Who doesn’t love Oreos? The epic tagline of twist, lick, dunk was a childhood anthem for almost every other kid.

Dunked in a nice cold glass of milk, or even on their own, Oreos are DELICIOUS.

However, many Muslim hearts shattered when the brand itself stated that Oreos by Mondelez International are not Halal.

Since then many individuals from the Muslim community took it to Twitter to talk about their heartbreak!

MBA Programs in Canada: Pakistani Students Reportedly Face Visa Rejection!

MBA Programs in Canada

Canada has always been one of the top choices for students who consider going abroad to join programs or get international degrees.

The Graduate Management Admissions Council says Canadian business schools reported a 7.7% rise in applications last year, majority of it coming from international students.

Universities Canada shared that admissions witnessed full-time foreign student enrollment rise by about 15% between 2017-18, with 572,415 study permits issued last year, up from just 122,665 in 2000.

Canada to Offer New Opportunities for Foreign Skilled Workers

Pakistani students apply in masses to get into MBA programs in Canada. Unfortunately, those students, despite getting admission in their desired program, are denied visas.

Fazley Siddiq, the University of New Brunswick professor, who has also served as dean of the business department shared that students from countries like Nigeria and Pakistan are often rejected despite getting admission. He further on shares that while the situation is improving for Nigerian individuals, things are not so well for Pakistanis.

Pakistan’s High Commission in Ottawa has urged federal government officials to address the “very high” visa rejection rate for students belonging to Asia.

Canadian universities are popular among Pakistani students, but due to visa difficulties increasing numbers of students is turning towards other countries

Consequently, Canadian universities are losing both high-quality students and revenue. -Nadeem Kiani said in an email

Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen has shared that the visa approvals for Pakistanis have gone up under the Liberal government. He further added that the government will announce an expansion to a program called student direct stream, it will include Pakistani students. The program already covers countries like China, India, Vietnam and Phillipenes to speed the process.

You can’t compare one country to another. Each country has its own country conditions, economic circumstances, people have different travel history. -Hussen added

A representative added that the decision for visa approval is strictly done on merit basis and Canadian law.

Canada to Become Home to Another 1 Million Immigrants by 2022

You can’t compare one country to another. Each country has its own country conditions, economic circumstances, people have different travel history.

Denise Amyot, the head of Colleges and Institutes Canada added that one of the problems students face in visa approval is the financial means to pay for their stays. She added that more collaborations between visa offices and post-secondary institutions are also important for an applicant coming from an emerging country.

 (The visa officers) don’t have a lot of time when they examine an application, so as soon as there’s a doubt they could reject it. That’s we need to ensure as much as possible that all the info is there and it’s clear, and that there’s integrity to whatever information is there. -Amyot shared

Tips for Canadian Student Visa Applicants

If you are looking for tips to help you improve your chances for a Canadian student visa, we have some great pointers for you:

1. Apply to Universities and Get Acceptance Letters

Having an acceptance letter is like winning a point for Team Visa. However, if you are unsure about which university you want to apply to, you better lock a few down before you apply for a visa. Acceptance letters are a requirement for student visas.

2. Deliver Proof of Financial Stability

It is important for students to be able to provide proof of financial stability. This helps assure that the student can live in Canada and pay for the stay as well as their tuition fees to the respected university.

3. Have a Clean Record

Students with a clean record are preferred over students who have a record of previous crimes. This portrays a negative influence on the person and cuts back on the chances of getting a Canadian visa.

4. Clinical Records and Complete Medical Examinations

Each country has a different set of rules for visa approval. Some countries require complete medical examinations while others require a few clinical records. This is to ensure the student is not carrying a virus which might be a potential threat to another individual.

5.  Certificat d’acceptation du Québec

If a student is particularly going to a university in the Province of Quebec, then they will be required to have a Certificat d’acceptation du Québec, English and French translations for documents, English and French translations for your document.

6. Make sure all Language Requirements

Canadian universities require candidates to submit proof of English language proficiency. The following tests are accepted:

  • IELTS
  • Cambridge English: Advanced
  • TOEFL

Although proof of language skills is not included on the list for a Canadian student visa, it is always a good idea to have proof of English skills in case.

All the best for your visa!

Infinix Plans to Introduce the SMART 3 PLUS: Budget Smartphone with Triple Cameras, Great Looks & Water-Drop Notch!

In a recent couple of years, technology has changed the shape of the entire world drastically.

A smartphone is an everyday modern technology that we use excessively in our routine. We have seen a substantial amount of enhancements in contemporary smartphones we have today. Smartphones with exceptional specifications and top-tiered performance at affordable prices are infrequently available.

What if a smartphone that offers the best value for your money is right around the corner and is about to be revealed in Pakistan soon? Wouldn’t that be delightful?

Infinix Smart 3 Plus

According to our sources, Infinix has put enormous effort into crafting a phone that offers excellent value for money, and that they are all set to launch a new smartphone that targets the audience hunting for “value.” We presume it is going to be a 4G smartphone and will be called the “Infinix Smart 3 Plus”.

The Smart 3 Plus will be the newest addition to the “SMART” series by Infinix. Rumors suggest that this upcoming smartphone will be offering top-notch hardware, a splendid triple-camera setup at the back and a gorgeous display incorporating a water-drop notch, all that, at a good bargain.

This upcoming Infinix smartphone is going to offer modern trending design, elegant and most exquisite in its class, including a 6.2″ phenomenal HD+ Water-Drop, bezel-less display with 19:9 proportion with a resolution of 720×1520 and 500 nit brightness, enabling you to experience images and movies on a full screen and enjoy the moving emotions brought by the high resolution and full-color range.

Although the price of the smartphone isn’t clear as of now, neither do we know about the complete specifications, but we think that Infinix’s approach towards adding a display panel with only a water-drop notch at the top for the selfie camera is commendable.

The bezels are going to be thin, and the screen-to-body ratio would be high, thanks to the modern design elements implemented into the making of this smartphone.

infinix smart 3

As far as we know, the most striking feature of the Infinix Smart 3 Plus is the new AI (Artificial Intelligence) triple camera setup. It’ll have a Primary lens along with a depth sensor to capture stunning portraits with the blur effect that you desire. With the third lens, Infinix has planned something different; it’ll be an AI-based lens to detect and enhance photos taken in low light.

We know that with this AI based triple camera setup, the photo shooting capability would set new standards within the budget price segment. Image quality will be enhanced enormously with the addition of the 3rd camera lens dedicated for night shooting along the primary and secondary.

If what we found about the cameras at the back of the phone be true, the Infinix Smart 3 Plus is going to perform great in daylight as well as dark lighting environments and that Artificial Intelligence would automatically improve the sensitivity of the camera.

This exceptionally built smartphone with plenty of packed features is rumored to be launched at PKR 17,000 to PKR 19,000 in Pakistan, which beats all the competition at this price point.

We would be updating you as soon as we dig out further news regarding other specifications about the upcoming Infinix Smart 3 Plus. Stay Tuned!

Google Takes a Dig at Apple with its Latest Billboard!

iphone x vs pixel 3a

Google and Apple have been strong rivals for some time now. Recently, Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote an opinion related piece in which he took a subtle dig at Apple.

Once again, Google has taken yet another hit at Apple in the form of an ad. A new billboard which was promoting the iPhone X was overruled by a next-to-similar ad for Pixel 3a.

Both ads have the same background and location, however, iPhone X has been priced at $999 and has a darker background while the Pixel 3a is priced at $399 with a brighter and more detailed background.

Google Pixel 3 ‘Night Sight’ AD Campaign Takes a Dig at iPhone Users!

The brand has always been bashing Apple for two reasons, which they have cleverly shown in their ad, the price, and the camera.

From a distance, it seems as if the potshot is at iPhone X but 9to5Google reports clarified that the fine print clearly states that the image was clicked is by the 2018 iPhone, the iPhone XS.

Previously, in February, Google took digs at Apple using its ads comparing Pixel’s Night Sight mode with iPhone X’s low light photography feature.

As of now, Google has the edge and is taking every opportunity to prove it!

Google is Paying iPhone Users to Switch to Pixel 3a!

Earlier, Google had bribed iPhone users to switch to Google Pixel 3a for a sum of up to $600 to promote their new devices, Google is accepting a device trade-in from Samsung, LG, Huawei, and Motorola.

If users purchase the set before 18th May, the brand will throw in a $100 gift card for Google PlayStore.

Google will give you up to $470 for an iPhone X and even as much as $610 for an iPhone XS Max trade-in, which covers the price of a Pixel 3a XL easily!

The New Surf Excel Ad Will Change Your Outlook Towards Life – Here’s How

Eesar Ek Ibadat

Ramadan arrives in Pakistan with an entirely new atmosphere. We see a mix of different kind of emotions as calm and excitement sweeps throughout the country.

However, amidst the fasts, Sehri, and Iftaar preparations and Eid excitement, we may sometimes overlook the most important thing: the concept of Eesar (altruism, brotherly kindness) in Ramadan.

That’s what the new Surf Excel Ramzan 2019 ad reminds us of, in the most beautiful way possible.

 Eesar: Changing Your Outlook Towards Life

In a nutshell, Eesar translates as Mujhse Pehlay Tu (you before me) and the concept of altruism.

The latest ad by the brand highlights the practice of ‘Eesar’, a significant aspect of prayer, Ramadan, and a Muslim’s life in general.

Take a look at the complete ad here: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5kwtC5JS_8

It begins with a mother making a prayer for the first roza of her young son Salim to be accepted. She also prays for her child’s safety and peace and leaves the room for Iftaar preparations.

We then witness Salim running out of the house, with his hands clasped together, stuck to his chest. It seems like he’s carrying something invisible; little do we know, it is the most effective and valuable thing there can be.

Without a care in the world, he makes his way through all kinds of mud and grime, which results in his clothes getting dirty. Finally, he reaches his little friend’s place.

That’s when it is revealed that his handicapped friend, Aadil, cannot walk and is just about to leave for treatment with his parents.

Salim extends his little hands to Aadil, and places them on his face in a gesture of transferring his dua to his friend. “Meri salamati ki dua, tum rakh lo, aameen,” he says with sheer sincerity and innocence on his face.

Aadil and his parents tear up, and the looks on their faces are priceless. Using a very simple yet well-thought concept, Surf Excel’s latest commercial teaches us the importance of choosing for others what we choose for ourselves.

It also instills the motivation to pray for each other, as a prayer is truly the sincerest thing one can offer. Indeed, Eesar is the essence of prayer, and faith is incomplete without it.

Children Learn What You Teach Them!

Another extremely important thing to note in the ad is related to parenting: Salim learns to do exactly what his mother does for him.

Needless to say, little children are highly impressionable. They are also excellent observers and tend to mirror their parent’s behavior.

The ad is a lesson for children and an eye-opener for parents. It shows how parents need to focus on their words and actions, and only then can they expect their children to be well-behaved, good human beings.

Proving Daagh Toh Achay Hotay Hain

Like previous years, Surf Excel has successfully taken social media by storm with its latest ad for Ramzan 2019.

The reputable brand is popular for constantly coming up with ad concepts that are fresh, significant, and highly inspiring.

Not only does the ad teach you to keep others before yourself, but it also teaches you that there is no harm in getting your clothes dirty in the pursuit of kindness.

It seems that Surf Excel is imparting some important life lessons. We are made up of both body and soul – kindness to others is a way to cleanse our souls and be truly spiritual. The message imparted through the ad touches our hearts and inspires!

All-New Suzuki Swift 4th Gen to Launch in Pakistan?

suzuki swift 4th gen

Pak Suzuki has made headlines since the introduction of the new Suzuki Alto 660cc variant. There is tough competition in the market nowadays with the coming of foreign brands, thus the introduction of new cars is evident.

Bidding farewell to its Mehran and moving on with the new Alto, Suzuki is not the only brand to have introduced new cars. Honda Atlas followed the same pattern by launching the Civic Turbo. There is also a high probability that Toyota IMC may introduce the new Yaris instead of the Vios.

There are also indications that Suzuki might introduce the all-new Suzuki Swift 4th gen car as another competitor. A Swift was spotted on the roads by a car enthusiast presumably doing a test-run on the roads.

The vehicle is registered to Pak Suzuki and is equipped with a 1242cc engine. However, at this point, it is still unclear whether the brand will be launching the Swift, and if so, there is no potential deadline given.

Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5: Fans Find Another Major Blunder!

Game of Thrones season 8 left fans with a major shock after a Starbuck’s drink was spotted. No doubt it was one of the biggest blunders everyone came across.

This time around, fans have pointed out to yet another mistake made in Game of Thrones season 8 episode 5, and you will not believe what it is.

Before we show you, let’s do a recap of Gregor Clegane aka ‘The Mountain’. We came across this freakishly heavy-built man in season 1 when Tywin Lannister sends him to raid the Riverlands. Beric Dondarrion is sent to arrest Gregor.

the mountain

Fast forwarding to season 4, Ser Gregor is chosen as Cersei’s champion for Tyrion’s trial by combat and fights Oberyn Martell, Tyrion’s champion who wants to kill Gregor as revenge for the murder of his sister, Elia Martell.

the mountain

Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5 Leaked: We Might Know Who Dies Next!

Oberyn inflicts several serious injuries on Clegane with his poisoned spear, but Gregor eventually kills Oberyn by crushing his skull, while admitting that he did rape Elia, killed her children and enjoyed it, before collapsing from his own injuries.

It is later revealed that The Mountain has been poisoned with manticore venom, a poison that Oberyn had laced his weapon with, and that he is slowly dying. Cersei enlists ex-maester Qyburn to save him, though Qyburn claims that the procedure will “change” Clegane.

What we know is that the procedure remains successful, however, transforms Ser Gregor’s physical form as well as his behavior by massive extents. He is then seen in season 6 as Cersei’s personal bodyguard.

the mountain

In season 7 he remains in her Queensguard and in season 8 is present when Daenerys Targaryen arrives at King’s Landing with all her forces, demanding the release of her advisor Missandei and Cersei’s surrender.

Ser Gregor decapitates Missandei and is then left to face his brother in a dual, in which he takes his final breath. However, there was something that the eager Game of Thrones fans picked up leaving everyone in a state of confusion.

Apparently, ‘The Mountain’ took off his helmet only to look like a zombie version of… Varys!

Now, the question is was this deliberately done or was it, in fact, another HUGE blunder for the GoT series?

National Foods Limited, one of the leading food companies headquartered in Karachi, has launched an internal mentorship program – Humqadam.

It was introduced exclusively for the female employees of the company.

This program will provide their female employees a platform to highlight their concerns and suggestions in front of the company’s female board of directors who will ultimately use that constructive grass-root level feedback in policymaking.

The CEO at National Foods Limited – Abrar Hasan further elaborating the importance of this program said:

With the launch of this commendable program, our female employees will have a platform to connect and cite their concerns with the female members of our Board of Directors; Ms. Saadia Naveed and Ms. Noreen Hasan.

The mentors will practically assist the female employees at National Foods Limited in breaking the glass ceiling, articulating their career ambitions and building a strong network.

According to recent news, Javed Ali Mahar, Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP) Traffic Karachi has instructed officials to ban the entrance of auto-rickshaws and taxis on Tariq Road, P.E.C.H.S after 15th Ramzan.

He carried out the order on Thursday, May 9th, 2019, owing to the increased traffic flow for Eid shopping.

He also met with representatives of Tariq Road traders’ association to discuss how the flow of traffic on the road can be improved during Ramadan 2019.

The issue of parking was also discussed, so that masses visiting Tariq Road for shopping may not face traffic jams the way they usually do at this time of the year.

The Reason Behind Karachi’s Poor Traffic Plan

The traffic situation of any area depends greatly on the rules and supervision overseen by the administration.

Karachi’s culture of traffic mainly consists of chaos and congestion, mainly owing to factors like:

  • Drivers breaking traffic signals and laws
  • Increase in the use of cell phones while driving
  • Mismanagement and negligence by Traffic Police
  • The condition of roads and subsequent blocking of roads due to construction

While the majority reportedly uses private vehicles for commuting, para-transit (Rickshaw, Taxis) is also a relatively common mode of transport in Karachi.

It is para-transit that is mostly highlighted as one of the major hindrances on places like Tariq Road.

Good News or Bad?

It is good news for those who have the privilege of owning private cars, as they will not have to face traffic jams and better parking spots will be available.

However, it is going to make Eid shopping difficult or those who depend mainly on rickshaws and taxis for transport.

Sham Idrees & Wife Froggy Mob Attack: Here’s What YouTubers Are Saying!

Later, Rahim Pardesi called out Froggy for lying about getting hit in the face.

And now a local YouTuber has released a video claiming that Sham gave him money to stir an attack and fake punch Froggy during the meetup.

A New Twist in the Tale

The YouTube channel of M Asim Maqsood has as many as 62 videos uploaded with the highest number of views recorded as 3,839,981. The YouTuber has kept his subscriber count private and mostly uploads prank videos.

Asim claimed that he was a big fan of Sham and used to often chat with him while Idrees was in Canada.

He stated that when the entire Sham Idrees Vs Ducky Bhai controversy began, he received a message from Sham saying he will collaborate with him and give him a shout out if he does an assignment for him.

According to Asim, Sham told him to come at Karachi’s meet and greet, pretend to misbehave with Froggy and fake punch her. After much consideration, Asim turned the offer down.

It is to be noted that the YouTuber provided NO PROOF to his claims.

However, he asked for help from fellow YouTubers on how he can upload call records and message in his next video and make them public.

The confession by M Asim Maqsood seems pretty shady without any proof.

However, if any of his claims are real, then this might probably be the end of Sham’s career.
