Here are the key points from Osama's journey:

Graduated from University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (UVAS) Lahore in 2020 with 3.18 CGPA

Did not do any internships in Pakistan, focused on preparing for exams

Passed BCSE exam in Sept 2020, NAVLE in June 2021

Did a 2 month externship in Thailand after 3rd year of vet school

Total cost around 1.4 lakh PKR for the Thailand externship

Worked as a vet in Sharjah for 6 months and Dubai for 7 months after graduating based on NAVLE

NAVLE was critical in getting licensed vet jobs abroad right after graduation

Visa process to Canada took very long (8-10 months) so worked in Dubai in the meantime

Finally moved to Canada in Jan 2023 after getting visa in Nov 2022

Focused on exams rather than Masters, externships etc which may not help with licensing

Overall, passed BCSE and NAVLE within 1 year of graduating by focused preparation
