1) If people are so patriortic to Pakistan and are ready to defend any negative about the country blindly, Why are you guys leaving Pakistan to come to Canada? Wouldn't it make Pakistan a weaker nation since all of the patriortic people leaving the country and the country would be left with corrupt people only?
I'll give you a generic answer; if you need to know why I am here then let me know and I will disclose my identity and purpose of being migrated here by sending you PM
First of all, mind you, no one is blindly defending anything!
Now, coming back to your question:
1) Some got transferred here due to their company multinational culture (e.g Microsoft, google, IBM and many more..)
2) Some people landed here for study purpose (no harm in that as our Prophet [PBUH] said few words in favor:Seek knowledge, even if you have to go to China...)
3) Some people are handling their business[import/export] by sitting in Canada and they have offices in Canada as well as in Pakistan (Tajarat/business stayed our Nabi [PBUH] profession and following sunnah is good)
4) Some people think that they can generate enough money and they can support their people in back home so we have work permit category in Canada as-well.
5) We do have Pakistani govt official working here in Canada [maybe that's not their favorite choice but they were asked to do so..]
6) some came here because their spouses are living here (family reunification category which applies to your spouse as-well)
and Many more categories....
My friend, in early 80's people used to go to Saudi, Dubai/UAE OR middle eastern countries to do jobs and businesses; later trend got changed and a majority of people started going to UK, Europe and Russia, later after that trend again got changed and people started coming to States and Canada.
There is nothing wrong in living/working in any country; where ever you go and whatever you do, you will be still known as Pakistani [fact is no one can change his skin color]. If you do something wrong by living abroad then you are basically disturbing the whole nation/Pakistan's reputation. You are living in those countries as a Ambassador to Pakistan. Even though you are living outside of Pakistan but I think you still can do a lot for Pakistan. It's not like that you have made Pakistan weak by migrating from Pakistan to some other country. I think its better that now we have more Pakistanis in abroad or in countries like Canada /USA/UK. Now we not only have Pakistani official voices working in those countries but we also have normal Pakistanis/people who are living in those countries as their citizens and could become good Pakistani voices.
We overseas Pakistanis are a great asset for Pakistan. I don't know how much you are familiar with Pakistan's economy but statistics shows that we over sears Pakistanis are contributing a lot in that economy and we can still do more about that.
Problem comes and started when we/Ambassadors to Pakistan start cursing Pakistan by sitting in those countries even though we know Islam says, for believers, cursing is forbidden.
Now, don't say I/someone else disturbed the purpose of this forum. You asked something and I answered. You gave your opinion and you asked questions I gave you answer and my opinion.
Brother loner gave his opinion about Pakistan and I gave mine. if someone thinks that those type of discussion should not be happening here and we should stick with the purpose of the forum then at very first place that someone should be choosing his words with great care and responsibility and should not be exposing his opinions which may end in this type of discussion.
Danny, I did't answer your 2nd question as I think Mr. Loner is the one who could have reply for that. Mr. Loner, even, I would be happy to see your so called PM about Danny's 2nd question - in-case, if you are afraid of disturbing the purpose of the forum. I am curious (as Danny is) to know the answer to Danny's second question
Peace
!!!!!!!
