Zirakpur is the planned city which is close to Mohali district of Punjab, Panchkula district of Haryana and the Union Territory Chandigarh. It is quite close to the Chandigarh Airport and is built on the junction of national highways namely; Himalayan Expressway, Ambala Chandigarh Expressway, National Highway 5 and 7 which makes it a prominent place. Zirakpur is a rapidly developing city of Punjab having best residential and commercial areas. In past it was a village but as Chandigarh’s population increased, there was a need of space for people to live, thus the Zirakpur village started developing as the future city and currently it is the hot favorite for people in the neighboring places to buy houses and flats. It is beautifully connected to Chandigarh, Panchkula, Mohali and Ambala, that is why it is convenient living here. There are supermarkets and showrooms of the popular national and international brands including a Decathlon store which makes Zirakpur the preferred shopping destination for people. It is still at the progressive stage and soon will be a completely developed city.

Although, Zirakpur has all that one needs to live a comfortable life, it lacks in some important aspects, like education and employment. The students go to the schools and colleges in the nearby places to study at good schools and then they study in the universities and colleges situated in the nearby places as well. Travelling for long distance on daily basis is a big trouble and that is why the youth looks for the better options abroad rather than struggling in their home town. The number of such aspirants has surged greatly in the past few years due to the availability of better options in countries like Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand and many others. This has led to opening up of visa consultants in Zirakpur so that abroad aspirants could get all the support they require in the process of going abroad for education. The leading visa consultant in Zirakpur, Abroad Gateway has sent many students to different countries as per their interest and desire transforming their lives, especially to USA and Canada because the people here feel more connected to these places owing to the presence of the popular brands of these countries in their city.
