UK's new immigration system offers opportunities to study, work and live in the United Kingdom.

Matthew Rycroft, British Permanent Secretary said that the United Kingdom is delivering a new immigration system that offers clear opportunities to the “brightest and best” in Pakistan to study, work and live in the UK
Rycroft, the most senior official in the UK Home Office, is currently visiting Pakistan on a two-day tour to discuss shared priorities and future cooperation to affirm Pakistan-UK ties.
It is these people-to-people ties that make Pakistan a particularly important partner for the UK, according to the UK Home Office.
“During his visit, he (Rycroft) talked about the UK Home Office’s new immigration system that will level the global playing field to those wishing to come to the UK,” it said in a statement.
“Pakistani students will benefit from new graduate routes, providing an excellent opportunity for Pakistani students to enter into skilled roles in the UK job market.”
The permanent secretary took part in a range of engagements and meetings at the Pakistani Ministry of Interior and associated agencies to discuss challenges affecting operational cooperation and identify areas of mutual interest to expand collaboration.
