black market in slave labour conditions.

[@FishingAdventuresPakistan]

You summoned it up perfectly . To add to this the health service so called NHS you will have to be on a waiting list for a year for any major treatment even if you have contributed National insurance past 15 years . Being young in London its great you can earn good money however there is no such thing called LIFE . There is no freedom or real happiness. You will only experience that in Pakistan

[@ReevanAmin-zu4bw]

You really exaggerated the racism. Not saying it doesn't exist but it's no where near as bad as you say it.

[@TB-os9sn]

​@@ReevanAmin-zu4bw Exaggeration ? I think the statistics speak for themself. More than doubling of hate crime in England and Wales from 2011 to 2020. 80,000 hate crimes a year, 1500 a week, 220 a day. 400% increas in Islamophobic hate crime in the same period.

We moved to Canada 20 years ago.. both my husband and I were in our mid to late 20s at the time and were doing extremely well in our careers.. but we moved for our son’s better future.. he was 4 at the time. The first few years were very tough as you said.. but we kept at it.. I started in contract jobs in my field but after about 3 years found my bearings here .. and grew my career over the years. Now, I am a VP in a global company and manage a team in 4 different countries. We are well settled here.. our son went to one of the top universities here and is now working MA. My advice is exactly what u said - try to come as early in life as u can.. and be prepared to work hard.. but also to do any kind of work .. i find people from our community are not willing to take lower level or contract type jobs as they feel it’s beneath them.. but in fact that is what builds your experience and character!

[@maxxter90]

Great analysis and fairly spot on. I moved to Melbourne around 20 years ago and like Junaid said the first few years were really tough.. the lack of halal food, mosques and the constant worry around funds was quite tough, the weather is quite harsh too.. in fact some of my friends actually decided to return but Alhamdulillah if Allah has decided something for you, you will eventually get it.. that said the only condition is hard work.. because I was young we worked hard and saw the miracle happen ..all those obstructions around immigration slowly went away and I've been a AU citizen for over 14 years now.. Life is still tough .. like Junaid said we have to manage the different cultural styles here but now the Muslim community is much more strong and we have many mosques and islamic education schools .. no issues around halal food either .. the only advice I will give is don't expect others to do things for you.. in the current age of IT everything every bit of info is online .. from university prospects to job opportunities to real estate options etc but what I see is most Pakistanis don't have the initiative to step ahead, they want all the info etc given to them rather than working hard to retrieve it. Anyhow if anyone is keen to learn more about living in AU you can contact me . Stay blessed and believe in Allah's plans for you

As you have rightly said that life in GCC is pretty easy (in general) as compared to Western world. People take it as granted and consider it as blessing. Yes, its a blessing but it has a shelf life.

So my advice to those who live in GCC, start applying from the Western countries from there as well. Remember, Pakistan k haalaat will be same for the next hundreds of years.

Alhamdulillah I did my undergrad from Pakistan worked in probably the best corporate employer for a few years and came to the states last year without getting a penny from my parents which is what I always wanted. Life here is not easy I’m literally on my way to my part time job right now. I’ll be working for almost more than half a day today, have learned so many lessons already by signing lease at the wrong place, working all kinds of jobs on campus from catering to IT specialist. But Alhamdulillah this is all just a stepping stone for my long term goals. Coming from a middle class background you are taught to think that you’re at a disadvantage but never ever let those voices define your journey. If you’re willing to put in the hard work and genuinely aspire to do something big in your life, set your goals timely and be ready to sacrifice your time with your family, it will InSha Allah work out in the long run.

Spot on analysis. I came to the U.S in early 2001. The first years are always challenging but like Junaid said, it gets a lot better later. I am comfortable now with a great family. I did miss my father’s funeral ( reached on the 3rd day) but made it barely to my mom’s death bed. This is the kind of price you pay to live a comfortable life here. I would add one thing to Junaid’s points: In my opinion, if you are younger ( say under 30), and are willing to face the initial music of khawari, America is the best place in the long run. If you are 30-35 plus, dont bother. It is harder to do things younger people can do when you are above a certain age. If you are older, plan to come here with some type of investment/capital because the big risk taking time likely has passed and you are better off investing in relatively safer things like gas stations, subways etc with somewhat stable and predictable income. If you are younger, however, take all the risks you can. It is called the land of opportunities for a reason. Good luck 👍

I have seen people there who didn't had their papers and just because of that they lost mostly all their families including father, mother etc and couldn't come back. They are still there with point of bo return as all of them are stuck there. Is that the price you want to pay just to be abroad? I have seen people succeed in Pakistan as well so please stop putting our country down. Yes there are problems here but trust me there are problems everywhere but of different kind.

Back when I was in the midst of finishing my college, I went to take the army psychometric tests etc. I passed with flying colours. During the initial medical in the room, I was referred to CMH due to having flat feet. I walked from the recruitment premises to CMH which was a 20 min walk. Upon arriving there, as a naive 17-18 year old, I was clueless so talked to a few army personnel to ascertain where I was going. I finally found the right place. There was a middle age army lower rank personnel there managing the forms/admin work. After ignoring me for several minutes, I tried the 3rd time to get his attention which pissed him off and he threw my application form on the floor with disdain whilst angrily telling me off to do what I can as he won’t process it. My poor teenager heart, spirit and confidence broke on the spot in the presence of bystanders but little did I knew he did me a great favour. A few months later, I emigrated to a developed western country, acquired higher education, settled here, and ended up working for some of the largest companies on the planet in varying roles and projects.

Just want to add that one should see middle east as a stepping stone where one should look to build savings and assets and then take those savings to first world countries and it will take you a long way. Also the skill set mismatch is one of the biggest challenge Pakistani youth is facing in my humble view, we are churning out grads but they lack hard and soft skills both and are not equipped to take up roles in top tier multinational companies unfortunately. Would suggest to do a video specific to this issue.

[@danielmodi9816]

I'm not from Pakistani and I don't know how I stumbled upon this video, but I strongly agree with Junaid. It's been 10 years I have settled down in Canada. I had my fair share of struggles here but this country values and respect talent, and utilize them for the good of community. Be wise before you choose ur options.

[@syedmahdi8733]

Coming from a person who was born in middle east and went to US for studies then came back to Pakistan and then migrated to Australia.. this is definitely true. Sums it up nicely.

[@PlayWaves1]

Now go back to Pakistan.

[@RayaanFaisal]

Junaid bhai, thank you so much for getting this conversation started. This is a topic very commonly discussed in our desi households but our family fails at showing a roadmap as to what to do or how to do it. As a 19 year old the thought of moving abroad is very daunting, especially with how you have your roots here, but for some reason this video has created a spark inside of me to research these regions and to explore new horizons. I personally have a lot of talents and have been working since I was 13, so alhumdulilah alhumdulilah I have a lot of work experience and have developed a good work ethic alhumdulilah (thanks to my parents and my mentors) and lets see what the future holds with us. If you could make this into an entire series or an extended discussion/podcast with those who have moved from Pakistan at a young age (18-25) and if they could share their experiences then that would be great. I think completing my Bachelors in PK and then planning to move to the US for Masters + Job would be a good idea, lets hope for the best InshaAllah. Thank you ❤

I was born and raised in Riyadh and I confirm that what he JUST MENTIONED IS 110% TRUE! I USED TO CRY OVER THE FACT THAT HERE THEY DON'T HAVE THE BASIC NECESSITIES!

[@5073094]

Bro,. how's your experience of.livimg in Riyadh?

[@syedali639]

I left the cushy childhood of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia where my dad was working for Canada at the age of 17 for University after having completed my A-Levels. The next 14 years were hard work, toil, depression, homesickness, lots of setbacks and recalibrations. Junaid bhai you are right 10-15 years of hard work and once you have your passport you are set. Interestingly enough, I moved to Dubai just earlier this year just after my son was born in Canada on a lucrative offer (education, housing covered etc.). So another way of looking at it is get your qualifications and passport and you can come back to the GCC countries as any G7 passport (UK, US or Canada) will get you access to top salary and benefits. Also the grooming you will get in the West will make you successful in your ventures no matter where you are in the world. I am now back close to my family in Saudi and Pakistan after a hard and long toil far from home. My advice, if going abroad, block a minimum of 5-7 years and have a solid plan of action. It took me 14 years to do the whole route (odd jobs, education completion, then 5 year work experience) because I just left for Canada with not much of a plan. But if you have a solid plan and are willing to put in the work, 5-7 years is all you need to make it! So in summary, Junaid bhai you are right! Thanks for this! P.S. American IS definitely the land of opportunity if you are single or only a couple. For families with children, Canada is better as you get access to their welfare system (Canada Child Benefit, Canada Energy Credit, Low Income Support etc.) to help you get your feet set

You are spot on explaining the pain and gain. Please emphasize as much as you can on getting a quality education, as lack of quality education remains a hurdle on individual's progress. Quality education/skills, being open minded on taking risks/chances ultimately leads one to a successful life.

[@BobaMaster5]

I moved to New Zealand with my family in my mid 30s which is still late but its better to more as early in your as possible and now I am well settled here. One thing that bothered me for long time after coming from middle east to NZ is the money factor. You earn more there in middle east but for short term. Its good for saving but if you want sustainable life, western countries are better. Muslim community has grown significantly so halal food is not an issue. A big shoutout to @Junaid Akram for doing this video and would like to offer my services if you need in this regards. JazakAllah

[@syedzain99]

Being a Pakistani who is working as a top executive in Marriott International here in Spain after living in UAE for 7 years , i would suggest to the middle class Pakistanis either graduate or students to move to the GCC countries first so they can learn and adapt the diversity of other cultures and work over there and then slowly slowly in their young life move out to any other place in the World. GCC provides immense opportunities to grow and learn. I have witnessed number of people moving out because of their commitment with their selves.

[@syedzain99]

Pakistanis : Languages and vocational skills are important learn them for less fees in your own country before moving out. Because our Passport is 3rd class nobody likes it and second your degrees are useless and 3rd most of you don't speak English. You read Quran whole your life and yet you do not understand and speak even Arabic either.

[@dudebro755]

bad advice, young ppl should move directly to western countries when young, adapting to the culture is more easy when young rather old

[@syedzain99]

​@@dudebro755 have you ever gone through the visa checklists of western countries in Pakistan? if so what do you think how many can fulfil that criteria in the middle or lower class families? what is the percentage of acceptance for the visa in western countries? i don't know about you but i have been recruiting people for Europe and North Africa and the most polished mindset of South asians you get is from GCC.

I had lived in Dubai for 13 years and immigrated to Canada 5 years ago. Alhamdolillah all went well. Plan for youth: Go to gulf in 20s and work for good 10 years. Make good savings, perform umra , haj, invite parents so they enjoy better life of gulf. When you have good savings and then apply forv Canada/ Aus immigration and leave the gulf in late 30s. If your father is rich to bear first year all expenses approx 30-35 lacs , then you need not go to Gulf , instead apply in Can/Aus as student in ur 20s and try to settle there and get PR. There is no other option other than what I have stated. Allah has made this whole world, if possible, niklo aur bahar bas jao.

Lived in ksa my entire childhood currently 20 moved 3 years ago back to Pakistan because of the taxes imposed on families in ksa and i have still not recovered from the fact that we are literally living centuries behind from travelling in latest model cars with AC in ubers to travelling on bikes without any safety measures, no roads, no signals, no infrastructure nothing. Not a single day goes by without any form of depression, be it loadshedding, no water,gas robberies hearing someone getting killed for not giving their phone to robbers, property frauds door ki baat general har cheez mai fraud bhai, corruption aur koi kaam refrence k bagair nhi possible. Aisa environment students ko dia jai toh kia expectations rakhtay ho is mulk k future k liay..
