Since 2016, the MRCs operate to provide potential and outgoing migrants with information and counselling in various areas such as overseas employment, rights and protection of migrants, access to education systems in other countries, skills development, and vocational training programmes in Pakistan. More importantly, our team of counsellors provides you with awareness on the benefits of safe and

regular migration and the dangers and consequences of irregular migration. The MRCs are set up at Islamabad and Lahore respectively under the auspices of the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development (MOPHRD) and Labour and Human Resource Department (LHRD), Punjab. In essence, MRC strives to provide:
- Clear, accessible, and understandable information to potential migrants on possibilities for orderly migration, as well as rules and regulations, including relevant pre-departure information;
- Pre-departure orientation and information on work and living conditions abroad and their rights and obligations to outgoing migrants;
- Awareness raising of and providing clear information to potential migrants on the risks and dangers associated with irregular migration. MRCs do not only focus on the general public/ future migrants but also other institutionalized stakeholders (governmental and non-governmental), who are directly or indirectly involved in the facilitation or communication of migration related issues. Thus, MRCs conduct several information sessions at vocational and technical training institutes, universities, colleges, and schools as well as with the communities. Our counsellors continuously research and collect updated information on regular migrations pathways for Pakistanis. We can support you with the following information and activities:

1. Customized and country specific pre- departure trainings upon request;
2. Career counselling and information on scholarship opportunities;
3. Providing counselling and pshyco-social support, behavioral adaptability, and communication skills to the intending, outgoing, and returning migrants;
4. Awareness raising on safe and regular migration and travel abroad;
5. Supporting return and reintegration of migrants by linking them with relevant institutions;
7. Build the capacity of local organisations and partners on migration;
8. Develop and deliver trainings on financial literacy for migrants and their families. The MRCs are mainly funded by the European Union. Additional funding for awareness raising and capacity building actions is also received from German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Interior Austria and Bulgaria. All project activities are implemented by International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD).

UAE Social Media Laws - Privacy of People
متحدہ عرب امارات کے سائبر جرائم سے متعلق قانون UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2021 on Combatting Rumours and Cybercrimes میں شہریوں کی ذاتی معلومات اور پرائیویسی کے تحفظ کو بہت اہمیت دی گئی ہے۔ اس قانون کے تحت ڈیجیٹل نظاموں کے ذریعے کسی بھی فرد کی ذاتی یا خفیہ معلومات کو بغیر اجازت حاصل کرنا، استعمال کرنا یا پھیلانا سخت جرم تصور کیا جاتا ہے۔ اس کا بنیادی مقصد یہ ہے کہ ڈیجیٹل ماحول میں افراد کی نجی زندگی، مالی معلومات اور حساس ڈیٹا محفوظ رہے۔

دفعہ 6 کے مطابق کسی بھی شخص کے ذاتی الیکٹرانک ڈیٹا کو بغیر اجازت حاصل کرنا، محفوظ کرنا، تبدیل کرنا، مٹانا، کاپی کرنا یا پھیلانا جرم ہے۔ اس میں طبی ریکارڈز، تشخیص، علاج، بینک اکاؤنٹس اور آن لائن ادائیگیوں کی معلومات جیسے حساس ڈیٹا کو خاص تحفظ حاصل ہے۔ اس دفعہ کی خلاف ورزی پر کم از کم چھ ماہ قید اور 20 ہزار سے 1 لاکھ درہم تک جرمانہ ہو سکتا ہے۔ اگر کوئی شخص جان بوجھ کر ایسا غیر قانونی ڈیٹا وصول کرے یا استعمال کرے تو وہ بھی اسی قانونی ذمہ داری کے تحت آتا ہے۔

دفعہ 13 ذاتی ڈیٹا کے جمع کرنے اور اس کے استعمال سے متعلق ہے۔ اس کے مطابق کسی بھی شخص یا ادارے کو صرف قانونی اجازت کے بغیر شہریوں یا رہائشیوں کا ڈیٹا اکٹھا کرنے، محفوظ کرنے یا پروسیس کرنے کی اجازت نہیں۔ خلاف ورزی کی صورت میں 50 ہزار سے 5 لاکھ درہم تک جرمانہ اور قید کی سزا ہو سکتی ہے۔ اس دفعہ کا مقصد یہ یقینی بنانا ہے کہ ڈیٹا اکٹھا کرنے کے تمام عمل قانون اور ضابطوں کے مطابق ہوں۔

دفعہ 44 نجی زندگی کے تحفظ سے متعلق ہے۔ اس کے تحت کسی شخص کی اجازت کے بغیر اس کی ذاتی زندگی یا خاندانی معاملات میں مداخلت، خفیہ طور پر گفتگو ریکارڈ کرنا، یا آڈیو/ویڈیو مواد نشر کرنا جرم ہے۔ اسی طرح بغیر اجازت تصاویر لینا، انہیں محفوظ کرنا یا آن لائن پھیلانا بھی ممنوع ہے، چاہے وہ تصاویر سچ پر مبنی ہی کیوں نہ ہوں اگر ان سے کسی کی عزت یا پرائیویسی متاثر ہو۔ خاص طور پر حادثات، زخمی افراد یا فوت شدگان کی تصاویر بغیر اجازت پھیلانا بھی قابلِ سزا جرم ہے۔ ان خلاف ورزیوں پر کم از کم چھ ماہ قید اور 1.5 لاکھ سے 5 لاکھ درہم تک جرمانہ ہو سکتا ہے، جبکہ توہین یا بدنامی کی نیت سے ڈیجیٹل مواد میں تبدیلی کرنے پر سزا مزید سخت ہو جاتی ہے۔

دفعہ 45 پیشہ ورانہ معلومات کے تحفظ سے متعلق ہے۔ اس کے مطابق کسی ملازمت یا پیشہ ورانہ ذمہ داری کے دوران حاصل ہونے والی خفیہ معلومات کو بغیر اجازت ظاہر کرنا جرم ہے۔ اگر کوئی شخص اپنے کام کے دوران حاصل کی گئی خفیہ معلومات کو ٹیکنالوجی کے ذریعے افشا کرے تو اسے کم از کم چھ ماہ قید اور 2 لاکھ سے 10 لاکھ درہم تک جرمانہ ہو سکتا ہے۔ اگر یہ معلومات کسی کو فائدہ پہنچانے یا ذاتی مفاد کے لیے استعمال کی جائیں تو سزا مزید سخت ہو سکتی ہے۔

مجموعی طور پر یہ دفعات اس بات کو واضح کرتی ہیں کہ متحدہ عرب امارات میں ڈیجیٹل پرائیویسی اور ذاتی ڈیٹا کا تحفظ انتہائی سخت قانونی فریم ورک کے تحت آتا ہے۔ اس قانون کا مقصد یہ ہے کہ آن لائن ماحول میں لوگوں کی نجی معلومات محفوظ رہیں، ان کا غلط استعمال نہ ہو، اور ڈیجیٹل نظاموں پر اعتماد برقرار رہے۔

Germany demands for IT professionals

Germany demands for IT professionals

Germany – Demand for IT Professionals

Digital applications and intelligent technology define our day-to-day lives, making the IT industry one of the most innovative sectors globally. Germany is heavily influenced by the spirit of innovation, placing its markets for IT, telecommunications, and consumer electronics in leading positions within Europe. Consequently, IT specialists are in high demand in Germany. In 2025, around 109,000 job positions in the IT sector remained vacant. Experienced or qualified IT specialists can expect attractive jobs in small and medium-sized enterprises, the manufacturing industry, or large international companies.
Specialists in several fields are particularly in demand across Germany. Software development roles require you to design and implement software using the appropriate programming language. Your work as a software developer will be user-oriented, and you may programme complete applications or individual building blocks. Application support occupations involve maintaining and providing support for software and hardware such as SAP or SharePoint. Working in application support makes you a central point of contact for the products of a company. IT security experts take on the responsibility for the protection of company data. Continuous further training to stay up to date and working on novel solutions for software systems are part of your field of responsibility in IT security. Data science roles require you to analyse large quantities of data and deduce the appropriate solutions. As a data scientist, you will use various methods in information technology and mathematics to achieve this.

Citizens of Pakistan require a residence permit for this purpose. The Immigration Act provides for two titles which govern entry and residence in Germany, namely the settlement permit and the residence permit. A visa entitles the holder to enter or travel through another country, and third-country nationals require this kind of residence permit. Furthermore, there is a visa opportunity for IT specialists without a formal degree. If you have practical experience in the field of information and communication technology but lack formal qualifications, you can find more information in the Work visa for IT specialists on https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa-residence/types/it-professionals.

To start your IT career in Germany, you should follow three main steps. Firstly, you can check your career prospects and find out about the opportunities available for working and living in Germany by using the Quick-Check tool at https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa-residence/quick-check. Secondly, you should learn more about the German employment market and get useful job-hunting tips at https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/working-in-germany/job/looking-for-job. Finally, you can apply by finding a suitable position at https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/working-in-germany/job-listings?tx_solr%5Bfilter%5D%5B0%5D=topjobs%3A4.

You can access exclusive information for IT professionals on the Make IT in Germany page, which explains everything about the German IT industry and how to kick off your career step by step (https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/working-in-germany/professions-in-demand/career-it-specialists).

Germany – Demand for Engineers

Germany is globally renowned for its engineering expertise and the superior quality of its machines, plants, electrotechnical products, and cars. The continuous integration of digital technologies is generating diverse new perspectives and business models, particularly for engineering professionals. The country offers vast career prospects across numerous economic sectors where your qualifications are highly sought after.

In terms of facts and figures regarding available jobs, the research and development sector currently has a significant number of vacant positions, many of which are higher-level roles. There is also a strong demand for engineers in automation technology, the supervision of construction planning and architecture, and the automotive industry, which includes electromobility and autonomous driving. Furthermore, professionals are needed in the fields of renewable energies, environmental protection, and artificial intelligence. Engineers can find employment in varied areas such as technical production planning and management, quality assurance, construction, and machine and model construction, with many well-qualified individuals securing leadership positions.

Regarding eligibility criteria and visa requirements, the third country nationals like Pakistan, must obtain a residence permit for this purpose. You can explore options such as the work visa for qualified professionals and the EU Blue Card. As for other requirements, knowledge of the German language is not strictly mandatory to work as an engineer. Nevertheless, speaking German will significantly ease your entry into the labour market and your day-to-day life. To guide you through the next steps, you are encouraged to use the Quick-Check tool (https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa-residence/quick-check) to discover the opportunities available to you for working and living in Germany. When you are ready to apply, you can search for suitable positions through the Make it in Germany job listings (https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/working-in-germany/job-listings) and utilise their tips for a successful application. Additional resources include the Network IQ (https://netzwerk-iq.de/fileadmin/Redaktion/Downloads/IQ_Publikationen/Allgemeine_Publikationen/IQ_Themendossier_Ingenieur_innen_EN.pdf) manual for vocational recognition for engineers, web tutorials for qualified professionals, and German exercises tailored for the job seeking and application process.
