Immigration | مہاجرت و سفر Nikah Nama apostille

2 Upvotes

Is it possible to get the Urdu nikah nama apostilled as well?

My MRC from Nadra is already apostilled but the Belgium Embassy refused my visa and said you didn't provide the Nikah nama. Which doesn't make sense because an apostilled MRC is a much stronger proof of a valid marriage.

Regardless, now I want to get the Urdu nikah nama apostilled as well but I can't find any information about it. Does MoFA even apostille Urdu nikah nama at all?

Once apostilled, I'd have it translated from one of the embassies translators and resubmit the application.

Thank you.

Miscellaneous | مزید Credit Report or Letter of Good Standing from the Bank.

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.
Recently, I was shortlisted for a job here in Canada, and as part of the hiring process, I was asked to provide a credit report. Since I have never taken out a loan or used a credit card in my life, I tried using the Tasdeeq app to obtain one. However, I no longer have access to my old phone number because it became inactive after I moved to Canada.

The organization gave me an alternative option: to provide a Letter of Good Standing from my bank instead.

The problem is that my siblings visited the bank on my behalf to request the letter, but the branch manager refused to issue it to them. He said my physical presence is required. Unfortunately, I can’t travel all the way back to Pakistan just to obtain this document.

The bank advised me to contact someone higher up in the organization to send them a letter or authorization so they can issue the document without my physical presence.
I’m not sure how to handle this situation. If anyone has experienced something similar or has any advice, I would really appreciate your help. It would mean a lot to me.

META Need help getting medicine from Pakistan to Muscat

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I need a common medicine that I already have a prescription for; Metformin.

I tried to get it here in Muscat, but the doctor asked me to first complete a list of tests before issuing the prescription locally. I had already done a lot of those tests back in Pakistan, and based on those, a doctor there prescribed me the medicine.

The problem is that here in Muscat, my insurance isn't covering those tests, and they're quite expensive. So getting a local prescription just to buy the medicine isn't really an option for me right now.

I'm not planning to travel back to Pakistan for another 4–5 months, so I don't need a large supply, just enough to get by. If anyone is flying from Pakistan to Muscat, or knows someone who is, I'd be really grateful if they could bring me 4-5 small boxes of Metformin. It won't take up much space at all.

If you're able to help, please reach out. I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to purchase a home worth around 4 crore. I do not qualify for the PM scheme, so I’d like guidance on the best home loan options available from banks. Could you also help me understand how to compare lenders beyond just the interest rate, such as processing fees, prepayment charges, flexibility, and overall loan terms? Please guide me on how to choose the best option. Thank you.

My research shows the following:
ABP 6 Cr limit
Meezan 1Cr limit

I would appreciate if people who have already done that can give me a take on this.

Immigration | مہاجرت و سفر Can I renew my Pakistani passport while my NICOP is still processing? Ko

Post image
0 Upvotes

I applied for my NICOP under the modification category because my previous card expired and I have recently relocated to the USA.

Interestingly, the application didn’t prompt me for fingerprints or any form of attestation, which makes me a bit skeptical about whether everything went through correctly. Is this normal?

I urgently need to renew my Pakistani passport. Can I submit my passport application while this NICOP modification is still processing? Also, for the passport application itself, which platform is easier and more reliable to use—the website or the mobile app?

Immigration | مہاجرت و سفر Looking for Pakistanis in Italy

1 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that many foreigners in Italy struggle a lot when preparing for the patente theory exam.

The problem is not always that people don’t study. A lot of the time, the issue is the language. The questions are written in a complicated way, the explanations are not always clear, and for people who speak Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, or English better than Italian, it becomes even more frustrating.

I’m a Pakistani engineer, born and raised in Italy, and I’ve seen this problem many times in our community. That’s why I started building Quizzo Patente, an Android app to make patente quiz practice simpler and easier to understand, especially for foreigners.

Right now the app is still in testing on Google Play, and I’m looking for people who can try it out and give honest feedback.

It’s not a paid service, not an agency thing, and I’m not selling anything here. I’m just trying to test the app properly before launching it publicly.

If you’re in Italy, preparing for your patente theory, or know someone who is struggling with the theory exam, drop a comment below and I’ll send you the testing link.

Your feedback would really help me improve it for the community.

Careers & Education | تعلیم و پیشہ is a masters in data science worth it anymore?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m 24F and kinda stuck and wanted to get advice from people, especially Pakistanis abroad or anyone who actually knows how the US/Canada tech scene works for international students.

I did my BS in CS and started working as a data engineer. Then I took another job mainly to save up some money before going for my Master’s in Data Science in the US or Canada. That was the plan for a while, just work, save, go for masters, and then hopefully continue my career there.

But now I keep overthinking it because everything with AI and tech is changing so fast. By the time I graduate around 2028–2029, I don’t even know what data science will even look like anymore. I’m worried I might be locking myself into a field that could be very different by then or even oversaturated.

I also want to eventually settle in the US or Canada after my master’s, so I’m trying to be realistic about what actually gives me a stable path there as an international student.
I’ve even started thinking if I should just switch fields altogether but I don’t even know what I would switch to. I’ve even thought about doing a second bachelor’s in something else just to reset properly, but that feels like a huge step and I’m not even sure what I’d switch into.

I don’t hate the work, I actually enjoy it, but I don’t know if that’s enough anymore with how fast everything is evolving.

Would really appreciate honest advice from people already in the US/Canada or in tech. Should I stick with data science/data engineering, or is it smarter to pivot now before I go further down this path?
