My name is Ali, and I am a 15 year old Canadian male born and raised here in Toronto, Canada. I am of Pakistani descent and currently studying in grade 10.
I will explain my situation before asking any questions. My father and mother emigrated from Pakistan to Canada in 1994. In hopes of being successful here in order to support family back home. I was born a year later, and countless number of times, my father would always tell me to study hard in school when I was younger. He wants me to become a Doctor. Alhamdulliah, I like his suggestion, however I feel I am not supporting my heritage enough.
What is the point in emigrating from your motherland (Pakistan) and coming to Canada or the USA or UK?
You are basically "ditching" your homeland, and living among the "KAFFIR". living among western society, raised in western society, how will you possibly inherit Pakistani traditions and values being raised in a western society.
My plan is that once I turn (18), I want to go to Pakistan(I have never been there before) and hopefully join the military. I don't care about money or supporting family, there is no difference to me than being a Doctor or a member of the Pakistani Armed Forces. Both career choices appeal to me. Most importantly, I want to help my Pakistani brothers and sisters and I want to stay a part of the heritage. I want to help put an end to the extremists and terrorism. Pakistan was created in islam's name, I believe if I move the Pakistan, I will be more close to Allah and more close to Muhammad(pbuh). Living in Canada and in western society will not help me preserve my Pakistani Identity and preserve my religion.
At the moment, I don't know any urdu at all, so I think I will have some trouble when I arrive. I only know a few words. My plan is to forget school studies whilst I'm still in Canada and learn urdu and research more on Pakistani Defence and Armed Forces.
I just need a few questions answered, how can I join the military? My family roots are from the city Lahore and Islamabad, are there any academies taught in English where I can attend? How long does the process take to be a part of (Land operations)?
Also, when should I inform my mother and father of my decision? Do you think they would support me or be outraged? Nobody in my family history has ever been a part of the military however my grandfather was in fact a Chief of Islamabad Police Department at one point in his life.
Jazakallah Khair
