Visa information

Student visas for Canada

Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa...

Don't worry, everything is ok. We're on it, and we're doing all we can to make your search for the right international degree in Canada a little easier and more enjoyable.

Still, while we’re catching up, you can always beat us to it and:

• Check if you really need a student visa. Since you're from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in Canada yes, you’ll definitely need a study permit.

• Start exploring the official website of the Canadian High Commission in Dhaka or the Canadian visa office. That’s where all the latest and most reliable information lives. Bookmark it, read it, reread it.

• Check the deadlines. The visa process takes time and missing a step or delaying your application could mean missing your semester start. Not the kind of plot twist you want.

• Go on a paperwork treasure hunt. Passport, university acceptance letter from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), completed study permit application, proof of financial support, passport-sized photos, academic documents, language test results yes, the list is long, and yes, you’ll need every piece.

• Start saving up. You’ll need to show you can financially support yourself while studying in Canada. That means proving you can cover tuition, living expenses, and maybe even your winter jacket and hot chocolate budget.

• Enhance your English skills even if you’ve already taken IELTS, TOEFL or other tests. Strong language proficiency will benefit both your visa process and academic success.

All in all, getting your Canadian study permit might feel like a lot, but it’s a big step toward an even bigger adventure.

Thanks and good luck!

Work Permit

Work while studying in Canada
If you’re from Bangladesh, you will need a study permit with work authorization if you want to combine studying with working in Canada.

Here you see the rules for getting a part-time work permit.

If you hold a valid Canadian study permit, you’re allowed to work part-time in Canada during your studies. Currently, international students can work up to 20 hours per week during the academic year and full-time during scheduled breaks such as winter, summer, and spring holidays.
