Post-study

Canada is a leading choice for Bangladeshi students because the Post-Graduation Work Permit can last up to three years and feeds Express Entry and provincial nominee programmes. Both colleges and universities qualify.

Tuition of CAD 15,000–CAD 35,000 a year, plus proof of funds and first-year tuition, makes budgeting important, and biometrics form part of the IRCC study permit.

Document steps and the IRCC study permit from Bangladesh

Apply through OUAC or directly, with your board and university documents attested through the relevant education board and the Ministry of Education where required. The IRCC study permit is submitted online, and Bangladeshi applicants give biometrics at the designated visa application centre; the file is processed by IRCC rather than a local visa office.

Costs, scholarships, visa timeline and the PGWP

Plan for tuition of CAD 15,000–CAD 35,000 a year and living costs of CAD 1,200–2,000 a month, plus proof of CAD 20,635 alongside first-year tuition. The study permit typically takes 4–12 weeks. Bangladeshi students can target the Vanier scholarship, IDRC awards or entrance scholarships, and graduates may apply for a PGWP of up to three years towards permanent residency.
