Imran,

I can only tell you about the US system. You will have to finish medical studies in Pakistan. Then you will have to take USMLEs (all 3 of them) and that takes time...about a year to finish all 3. Then you apply for residency here...which can be anywhere from 3-6 years or more depending on your specialty.
