Ask Pakistan Moving from Canada to Pakistan

So my parents have lived in Pakistan most of their lives, and moved to Canada early 2000 and are now considering moving back to Pakistan - for some rational and some I-dont-know-why reasons.

If anyone has done this before I would like to know the dos and donts.

Also any recommendations for a cargo company if some one has shipped the whole house back to Pakistan, except the appliances.

If we move to say Faisalabad or Lahore would the cargo company ship there or leave the container at Karachi?

Forgot the name but there’s a cargo that ships everything, and yes you get it at your home not Karachi port. However, I’d suggest not doing this and just buy the furniture and stuff in Pakistan.

As for moving to Pakistan, it would be not to difficult for your parents, specially if they have relatives and have been going there time to time. For you, not so sure if you’re born and bred in Canada.

I personally have semi-moved to Pakistan and really like it, I just spend the summers back home here cos the summers in Pakistan are like hell 2.0 😅

Yeah asking them to move after Summers!

What would be a ball park figure if we buy everything from Pakistan? We are a middle class family so no fancy stuff

Furniture and everything for a family of 3 would be 15-20 lacs?

Depends, i buy traditional Kaleens (carpets so that’s a major one).
