President’s Message
Dear Members and Friends of the Friends of Pakistan Canada Association (FOPCA), On behalf of our dedicated Board of Directors (2019–2026), it is my great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to you on the FOPCA website.
We invite you to explore this digital platform, which highlights our organization’s rich history and serves as a central hub for information on past and upcoming events, our collaborations with consular services, and valuable resources for our community.
At FOPCA, our core mission is to bridge communities, foster mutual understanding, discipline, unity, and faithful positive relations between Canadians of Pakistani heritage and the broader Canadian society. We actively promote participation in social, cultural, political, fundraising, and educational programs—not only within the Pakistani community but also across diverse communities from around the world. Our guiding motto is collaboration between diverse communities.
Founded and registered as a non-profit organization in 2019, FOPCA proudly represents Canadians of Pakistani origin living in Vancouver and its surrounding areas. Our roots trace back to the dedicated well-wishers of the Pakistani diaspora, with a commitment to strengthening Canadian-Pakistani ties.
Today, FOPCA stands as one of the most active and vibrant Pakistani-Canadian organizations in the region.
As we continue this shared journey, we warmly welcome your engagement, suggestions, and feedback. Your input is essential to our ongoing growth and improvement. Together, let us strengthen the bonds of understanding, discipline, unity, and faith within our vibrant and diverse community.
With heartfelt regards,
Abdul Rauf Khan
