Hi there, Farah.

I’m in Dubai too and have been here for 34 years now and I’m 34 so you do the math and agree with you this place has gone down the dumps and really does not have a future so planning to move from now is a good idea

Anyways moving to the US is almost impossible specially after 9/11 and I have many friends from school days ( many now US citizens ) who are there and things are not that great there either.

Look a little north of the border at Canada which has a very decent and flexible immigration program and also Australia and New Zealand have a bit stricter but not impossible programs.

Here is the Canadian govt immigration website

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp

And Australian

http://www.immi.gov.au/

Everything you need to know is listed there, but do as much research as possible on deciding where to go. Both are not hugely expensive even for a middle class average joe.

But look into exactly what each has to offer. After almost about a years worth of research I have decided to apply for Australian immigration instead of Canadian, although my initial choice was Canada.

UK and netherlands also have immigration programs but personaly I am not keen on either so didn’t look into them into much detail. But you can have a look into them aswell and maybe they will suit your needs.

Hope that helps

Cheers

One country that impressed me the most is “Canada”.
USA did not impress me in terms of living comfortability or how many Steps & Years you have to wait and then achieve 'Citizen status with right to vote.

About canada .. my khala lives there she is a citizen her husband is working as a manager in some company but i often hear her saying that living in canada is expensive as compared to america eg:appartment rents are very high +alot of taxes + to get a citizenship it takes ALOT OF YRS ( my khala got citizenship after 5 yrs)… apart from this my mamoo and my fiance’s sister lives in america.. my mamoo says america is more cheaper ( eg rents,food items etc etc) than canada ( my mamo got citizenship i guess after 4yrs “he is running a business and he pays taxes regulary” ) on the other hand my fiance’s sis got citizenship after 3 yrs (her hubby works as a nurse)

we r really tensed these days .. unfortunately paki how did u apply for an australian immigration? can u share some details everything? if ur not comfortable to discuss here just pm me.. I have heard that living in *australia is expensive *as well i dont know its true or not…

few questions:
Is it easy to appy for a canadian / australian immigration?
can any1 of them ( my relatives) sponsor us?
how can we apply for a student visa?how long will it take?
what are the eduaction expenses out there?
if we come on student visa what are the chances of job?will it b illegal to work on student visa?
can i easily get a job if i complete a 2yrs programme in (radiology or sonography) whats the average salary of these 2 professions?
YES money plays an important role in all this process…so my last Q is how much MONEY do we need in order to achieve this target
..i know strong bank statement counts alot so how much do we need to put in our banks to hold a good bank statment

Hope to hear more from you guyz
