Abstract: Pakistan Diaspora in Canada shares Muslim Identity, South Asian outlook and Punjabi dialect; obviously, it turns out to be an effective section of Canadian Community with a prominent position among the political, economic and social circle. However certain cultural marks associated Pakistani community are inhibitive in the long run assimilative process that create an inertness at the inter communal and intra communal level; that inadvertently generate a regressive impact on the progress of Pakistan diaspora. However, the Economic vibrancy on the part of Pakistani community is very crucial in terms of its impact on Pakistan economic condition and the upward mobilization of Pakistani society. There still required a balanced approach for the sake of accruing maximum benefits out of Pakistan expatriate community.
