A Comparison of Life in Pakistan and Life in Canada.

A Comparison of Life in Pakistan and Life in Canada.

                There is a world of difference between life in Canada and life in Pakistan. I recently immigrated to Canada from Pakistan,  the first thing I noticed was the completely different weather. After landing I checked my mobile weather update I was shocked to see how cold it was. But here the cold weather didn't create any hurdles in daily activities. Coming from Pakistan the major differences I noticed were traffic regulations, a helpful government, and  educational facilities.

                In Pakistan people don’t follow the rules and regulation of the roads. People make their own short cut rules. The Pakistani government doesn't pay proper attention to this main cause of accidental death. There is no proper age restriction for driving and also no proper check and balance in traffic  regulation. However in Canada it's a completely different scenario. In order to get a license you have to pass written exams and then get a learner license. Learner license means you can drive under the supervision of a license holder for at least nine months. There is no such rules in Pakistan. Also In Canada traffic flows smoothly and everyone cares about other drivers.

                The Canadian government is very helpful for the people. They provide free health care and many facilities for newcomers. When I landed in Canada after talking with the immigration officer I was directed to the new immigrants desk. They gave me full information of government facilities which are available to new immigrants and they sent me to enrol in Open Door Society. The open door society provided many programs to settle new immigrants in Canada as soon as possible. All the programs are totally free of cost. On the other hand in Pakistan the government doesn't provide as many facilities. In Pakistan most of the government employees take bribes to provide a genuine work. In Canada taking a bribe is a big crime.

                Canada is one of the best educational providers in the world. There are many best ranking university in Canada. Students can easily get educational loan to carry on their studies. The Canadian government also provides scholarships to brilliant students, this thing not only helpful for students it also have a good impact on the Canadian economy.  As we all know Canada is a developed country, So there is lots of job opportunities for university graduates. On the other hand in the top 400 universities of the world Pakistan is not mentioned. The government of Pakistan doesn't pay proper attention to this big issue. Education is the best way to compete with the world.

                No doubt  Canada is excellent in providing every kind of help to its people, this well developed country has many resources for residents and  newcomers as well. But hope never dies, Pakistan still has many chance to overcome all the issues mentioned above. People are very hard working and just waiting for a chance to prove themselves. Despite all of the problem I still miss my country.
