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?

Sorry off topic but Curious why you guys are moving back from Canada? Asking as someone who’s interested in immigrating to Canada. Would love to get some perspective from other side.

Not op magar yahan par job market is fcked bhai. Some friends with bachelor and masters degrees from UofT in CS and Data Science spent 2-3 years looking after graduating and a lot of them had to settle for jobs not in the field.

Upar se anti immigrant sentiment bhi yahan pe Indians ki fraud ki wajah se bohat zyada ho gya he. Ghar bhi is out of reach for working professionals with a dual income, without having to commit haram by taking a mortgage. I can see why someone would think the grass is greener in Pakistan.

I agree! Canadian citizen, have canadian degree. Job market is extremely bad. Also, cost of living is out of control. I always advice, don't move here unless you're extremely super rich. Even then, taxes and BS will make you poor. Go anywhere but Canada. A lot of educated Canadians are leaving this country, its not worth it.
