  • As part of the Quaid-E-Azam Awards, I was given the opportunity to have academic recognition within my community. Not only did this program help me stay in touch with my roots but it ensured that I am contributing to the growth of the Pakistani community overseas.

  • My father informed me about the Quaid-E-Azam awards when I had just finished high school. It was my first time applying for the award, and I’m glad I did. The arrangement of the awards event was outstanding. I heard from phenomenal speakers who inspired me to push myself to succeed beyond what I dreamed was capable. I also had the privilege of networking with amazing people, who I keep in touch with to this day. The best part of it all was that I saw myself reflected in the attendees. For the first time, I was surrounded by highly successful individuals from my home country. Having never seen such positive representation before, the experience instilled a sense of pride in my identity as a Pakistani-Canadian. I want to express my deepest appreciation to the awards committee, who organized the memorable event with passion, diligence, and attentiveness.

  • The Pakistan Academy of Quaid-e-Azam Awards Ontario has done a fantastic service to the nations of Pakistan and Canada by appreciating and rewarding Pakistani-Canadian high school students across the GTA with academic achievement awards and community service awards. As a three-time recipient of the academic achievement award, I have gained an immense source of motivation, confidence and encouragement, which has inspired me to continue to excel in my studies. Above all else, this organization has given me a priceless opportunity to acknowledge my hard work and honour my pride as a Pakistani-Canadian, and for that, I am deeply grateful. These awards show how dedicated our youth is, was, and will continue to be in reaching the highest levels of society.
