Faisalabad, Pakistan

Mersey Tunnels Liverpool: They lived in camps until they were sent by train to what was now Faisalabad, Pakistan, according to Globe and Mail. The family plunged into poverty. My journey to Canada started in 1947, when Pakistan was carved out of India; that act instantly turned my grandparents into refugees in their own country. My father, the eldest son, was 15. A few years after I was born, my father wanted to bring his brothers and sister to join us in Liverpool. He saved his family the only way he knew how: He did well in school, became an engineer and got a job working on the Mersey Tunnels in Liverpool, where he and my mother moved at a time when immigration to Britain was almost instantaneous.
