Hey everyone,
I’m 24F and kinda stuck and wanted to get advice from people, especially Pakistanis abroad or anyone who actually knows how the US/Canada tech scene works for international students.

I did my BS in CS and started working as a data engineer. Then I took another job mainly to save up some money before going for my Master’s in Data Science in the US or Canada. That was the plan for a while, just work, save, go for masters, and then hopefully continue my career there.

But now I keep overthinking it because everything with AI and tech is changing so fast. By the time I graduate around 2028–2029, I don’t even know what data science will even look like anymore. I’m worried I might be locking myself into a field that could be very different by then or even oversaturated.

I also want to eventually settle in the US or Canada after my master’s, so I’m trying to be realistic about what actually gives me a stable path there as an international student.
I’ve even started thinking if I should just switch fields altogether but I don’t even know what I would switch to. I’ve even thought about doing a second bachelor’s in something else just to reset properly, but that feels like a huge step and I’m not even sure what I’d switch into.

I don’t hate the work, I actually enjoy it, but I don’t know if that’s enough anymore with how fast everything is evolving.

Would really appreciate honest advice from people already in the US/Canada or in tech. Should I stick with data science/data engineering, or is it smarter to pivot now before I go further down this path?

I am a 33 year old British Pakistani doctor currently working in England. Looking for a compatible match of similar age.

Hey guys
I am a UAE mbbs graduate interested in residency in pakistan. Is it possible? Can i have a brief idea where to start & if its feasible because i see a lot of negativity abt it

I know this is totally, totally delusional ask, but I want to know anyway.

I'm 28 from ISB. I had a long history of dealing with depression and OCD, which means sorting those out I missed out on making most of my early twenties. Now I'm starting to enjoy life a little again and I'm searching for other options. My degrees in healthcare biotech are worthless and I'm trying to transition to CRM side. I got a couple of internships lined up in reputable tech companies.

Seeing the way our country is and the job market down in the drains, how remotely realistic is to get a job in US in a year or two? Like if there is a slight possibility, how can I plan the move if there is. Keeping in mind I know absolutely nothing about visas and stuff and like I said this is a very delusional ask.

Has anyone imported their stuff from Pakistan to USA. And how do you do it?

Guys is there any update for pakistanis visas in uae for both permanent and visit. are the visas open right now for pakistanis??.

Hi everyone, i was wondering if someone has recently travelled from UK to Pak through emirates/etihad/qatar airways ? Due to the war ongoing, I am not sure which one is better to fly with ?

I have fixed annual leave days so PIA is pretty much out of option due to fewer flights but happy to hear thoughts if someone has travelled via PIA ?

Thank you so much for your answers.

Hello my father is a US citizen born in Pakistan the only proof of Pakistan heritage he has is a old Pakistani manual hand written passport and thats it he hasn’t been to Pakistan in over 20 years but he finally wants to visit Pakistan soon will it be easier to just travel with visa to Pakistan and apply for CNIC in Pakistan? Or what will be the steps of obtaining NICOP in the US?i have a NICOP also born in the US with my fathers name on it can i show my NICOP as blood family?

After the recent FBR incident, how many people will still keep their money in Pakistan's banks? And those who already have money deposited — will they withdraw it or not? What's your take on this?"

Hi everyone,

I am from Peshawar, I'm tired of the low salaries here. I have around PKR 2 million saved and want to know if I have a realistic chance of migrating for work.

My profile:

4-year BS in Microbiology

Experience in sales, government tenders, and medical devices

I'm considering Ireland, Australia, UAE, and Saudi Arabia.

Is my budget enough? Which country offers the best chance for someone with my background? I'd really appreciate advice from people who have gone through this or work in immigration.

Thanks!

Hello,

I applied for a visa last year and it was a simple process (and free!!). Unfortunately, my plans fell through so I applied again this year. The system has changed so much in just 1 year — they now charge $90; plus they are asking me for way more information.

I plugged in everything and just received an email stating I need: 1) my NADRA card (never had one, I never lived in Pakistan), 2) my parents Pakistani passport (they haven’t had one in decades). I think it may also say “Passport” which leads me to think it may be whatever passport they have—which in case I have my mom’s, but by dad passed away 20 yrs ago and I don’t have his paperwork.

Why are they asking for so much documentation? As a grown, independent adult, at what point does the Pakistani government stop asking about parental info?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙏🏼

Sorry if this isn't a good place to post this but I'm writing a book at the moment and one of the characters is Pakistani, I just wanted to make sure that the families names made sense and was wondering if anyone could tell me if these are accurate?

The book is set in Britain (Birmingham) in the 90's. The family are -

- Basheer Zaman (father, 1st gen immigrant)

- Kaniz Zaman (mother, 1st gen immigrant)

- Ahmed Zaman (son, born in the UK)

- Hiba Zaman (daughter, born in the UK)

- Ayesha Zaman (daughter, born in the UK)

- Maryam Zaman (daughter, born in the UK)

Is there anything inaccurate in there and do they sound like a cohesive family?

Very appreciative of anyone who can help :) Thank you!
