Do I have a chance of winning scholarship?

Hi!

My goal is to get fully funded scholarship in countries like Germany, Hungary, China or Japan. And I have got almost no money. Only for IELTS and GRE and just little more.

I want to do masters in field of Computer Science from a good foreign university with good facilities which will help me grow.

I do not want to go abroad just for the sake of getting out of Pakistan. I really want to do research work, close to super computers or something like that. My interests are HPC, Computational Science, Simulations and AI.

My CGPA is 3.6 and studied from very mediocre university. But I'm pretty good in Computer Science and Mathematics. And still learning things which I don't know.

I just wanted to ask

How much chance do I have?

How I can improve my chances?

Where should I apply?

Which tests I need to give which are mandatory?

Thanks!

Karachi | Passport Collection

I applied for my passport on 5 May 2026. On 13 May 2026, I received an SMS from 9988 saying that my passport had been dispatched and could be collected from the passport office according to the date mentioned on my slip.

The delivery/collection date on my slip is 25-05-2026.

Does the SMS mean my passport has actually arrived at the Saddar Passport Office and is ready for collection, or do I need to wait for another message?

I'm a bit confused because a friend told me that one of his friends had to wait 4 - 5 months to receive their passport.

I'd appreciate it if anyone who has recently gone through the process could clarify. Thanks!

Help me to choose a country from Europe for masters

Hello everyone. So I was looking for a master's program in Poland previously, but after doing my research, I got to know that the visa situation for Poland from Pakistan is very bad. Almost all of the visas are rejected. Now I'm looking for alternatives, but I cannot really decide which ones to choose.

My options are: France; Italy; Germany (I kept it on the third place because I think it is too crowded and visa appointment issues); Czech Republic;

Masters in Germany

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some guidance regarding pursuing a Master's in Germany. I completed my Bachelor's in Computer Science from FAST with a CGPA of 3.8 (June 2026) and am currently working as an Associate Software Engineer at a good company.

I'm planning to apply for a Master's in Computer Science or a related field and would appreciate recommendations for universities that have a strong international reputation, excellent employment prospects, and good industry connections, especially those that offer opportunities for working student (Werkstudent) positions and zero tuition-fee. Should I apply for summer intake or winter intake 2027?

I'm also interested in learning about scholarships or fully funded opportunities available for international students.

If anyone has gone through this process or is currently studying in Germany, I'd be grateful if you could share your experience, suggest universities that would be a good fit for my profile, and advise me on how to approach the application process to maximize my chances of admission and funding. Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

University of Luxembourg: MSc Audit and Accounting.

Hi everyone,

I’m from Pakistan, preparing my application files for the University of Luxembourg.

I want to realistically plan my strategy given the competitive admissions landscape and definitely secure a seat!

In this regard, I am here to seek advise from experienced individuals.

My Profile:

ACCA Part-Qualified (9 papers cleared) + BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University (Upper Second-Class honors).

2 years of part-time remote accounting experience as an accountant.

IELTS Academic 6.5 (I may retry for 7 bands)

Main Concerns:

I came to know that the Master in Accounting and Audit has limited seats/slots per intake.

Given this low acceptance rate, does an BSc Hons in Applied Accounting and minimum accounting experience with relavent certifications score a chance or do they prioritize pure academic profiles?

If the Audit program is too narrow, would applying for the MSc in Finance and Economics give me a safer probability of acceptance?

The committee places huge weight on the motivation letter and the "Prior Grades" evaluation tool.

What specific angles should an accounting/ACCA background highlight to stand out?

Should I emphasize tech-accounting shifts (like data/ERP systems), or should I immediately enter into any tiwr organization only for the purpose of relavent experience?

Would love to hear from my fellows. What should I be considering.

Thank you!

Hoe to transfer money to blocked account (for Germany)

Hello everyone. I need to transfer money to Expatrios blocked account for student visa for Germany. I have a regular account in Meezan Babk with the required amount, and I am not sure how to transfer the money using a bank transfer. Do I need a foreign currency account? Do I need to go to the bank itself, or can the process be done through the banking app? Could someone please tell me the steps? Thank you in advance!

Hard truth needed: Stay in PK, move abroad now, or transfer later? (18F)

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some unfiltered advice from people who are living abroad or have been in my shoes. I’m an 18-year-old trying to decide my next steps for university, and I’m completely torn between three paths.
My first option is to stay in Pakistan. My family will cover my tuition, meaning no financial stress. I can focus on my academics and use my free time to level up my digital skills to earn an income on the side. It keeps me in my comfort zone, but I’d have to deal with the general uncertainty of staying in the country right now.
My second option is to move abroad immediately for my Bachelor's. While it sounds amazing on paper, social media has given me a major reality check. I'm realizing I’d likely have to work grueling hours at a part-time job just to survive and keep up with high tuition fees, all while dealing with serious homesickness.
To those who moved abroad straight after high school, was the struggle to balance work and fees worth it, or do you wish you had stayed home a bit longer? If you stayed in Pakistan and focused on online skills, do you regret not leaving earlier? And for anyone who tried the transfer route, is it actually feasible or too complicated? Let me know your thoughts.

Question regarding Canadian Express Entry

So, I was looking into pathways for immigration and came across this. Looks pretty straight forward and safe-ish (no huge money involved).

I was just wondering if people here have actually used this route to get passport/citizenship? I mean, let's say someone completes Bachelor's (tech related) from a Pakistani uni at 23, works in their field for 3 to 4 years (here or KSA), gives IELTS (scores decent w multiple attempts), applies before 30 (this has points!) and learns some level of French (again for points). How difficult this could be or am I missing something?

Planning to apply Student Visa sa Canada after graduation

Problem/Goal:
I want to apply a student visa and is it still worth it to apply sa Canada? and of course i'm doing this so that i have better future and career na rin. (Soon to be a BSIT college graduate)

I have no connections or relatives sa ibang bansa, and i've been dreaming of migrating na rin sa ibang bansa since i was SHS. The only option left is to study abroad (masteral or 2nd degree), apply a student visa and graduate there in 2 years, then grab an intership/job related to my program ko here in the PH and in Canada, and apply to be a citizen na rin.

Also, hindi pa ako fully educated sa mga ganitong stuff pero i've been reading some articles, stories, and etc. online. I'm graduating na soon!! Meron naman na ako naipon pero it's not enough pa and medj nasa kalahati na rin yung budget ko para maging student doon. (I know na kulang kulang million yung need mo para tumira dun for 2-3 years as a student). And if kung papalarin makapunta sa canada, i think di naman sila strict when it comes to part time jobs (for extra income na rin).

Saka after grad i think mag-work na rin and gain experience here in the Philippines for atleast 2-3 years!!

To the people who have the same goals as mine or may experience na. Let me know kung ano sa tingin niyo if magsettle na lang ako here sa Pilipinas or continue my plans to go abroad.

Need help / advice 25M stuck on dead end gov “soft dev” job Canada

My life has turned into hell ever since I realized I might be stuck here in a hub job in Canada forever if I don’t live right now but my skills have deteriorated , my soft dev job is barely a tech job (it’s pays avg) it’s mostly architecture documentation hell and I am sick of it. I feel so irrelevant .

I’m 25m have student debt, and family financial commitment . Single and don’t plan on marrying as I’m in full depression and can’t sleep and obsessing over future .

Should I do master in finance or MBA and try to pivot my career altogether I would be willing to start at bottom . There is no growth where I currently am and I also don’t think there is growth in software industry as whole unless it’s big tech . Basically I now understand that tech is a Kia white collar labour job.
Please give me advice
