In order to obtain a Canadian Tourist Visa from Bangladesh, Bangladeshi nationals must first apply online/offline. The applicant must fill out all the necessary forms as per the immigration’s instruction. After filling out the forms, an applicant needs to upload all the documents as the embassy instructed (if online) OR submit all the required documents to the Visa Application Center (if offline). After that, the applicant must schedule a Biometrics appointment at the Canada Visa Application Center in Bangladesh. Immigration will then make their decision and request for the applicant’s passport (if the visa application is successful) and it has to be submitted at the Visa Application Center for reviewing. After the reviewing process is completed, passports can be collected from the visa application center in person.
