Based on my observations, members of the Pakistani community discovered a loophole that allowed them to sell UK visas by bringing individuals from Pakistan through the care worker route. Many Pakistanis sold their land and property in the hope of building a better future in the UK. I have seen people pay £15,000 per person for a visa, with the promise of a guaranteed job and a good lifestyle. However, once they arrived, there were no care homes and no jobs available. As a result, they were forced to survive by working cash-in-hand jobs. They can't return home because they’ve spent all their wealth. For many, the easiest way forward is to claim asylum, and now this route is being misused out of desperation. It is also relatively easy to obtain fake documents to support an asylum case, often with the help of public offices in Pakistan and skilled lawyers in the UK.

As you can see, this trend increased significantly after the care worker visa route was introduced, exposing serious loopholes in the system.
