Hello Mr. Khan,
First of all Congratulations.
Your Dilemma is a very common one. But the decision totally depends on your personal situations.
Firstly, to do a short landing, you should consider a few factors like financial, you will be spending a good sum just to get your PR card, if you don't have a problem with that, that's a Pro. Secondly, you need atleast 1-1.5 month's leave from your company, a temporary place to stay, which will be costly, if you have relatives there, problem solved. There are positive sides of short landing too, you can go there and gauge the job market without loosing your present job, you can get a feel of the country you are moving to. Do a little bit of networking there, start applying for jobs, if you get one which you feel is good, other things are just formalities. But if in two months if you see that the market is weak, which it is right now due to the oil prices, you can always grab your PR card and come back, wait for a suitable market scenario and then take the final decision to move.
But if you directly move there, then you will have to be ready for a few months of struggle. The only good thing is, you will complete your initial struggle and settle down sooner than the short landing. The risk is the uncertain market, if it goes southwards, the struggle will be longer. It all depends on your occupation, family situation, whether your wife has a job back home, and stuff like that. No one can give you a right answer. The only thing you can do is sit with your family and discuss the factors I highlighted, and others, then take a collective decision.
All the best, and do inform the forum what you have finalized... ;D
