Migration is the process by which individuals can move to a foreign country and settle there permanently. Over time, they may also qualify for citizenship of that country.
Each country has its own immigration requirements. However, a common factor among them all is the need to address skill shortages.
Based on immigration rule changes and the ease of migration, the preferences of Pakistanis for immigration vary each year. This year, these are the top countries Pakistanis are choosing to immigrate to upon meeting the required criteria.
Canada is among the top countries for migration primarily because of its straightforward immigration system. Migration to Canada has been simplified with the introduction of the “Express Entry” program since 2015. Pakistanis find Canada appealing as it is the first country in the world to adopt a points-based system and issue visas to candidates based on their skills and points.
After being on the sidelines for a decade, the UK has emerged as a new go-to destination for the purpose of work or settling down. The new UK immigration programs target skilled workers from various sectors, particularly IT, engineering, healthcare, and other professions. Pakistani individuals find the UK appealing due to these opportunities for skilled workers.
Immigrating to Australia has been a top choice for professionals for many years. Similar to Canada, Australia also operates on a point-based system. The country utilizes a list of occupations to invite skilled talent. Each year, based on occupational demand, candidates are invited with high or low priority. Pakistani professionals find Australia an attractive destination due to these opportunities and the point-based immigration system.
Germany is an unsung hero for many professionals from Pakistan, particularly those with backgrounds in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The German job seeker visa is one of the most sought-after visas. Its easier and quicker application process, along with exemption from the IELTS exam, attracts many skilled workers to consider Germany as their destination of choice.
Known as the “East’s West,” Hong Kong’s robust economy attracts professionals from various sectors including finance, logistics, shipping, IT, and healthcare. The Quality Migrant Admission Scheme (QMAS) visa is designed to fast-track the visa process for highly skilled professionals, making Hong Kong an enticing destination for Pakistani individuals seeking opportunities in these fields.
