JAMIA CANADA VISIT

Open to All USA Jama'at boys between 12 - 18 (ideal age group) along with their fathers (encouraged) to attend the Jamia Ahmadiyya Canada visit.

Days Left before the Jamia Canada Visit

The National Waqf-e-Nau Department, USA, in collaboration with MKA USA, Jamia Ahmadiyya Canada, and Jama’at Ahmadiyya Canada has arranged a visit to Jamia Ahmadiyya Canada for boys between the ages of 12 and 18 years from May 19 – 21, 2023, In’Sh’Allah. The purpose of the visit is to help prospective candidates understand the environment, standards, and requirements of Jamia Ahmadiyya. This visit is open to all Ahmadi boys and their fathers who wish to attend. 

Addressing the Waqf-e-Nau boys in the UK; Hazoor (aba) said:

You should certainly pursue options that are of interest to you, however I would also urge as many of you as possible to consider applying to Jamia Ahmadiyya. The reason for this is we have a huge requirement for missionaries throughout the world.”

Hazur-e-Aqdas (aba) has instructed the USA Jama’at to prepare at least 10 Waqifeen-e-Nau to join Jamia Ahmadiyya Canada every year.
