I watched your video and it appears you are replicating our story. 😮😮😮 Moved from Abu Dhabi, landed on September 22nd, and followed the same steps... Started from Canada and ended up in the UK 😂 Alhumdulilah.... I enjoy the work culture and scenery here... Rest is fine.

Hi Hamid, Thank you for your comment. I am so glad this video is reaching out to people with similar stories and backgrounds :D It is like through this video I have found a community of people who are willing to help one another.

Alhumdulilah, we are used to of his routine and getting along now... All the best to you both... Keep producing good stuff....

Just watched your first video from your channel. Interesting watch. As a uk born Pakistani I would recommend moving to yorkshire. Leeds is very good. Alot cheaper then luton with a very diverse population. I dont think you would have buses coming late there. Plenty of halal places and also other cities near by with good shopping facilities for asians.

[@OsamaSiddiqui]

Thank you for your comment :) Really appreciate the insight. I have a friend who lives in Leeds and have heard similar benefits of living there. The biggest benefit of Living besides the halal food and comfortable living is that my office is not too far from here. Hopefully i'll visit leeds soon too.

Why you gave priority to Canada first? Than why you choose UK ? Why not Germany?

[@OsamaSiddiqui]

Didn't choose Germany back then because I thought Language would be an issue. Preferred Canada because of its Immigration policies, it is quicker to get nationality in Canada compared to the UK. Ended up in the UK because it became the only option at that time that me and my wife could move together.

[@Faz-j3e]

Atleast you are living in a better part of loot on

[@HashirRayanPk]

Do you recommend uk or Canada still?

[@OsamaSiddiqui]

I live in the UK and have not been to Canada ever so It wouldn't be right to say which country has a better life. However, I follow some KZbinrs who live in Canada and have met a couple recently from Canada they said life in Canada (Saskatoon) is better. To be honest, it is about your lifestyle, and how much you can adjust because hardships are everywhere! If you are thinking about moving then check out Ireland as well. it is part of the EU and immigration policies are not that strict compared to the UK.

Thank you for the comment brother. It depends on what your looking for, what are your reasons to moved to either country. UK and Germany both have different set of rules, pros and cons. It would be better for you to dig a little deeper and then weigh your options. If there is anything UK-specific then do ask. 👍

[@OsamaSiddiqui]

UAE is a dream, actually the Middle East overall. We missed our home in Dubai so much that we ended up going back to Dubai for almost a month instead of going back to Pakistan to meet family. I think UAE puts you under some kind of a spell. Agree to what you said about visiting doctors and Schools. Milton Keynes is a nice city, I've been there quite a few times now. Great choice.
