Dear Admin,

This is non property question please allow it to be there for some time.

Actually I want suggestion from friends about immigration.

Which place is better Australia or canada.

I have both PRs now need to decide where to go

Kabooter replied on Sunday, May 22, 2016 10:36 PM PST 

It depends on your profession. Each country has its own pros and cons and you should choose a country on the basis of professional prospects. Alternatively ask Iqra which PR he/she wants, the choice problem will automatically be solved :).

Iqra replied on Sunday, May 22, 2016 11:02 PM PST 

will go with Aussie for sure

Darwaish® replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 12:50 AM PST 

I will tell you a short story of my own. I was travelling from Heathrow to Toronto. The purpose this time was to land as immigrant to Canada. Seat next to me was occupied by a middle aged British lady. We started talking. To cut story short, she asked me the purpose of my travel to Toronto and I told her I am going for landing as an immigrant to Canada. I asked her the same question you have posed since I had the option to immigrate to Australia. The lady told me there is a basic difference in people's attitudes between Canada and Australia. Original white Canadians are mostly of Irish descent while Australians are Brits. She said the Irish origin people are decent, more polite and accommodative as compared to Brits.She happened to be English as well. And she told me that I have made a right choice.I had the advantage of going to Canada since I was educated there and had lived as a student for many years and therefore knew the country.
But I must tell you that was the time when Imran Khan had married Jamiama. Now many years have passed. Australians are getting better in their attitudes and are more receptive now. Weather wise Australia is better. My suggestion would be to visit both the countries and check with the friends and relatives who are living there. Australia also feels closer to Pakistan.

Kam replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 01:56 AM PST 

East and the west. Pakistan is the best.
I àm living in KSA. I am trying hard to quite from here.and move to pakistan.

Irfan292 replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 02:09 AM PST 

If you have got both PRs, you must be an educated and qualified person probably well set in your profession.
For anyone who is well set locally, there is no place on earth like your homeland. This is not just an emotional statement, it is based on facts.

MIT® replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 02:21 AM PST 

Though I myself live in USA, but I agree first with Irfan292 & Kam and then with Darwaish as well.

Jameel Mughal® replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 02:24 AM PST 

Australia is better in climate there is prejudice and hate crimes, economy is slow immigration is not flexible like in Canada you go for it if you really think you will move there.
Canada Climate is very cold, Less prejudice and hate as so most people will be immigrants, Still Lot of room to grow, real estate is booming there even more than USA. Soon Canada will also lose flexibility of immigarion as they are making is more and more tough for people who are 1/2 hearted about immigration .
But again immigration is not my Subject

Ah replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 06:40 AM PST 

Winter is very harsh in Canada.we r not use to live in like this weather.people r friendly. Asian and south Asians r well settled here,u can imagine that Canadian defense minister is from Sikh community.its good to live in Pakistan but if after sacrifice of few years u can get a passport of civilized country than its worthy.u would b able to travel all around the world still u could face some hurdles when they will see your place of birth.keep in mind raising children here is a big risk.

Haider replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 11:06 AM PST 

Australia has better climate. Almost like Pakistan. But people there have somehow rude attitude. Canada has better people, better culture, better economy. But there is 4-5 months EXTREME winter period in canada. If I was you, I would choose canada.

Salman679 replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 12:23 PM PST 

There are 4 major factors to take into consideration for immigration.
1-Kids studies
2-Salary wages rate
3-Career growth
4- Weather

In studies,Australia is no.4 and Canada is no.5.list is USA,UK,Germany ,Australia, Canada

2-Australian avg salary per hour is $15,Canada is $10

3-All regional head quarters for Asia /pacific regions are in Australia or Singapore.While US is main hub fro head quarter in other part.

4-Best weather in Australia while Canada:)

Nabeel replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 12:42 PM PST 

It all depends on your circumstances, and your expectations.

If you are in a well-paying job currently, and expecting to be employed in a white-collar job in either of those countries..
DO Not...Repeat: DO NOT leave your job in the hopes of landing a white-collar job after you migrate. White-collar jobs are rare in those countries.

If you are young, and plan to run your own business when you land there, or OK with doing odd jobs once you reach there, its a good option.

Skyliner replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 01:40 PM PST 

Australia feels like home especially because of the weather and landscape.
While comparing the two is hard without a definite criteria, I'd say Canada is way too saturated now and probably difficult to penetrate for newbies whilst Australia has a lot of untapped potential and space for newbies.

I have never experienced racism alhamdulillah and nor did any of my friends.

If you want to judge a nation based on the behavior of a few bogans, then you can imagine what should be the image of Pakistan, where we burn down whole families in an instant based on racism, religion or difference of opinion. So don't undermine Australia with the myth of Racism.

Between the two, in these times, I'd go for Australia, good for business, work life balance and very energetic/sporty place to raise your kids.

Nadeem® replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 02:26 PM PST 

I was in similar situation couple of years ago and decided in favor of Australia mainly due to weather. It's true economic conditions are not great and as per my knowledge same situation is in Canada. Have many friends and family members in Canada. It's equally hard to find a good job for a new comer in both countries as someone rightly pointed out in comments above.
If there are no personal issues I still recommend Australia.

luqman replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 03:58 PM PST 

Which place of Canada has best weather and has least cold in winter.

SubCon replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 05:23 PM PST 

Completely depends on your profession but I would personally prefer Canada over Australia but that is because of personal bias perhaps. I consider Canada for attached and integrated with the rest of the world whereas Australia is somewhat disconnected due to its location. Also, I find Canadian Universities more well known across the world as opposed Australian. People in Canada are much more accomodating than Australia.

mrwise replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 05:47 PM PST 

just moving out and leaving ur white collar job here will not solve the problem , there is a lot of struggle in these countries doing odd job and may take u lot of time to settle and khawari as well , if u are qualified enough or u have money to open up ur own small business than it is ok , going there empty handed is not a good idea , remember there are no white collar jobs for u very very rare.so to cut short forget about the weather and attitudes but focus on ur action plan what to do there and how to settle well . take enough funds think about ur childern education plan and see if u can begin ur own small business .getting a passport only after so much waiting and suffering should not be the only aim ,it is to settle down successfully so go ahead and take ur shot australia or canada

oz replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 08:39 PM PST 

I have been living in Australia from last 15 years. Mild winter & summer.If you want to enjoy 24/7 then Australia is best. Regarding jobs, if you are in IT or finance then Australia is not bad. For science graduates it is not a great place. One of the most expensive country in the world though. Sydney is very multicultural, with halal food easy to find. I do not know much about Canada though.

AB replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 09:29 PM PST 

My dear brothers. The aim of this wordly life according to the Holy Quran is to worship Allah. No body has suggested to Mr PPAKI that in which country you will be able to accomplish your religious obligations in a better way. This life is temporary so think and prepare the life to come. May Allah guide us to the right path.

Mrs Khan replied on Monday, May 23, 2016 11:03 PM PST 

I always vote for canada because of its cultural diversity. It is a good place to live and raise kids but not better than Pakistan. I think you are educated person, you need to choose one according to the availably of jobs there.
I was in the same boat 10 years ago when I have to decide between US and Canada. That was very hard for me and I did "ISTIKHARA" . So seek ALLAH's guidance. HE will take you at the right path and help you on very step there.

DHA Multan development Update

Pictures by Jawad Ahmad + of Lahore Real Estate May 15 2016

ballot 2016 replied on Tuesday, May 17, 2016 11:11 AM PST 

At ballot Dha multan file will be touching 48-50 lac minimum

Baba G - Khushboo laga ky replied on Tuesday, May 17, 2016 01:19 PM PST 

@ ballo 2016:

Do you mean ballot will be delayed ? Khashboo laga ky...

Khawaja replied on Tuesday, May 17, 2016 01:31 PM PST 

It's just a joke and nothing that main entrance of DHA Multan is under construction from a year period and still not completed yet.

DHA needs to hand over its development projects to Bahria if DHA desires to hand over on ground plots to its clients on its time of commitment.

DHA Multan is a very long term project. No comparison with Wapda Multan where people love to live.

Khawaja replied on Tuesday, May 17, 2016 01:37 PM PST 

Another true thing is that DHA investment is actually for Army point of view where they select good locations plots for Army applications and normal locations plots are fate of overseas and civilians. It is common activity in DHA ballots.

luqman replied on Tuesday, May 17, 2016 05:24 PM PST 

Wapda Town is a Small society launched in 1993.Houses are good but no good commercial area,play grounds and other amenities .But when Dha ll develop,there ll b no comparison at that time between these two.Dha ll b far far ahead.

AMIN replied on Tuesday, May 17, 2016 07:16 PM PST 

DHA multan office mobile no - zero three three three six nine five three nine three six............GOOD LUCK

haadi replied on Wednesday, May 18, 2016 12:32 AM PST 

Rvery good project but atleast it will take 12 to 15 years for full swing.price expected in 5 years for one kanal is approxmatley 1 crore for average plot

What is effect of Ramzan and Eid on property prices in Pakistan ?? :h

Surfer replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 04:26 AM PST 

@ AR No effect. Instead in my opinion near Eid holidays. Prime locations of PRISM will be sky rocketing because many of PRISM prisioners like Ahmet bhai may be arrived on Eid Holiday's. And again buyers like us just see the train passes by.

HassanHC® replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 04:35 AM PST 

Surfer on serious note do you have any plots in prism and in which block.

Surfer replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 05:02 AM PST 

Do you have any plot in PRISM? & Which block you like most in 1 kanal? Do you have any suggestion regarding buying plot in PRISM?

Surfer replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 05:05 AM PST 

Placing same question for Ahmet bhai but excluding 1st portion of my question?

NT replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 06:48 AM PST 

Foreign money from expat coming back home for Eid, generally considered positive for property.

Jibran replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 01:36 PM PST 

Lets hope, our expats return on Eid along with foreign money and hand it over to us straight in Prism, without going left and right.

HassanHC® replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 01:46 PM PST 

Surfer then don't delay buy any good decent plot with no obvious negatives.

I am confused if blocks ACDQ are best or HFG are best. But in between these 2 blocks or any central blocks you buy buy plot should be good or average. You will do good inshallah

prism replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 01:46 PM PST 

@Jibran bro expats are far more aware about property market happenings than us. You do not need to be worried

AhmetKildir® replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 02:48 PM PST 

At this stage it is very difficult to conclude which block is the best as the story will keep changing along the years. Blocks with mega projects like Theme Park or Golf Course or DHA Apartments currently seem to be the best but this might change with time.

G seems to be the most CLEAN block to me.

Surfer replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 03:04 PM PST 

@ Hassan thankyou for your valuable suggesstions. I am in search of plot specially in A block. 3 days back dealers offered me plot in 400 line @ 110+paid development chargesm approx @ 113/=. I place an offer for 105+paid development charges approx 107/=. With token money. Yesterday he called me to take my token back because that plot was sold on 108+paid development charges. I made a token 2 to 3 times like that but every times its revert back due to seller not willing to sell or seller is now selling @ high price. I am also connected with LRE in this concern & 2 more dealers as well
In sha ALLAH soon i will be able to manage it through. But some dealers put me on a little bit wait. But i know nothing will happen in this time. As soon LRR may be started. & 150'ft road is in progress after completion of boundry wall which is almost done according to Ahmet sb. It may be quiet impossible for me to manage it.
In sha ALLAH i hope & Pray i will try to grab next possible option as soon as possible.

Surfer replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 03:36 PM PST 

@ Ahmet bhai as per your recommendations theme park is situated in in Q block while golf course is situated in D block. While dha apparments are situated in R block while your recommendation is G block. I think as per my opinion A block is best because every mega project is situaited near it without any village & away from drain. So in future A block may be Rock Star in Future.

HassanHC® replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 03:52 PM PST 

You are on right track get A it's good or D or Q all ok. Don't want to confuse you with GHF now. I am actually visiting Lahore and am here till may

Surfer replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 04:27 PM PST 

Thats good hassan bhai than we should have Chat soon In sha ALLAH.

AhmetKildir® replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 04:48 PM PST 

Surfer..My recommendation is not G block. I just said it looks like a clean block. If I had budget constraints, I would bet on G or R. If I didnt have any budget constraints, I would go for a clean plot in A,Q or D. I witnessed the exact same issues as you Surfer. So hard to close a deal on a good plot in Prism. It's annoying. The time I spent on closing one good deal in 10 marla R block was the same as closing two 1 kanal plots on Q and P last year during Eid ul Fitr period.

Wish you the best of luck in closing the deal.

JK replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 05:56 PM PST 

Ahmet sahib i heard that in Q block after Theme Park another mega project of 4 star hotel is going to be built. Can u identify the location, if this news is true then Q looks the finest block of Prism.

My one dealer told me now owner are asking 130 lacs at 120 ft road near theme park

Surfer replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 06:15 PM PST 

Thanx Ahmet & Hassan for your valuable & faithfull advice. I Certainely looking foward to hear from your side valuable comments on PRISM Always. As you gave me courage to take a necessary action as early as possible.

Surfer naraz na hoi yara....
Yaa tu ap bhaut sachay hoo ya ap already invest ker chukay ho Prism mein ;)

Surfer replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 06:48 PM PST 

@ Between the lines no problem but I think you have not gone through my previous post's. If you will than May be your can think positive. If not than you are right to make this statement :)

AhmetKildir® replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 06:51 PM PST 

@Between the lines,

What's wrong even if Surfer has invested in Prism already? I have a few investments in Prism and I will promote it because I believe its the best investment at the moment. If I was thinking otherwise, I will simply liquidate my investments and buy better investments. It will be quite stupid of me to hold an investment which I consider is bad and instead focus on promoting it on the internet hoping its price will appreciate. Cant believe people would actually do such a thing.

There are people who keep promoting some other investments. As long as their IDs are real, I never doubt their intentions regardless of how much i agree or disgree with them.

Luqman replied on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 07:51 PM PST 

First 15 days of Ramadan prices ll decrease and then it ll start rising and ll on the top just after Eid.

Jameel Mughal® replied on Thursday, April 14, 2016 02:26 AM PST 

At this time DHA phase 9 Prism prices are static and reversed few Lacs for average location, As there are 10s of thousand plots with average and below average location hence it is not advisable to compare the price with prime locations which are few with many lovers.
If we remember closing price of DHA phase 9 File 63 Lacs about year Back, you can hunt a good plot in only 10% premium after one year.
The Closing price of 5 Merla was 27,28 Lac and I got a prime Location plot in J Block 2 Lac less than that in January.

between the lines replied on Thursday, April 14, 2016 07:07 PM PST 

@ahmet... Tu tou naraz hee ho gia....
So you dont trust me and surfer too??? As his id is not real too..

dha 9 best buy

dear investers please do not listen to people trying to confuse you with their baseless assumptions against phase 9. you all are very well aware of the prices of one kanal plot in various phases(4,5,6,7,8) in dha lahore. u hardly find a plot less than 100 lac,,good location plots are more than 15 million in dha. phase 9 one kanal file is not at all a bad deal. because in coming few months or even years plots in phase 9 will not be available less than one crore. location wise phase 9 is far much better. only factor is time, hold your files IN SHA ALLAH phase 9 will remain unbeaten, most of all phase 9 is not a scam nor a buble to be brusted because the credibility of DHA could not be challenged. dha is the most secure housing project, grab a file today otherwise it will be too late

luqman replied on Sunday, August 25, 2013 11:33 PM PST 

BTW can anyone tell me how the prices moves in dha files
