So, What is the Eligibility for a Canada Visa?

These criteria include:

• Have a valid passport
• Be in good health
• Have no criminal or immigration-related convictions

There are some additional eligibility requirements as well. 

You need sufficient funds to support yourself and any family members coming with you and evidence/invitation letter if you are visiting a family member in Canada.

You also need to prove onward travel out of Canada at the end of your visit by your employment situation, financial details, and strong home ties.

What Can You Do on A Visitor Visa?

All visitors must understand what they can do before entering the country to ensure they comply with all regulations.

With a Canada tourist visa from Bangladesh, you can enter and stay in Canada, transit through the country, search for work, join a short-term course, and perform business activities.

Entering and Staying in Canada: A visitor visa allows an individual to enter Canada for up to 6 months. Applicants must provide proof of their financial resources and ties to their home countries that would indicate their intention to leave Canada at the end of the authorized period of stay.

This could include documents such as bank statements, return air tickets, or an invitation letter from someone living in the country.

Transiting Through Canada: With a visitor visa, you can also transit through Canada while traveling between two other countries.

Searching For Work: It is important to remember that a visitor visa does not allow individuals to work while staying in the country; however, you may be able to search for work opportunities actively. You can attend job interviews or seek out potential employers during their stay.

Steps for Canada Visa Application from Bangladesh

While applying for a Canadian visitor visa, there are several things to consider. These include:

• Consulting an expert, since self application is always risky when you don’t have proper knowledge and prior experience.
• Defining your legitimate purpose for a visit
• Obtaining the necessary documents
• Collecting financial documents from banks and other financial institutions
• Having some prior travel history is always a plus

If you think you meet the criteria, you can proceed to apply for a Canada visa from Bangladesh.

We’ll demonstrate these step by step to give you a clear idea of the process.  

Step 1: Fill out the Visa Form Online

The first step in obtaining a Canadian visitor visa is to complete an online application form. 

This form requires basic personal information such as name, date of birth, address, family, contact information, and questions about current employment status, financial details, and travel history. 

Once this form is completed, applicants must pay the required fee by credit card online.

There are 2 portals to apply for a Canadian visa:

• The old GCKey portal is where you need to fill out the visa form in PDF.
• IRCC has a new portal where applications are processed faster.

The good news is…….. 

With the new IRCC portal, you don’t need to fill out complex PDF forms; instead, the information is asked with interactive form fields and questions.

However, you need to decide which portal you would like to apply to, as one portal is better than another based on your circumstances.

Step 2: Upload Necessary Documents For Canada Tourist Visa From Bangladesh

Document requirements vary based on your circumstances and the portal you apply. We have tried to give you a generic Canada tourist visa document checklist from Bangladesh. 

All of these documents need to be submitted online. You must add legible scan copies. And each file should not be more than 4 MB. You can combine multiple files into one, and then compress the file to minimize the file size.

Step 3: Provide Biometrics in VFS Global

Providing visa biometrics is a mandatory step in the Canadian visa application process. It allows the Canadian government to confirm one’s identity while protecting citizens from potential fraud or abuse of the immigration system.

Once you submit your application, you will likely receive a Biometrics Request Letter within 3-72 hours. This document is issued by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and outlines the steps needed to provide biometrics.

Once the letter has been received, you must make an appointment with VFS Global Dhaka or Sylhet. VFS Global is the only authorized service provider by the Government of Canada in Bangladesh to process the biometrics data from the applicants.

VFS Global Dhaka offers convenient appointment times scheduling on their website or via phone. Applicants must bring their valid passport, copy of the passport, VFS appointment, and Biometrics Instructions Letter.

During the visit, applicants will have their fingerprints and photograph taken by a VFS Global staff and sent to IRCC.

Step 4: Waiting for Visa Decisions

So, you have attended your biometrics appointment in VFS Global. You may have been waiting for a few weeks and not hearing any follow-ups. 

You’re probably wondering……. 

‘How long does it take to get a response from biometrics? Is there something wrong, or have your submissions gone awry? 

Don’t worry.

We can assure you- this is quite normal.  

Your visa process starts once you provide biometrics. Processing time normally takes a while, somewhere between 4-12 weeks.

After the biometrics data is updated on the portal, your applications will be reviewed by Immigration officials. They will determine whether or not you meet the eligibility requirements for a Canada visitor visa.

If approved for a visa, Immigration officials will issue you a Passport Request (PPR) letter. You will receive a generic refusal letter on the visa portal if the application is unsuccessful.

Step 5: Passport Submission & Delivery

Submitting a passport to the Canada Visa Application Centre (VFS) is straightforward. Once you receive your passport request (PPR) from IRCC, you can visit the VFS Global office directly. They accept walk-in passport submissions.

You need the following documents: 

• Original passport
• Any old passports with travel history
• Passport request (PPR) letter issued by IRCC
• Documents you received from VFS Global during your biometrics appointment

 Try to arrive early on VFS Global to avoid long waiting times and ensure that you have all the necessary paperwork ready. 

During the submission of your passport, VFS Global staff will assist you. They will also give you a tentative date for your passport delivery. You can receive your passport from the same VFS office or get home delivery for an additional charge.

It takes approximately 7 to 14 working days from your passport submission to delivery.

Steps to Obtain a Canadian Visa from Bangladesh

Every year, 35 million people travel to Canada for various reasons – visiting loved ones, attending business meetings, or enjoying the scenic beauty.

Impressive, isn’t it? That’s a whopping 35,000,000 people!

Interested in being part of this statistic? If you’re traveling for a valid reason, have enough financial resources, and a history of prior travel, you might be able to secure the longest visitor visa available for us.

Did we catch your attention with ‘the longest possible’?

Here’s what you need to know.

For Bangladeshi citizens, the Canadian visa is particularly appealing. It offers a 10-year duration with the flexibility of multiple entries. This single visa not only allows travel to Canada but also to 21 other countries over these years.

Applying for a Canadian visa from Bangladesh is quite straightforward. However, it’s crucial to be well-informed about the eligibility criteria and the application procedure.

Eligibility Requirements for a Canadian Visa

To apply for a Canadian visitor visa from Bangladesh, it’s essential to satisfy specific eligibility conditions.

These requirements encompass:

– Possessing a valid passport – Maintaining good health – Having a clean record, free from criminal or immigration-related convictions

Additional criteria are also in place.

Financial stability is crucial. You must have adequate funds to support yourself and any accompanying family members. If you’re visiting a family member in Canada, an invitation letter or evidence of your relationship is necessary.

Furthermore, you need to demonstrate your intention to leave Canada after your visit. This can be shown through your employment status, financial details, and strong ties to your home country.

Activities Permitted on a Canadian Visitor Visa

It is crucial for all visitors to be aware of the permissible activities under their visa to adhere to Canadian regulations.

Holders of a Canada tourist visa from Bangladesh are entitled to several privileges:

Entering and Staying in Canada: The visitor visa grants entry into Canada for a period of up to six months. Applicants are required to show proof of financial means and connections to their home country, demonstrating their intent to depart Canada after their authorized stay. This proof can include bank statements, return flight tickets, or an invitation letter from a Canadian resident.

Transiting Through Canada: This visa also allows for transit through Canada when traveling between two different countries.

Searching For Work: While a visitor visa does not permit employment in Canada, it does allow for job search activities. This includes attending job interviews and meeting potential employers.

Enrolling in Short-Term Courses: Visitors can enroll in educational or training programs that last less than six months.

Engaging in Business Activities: Certain business-related activities are permissible, like participating in meetings or conferences. However, employment with a Canadian company requires a valid work permit.

Important Reminder: Visitors in Canada on this visa must not engage in activities like taking paid employment or full-time schooling without proper authorization, as these actions are illegal under Canadian law.

Guide to Applying for a Canadian Visa from Bangladesh

Embarking on the process of applying for a Canadian visitor visa demands careful consideration of several key factors:

• Seek Expert Advice: It’s advisable to consult with professionals, especially if you lack prior experience or in-depth knowledge. Self-application can be risky without proper guidance.
• Clarify Your Visit Purpose: Clearly define your legitimate reason for visiting Canada.
• Gather Necessary Documentation: Assemble all required documents for the application.
• Collect Financial Proofs: Obtain financial documents from banks and other financial institutions to demonstrate your financial stability.
• Showcase Travel History: Having a record of previous travel can be beneficial.

If you believe you satisfy these requirements, you can initiate your application for a Canadian visa from Bangladesh.

But how exactly?

We will guide you through the process, step by step, to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of how to proceed.

Step 1: Completing the Online Visa Application

The initial step in acquiring a Canadian visitor visa is to fill out the online application form. This form asks for essential details like your name, date of birth, address, family information, contact details, and queries regarding your current employment, financial status, and travel history.

After filling out the form, you need to pay the necessary fee via an online credit card transaction.

When it comes to applying for a Canadian visa, there are two platforms available:

• The GCKey Portal: This traditional portal requires you to complete the visa form in a PDF format.
• The New IRCC Portal: This newer portal offers a more streamlined process, with applications generally processed more quickly. Here, instead of dealing with complex PDF forms, you’ll encounter interactive fields and questions, making the process more user-friendly.

However, choosing the right portal depends on your specific situation. Each portal has its advantages, so it’s important to consider which one aligns best with your circumstances.

Step 2: Upload Necessary Documents For Canada Tourist Visa From Bangladesh

Document requirements vary based on your circumstances and the portal you apply. We have tried to give you a generic Canada tourist visa document checklist from Bangladesh. 

All of these documents need to be submitted online. You must add legible scan copies. And each file should not be more than 4 MB. You can combine multiple files into one, and then compress the file to minimize the file size.

Step 3: Scheduling and Attending a Biometrics Appointment at VFS Global

The provision of biometric data is an essential part of the Canadian visa application process. This step is vital for identity verification and helps safeguard against potential fraud or misuse of the immigration system.

After submitting your visa application, you should expect to receive a Biometrics Request Letter within 3 to 72 hours. Issued by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), this letter will detail the necessary steps for providing your biometrics.

Upon receiving the letter, you need to schedule an appointment with VFS Global, either in Dhaka or Sylhet. VFS Global is the exclusive service provider authorized by the Canadian government in Bangladesh for collecting biometric information from applicants.

You can conveniently book an appointment with VFS Global Dhaka through their website or by phone. For the appointment, it’s mandatory to bring your valid passport, a copy of your passport, the VFS appointment confirmation, and the Biometrics Instructions Letter from IRCC.

At the VFS Global center, a staff member will assist you in capturing your fingerprints and photograph. These biometrics are then forwarded to IRCC for processing as part of your visa application.

Step 4: Awaiting Visa Decision

Once you’ve completed your biometrics appointment at VFS Global, a period of waiting follows, often accompanied by silence with no immediate updates.

If you find yourself wondering about the delay, pondering questions like “How long will it take to get a response after biometrics? Is there an issue with my application?”

Rest assured, such a wait is entirely standard.

The actual visa processing commences post-biometric submission. The duration for this process typically ranges from 4 to 12 weeks.

After your biometric data is updated in the system, immigration officials will thoroughly review your application. Their role is to assess if you fulfill the eligibility criteria for a Canadian visitor visa.

Should your application be successful, the immigration authorities will send you a Passport Request (PPR) letter, indicating approval. Conversely, if your application does not meet the requirements, you will receive a generic refusal letter via the visa portal.

Step 5: Passport Submission and Collection at VFS Global

Once you have received the Passport Request (PPR) letter from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the next step is to submit your passport to the Canada Visa Application Centre, operated by VFS Global. This process is quite straightforward and can be done without a prior appointment, as they accept walk-in submissions.

Here’s what you should bring for the passport submission:

• Your original passport.
• Any previous passports that contain your travel history.
• The Passport Request (PPR) letter from IRCC.
• Any documents you received from VFS Global during your biometrics appointment.

To avoid long queues and delays, aim to arrive early at the VFS Global office. Make sure all your documents are in order and ready for submission.

The staff at VFS Global will assist you during the passport submission process. They will also provide you with a tentative date when you can expect your passport to be ready. Depending on your preference, you can either collect your passport from the VFS office or opt for home delivery, which is available for an additional fee.

Typically, the time frame from passport submission to when it’s ready for collection or delivery is about 7 to 14 working days.
