No, its not true that CIMA doesn't have a market in Pakistan.If you read the news paper keenly, you will find jobs requiring CIMA qualifieds as well. Although, it requires an experiance of a few years but once you gain the experiance you will find no other job, offering more prospective career than CIMA.
The combination of MBA and CIMA would certainly be a rewarding career, its my personal opinion any way....
And let me tell you that CIMA is not as much difficult as you may think it to be, but certainly it requires a dedication and commitment.
If you still have any other query, you can ask as many times as you want to and we would be more than delighted to help you and inform you about CIMA (As we are INVESTOR IN PEOPLE)
Hope that helps....

One thing that I would like to add is that analyze your mind. If you are interested in auditing then go for ACCA while if you have inclinations towards management and entrepreneurship then opt for CIMA.
Good Luck for your endeavors…
