Thank you.
There are three sides to this question. I can explain. First of all, yes it is a financial problem, as well as the documents required by Pakistan. For example, to go to Pakistan, you need to get a Pakistani visa in Afghanistan.
First of all, you have to have an Afghan passport, which is required if you want to apply for a Pakistani visa. If you want to apply for a Pakistani visa, it's not a usual or a normal procedure anymore. You have to hire somebody, a third person, to buy you a Pakistani visa. One Pakistani visa can cost you from $300 to $900 per person, which is a lot of money.
The third problem is when we cross into Pakistan. We've been asking IRCC about 10 to 12 families already there in Islamabad. We provided a total list to the IRCC, whom we speak to weekly. Those family members are already in Pakistan. Their Pakistani visas are about to expire, and they have to return to Afghanistan.
IRCC's answer is, “No, you don't have to return to Afghanistan, but we will try to get you accommodation with IOM.” It's been almost two to three months, and they did not provide our families with a single accommodation. There are multiple problems in going to Pakistan.
