Dear
My observations are as follow
In accounting profession, taking formal education (taking classes) is a futile thing for bright students. Teachers of any accounting qualification teach only about basic things and they only guide. You pass exams & evolve into business professional by only studying good books, reputed financial press, and watching Business related programs/interviews on TV. Institute doesn't matter in Accounting profession. Accounting profession is not similar to MBA in which institute does matter. Good MBA institutes hire only PhDs for imparting education but in accounting education, you will find that majority of teachers are incompetent--- having their own concepts not clear; misleading--- demoralizng & discouraging students by telling them biased information about exams.
You can pursue your education while living in Faisalabad. You can prepare yourself by books(if you are a bright student) and can give exams of ACCA and CIMA without taking classes(it will save you a lot of money).
As far as ICMA is concerned, one thing I appreciate of this institute is that they haven't privatized the education. Therefore fees are low compare to others and within the reach of vast majority of Pakistan's graduates. It is inexpensive.
Whether you can take correspondence or have classes, pay a visit to
ICMAP Centre
Government College of Commerce
"D" Ground Peoples Colony No.1
Faisalabad.

Well, I will strongly recommend you to select one qualification instead of sailing in many ships.
ACCA & CIMA is a UK based qualification and ICMA is a Pakistan based qualification. Infact, ICMA is a parallel body of CIMA, as ICAP is a parallel body of ICAEW in Pakistan.
Feel free to share anything.
Regards
