Pakistan-Canada Association was founded in 1963 by the late Riasat Ali Khan and is the oldest and most recognized Pakistani organization in Canada. Pakistan-Canada Association is open to all people of Pakistani descent and prides itself on promoting Pakistani interests and culture while at the same time being a vibrant and positive member of Canadian society. We celebrate both religious and national holidays of Pakistan and Canada.
We were the first organization to establish a mosque in Western Canada (Vancouver Jamia Masjid) and the first organization to establish a Pakistani Community Center (Pakistan House in Surrey). We also run and operate a Masuallah in North Vancouver, British Columbia.
Our overriding mandate is to serve the Pakistani community of the Lower Mainland. In comparison to 1963 the Pakistani community has increased exponentially and now includes substantial representation from all corners of the country. Pakistan-Canada Association has been the ‘one’ organization facing the challenges of an expanding and dynamic community and we continue to evolve and change to address the needs of this growing population. We continue to serve our community with a group of selfless and tireless volunteers and continue to educate the mainstream community about Pakistan and Islam.
