AOA, I partly agree with Khan bahi. However, My suggestions are:
once you come to Pakistan. DO NOT SHOW OR TELL ANYONE that you have this much of amount or even that you are coming from Canada and willing to start a business in Pakistan. Use any CLOSE Relative as a Front Man ( Pay him monthly salary not commission or partnership) - He should get information on your behalf. Use a low profile vehicle while commuting. LOW PROFILE is the key word to save your life, kids and family inshallah.
Consider EVERYONE is a thief in Pakistan and with this mindset, you will be more careful. Although its not true. there are 1% Allah fearing people as well in Pakistan, but you dont have time to investigate that... right.
People coming from abroad are simple, honest and Environment Friendly. I am also living in KSA. however, once you go to Pakistan, you wish things are ideal but they are not. Once PTI will take control, I, you and all of us will flood to Pakistan, but we need VOTE and WAIT for that time. ...
any way my next suggestion for you is NOT to do any TRADING. Buy any plot/ Property where you can get a rent. once this rent covers your bottom line ( ur family home, education and all monthly expense). Join any good company where u can get to know the business and people around you or make a small office and start meeting people. advise people on immigration or business in canada or some thing similar. once you get polluted with the business scenario of Pakistan, do something of you own but do not compromise on QUALITY AND INTEGRITY. these are the USPs of expatriates and those who need a success in Pakistan as its RARE over there...
cheers...
