I left with out having advance parole. What is the possibility I would be able to go and what would be needed. Or would I have to wait the three to ten years before I can apply for any paperwork? Does this include Visas?

There is no way your question can be meaningfully answered on this forum since we do not know what status if any you had, if you overstayed, what visa you intend to apply for etc. Therefore schedule a consultation for a reputable immigration attorney to go over your case in the detail it deserves.

which countries are accepting asylum seekers from Pakistan currently
answered on Mar 5, 2023
Every country has their own process. In the US you can apply if you can present a colorable honest claim under asylum requirements and are physically present here. There is no quota.

Would you rather they don’t have a safe place to go and get an education? They’re here and I’d you force desperate people out into the streets or will certainly cause more desperation and crime.

This is a question pertaining to Canadian requirements and therefore best posed to a Canadian immigration practitioner.
Coincidentally my daughters father and I have the same surname but we are not married. Our names are written on her birth certificate.

You should put the child's father's name on his or her birth certificate. Or, if the father is not known or does not want to be in the child's life, you can leave it blank. DNA tests can confirm paternity in case the government raises doubts.

Canadian immigration law questions are best brought up with a Canadian immigration attorney because Canadian law is different from U.S. law. That being said, putting the name of another relative who is not the father on your child's birth certificate is a bad idea. Many people before you have... View More
