What else do people ask about the Canada visa?
Yes. A Temporary Resident Visa (Visitor Visa) is required — Bangladesh is not eligible for Canada's eTA, and there is no visa-on-arrival or e-visa option.
CAD $100 application fee plus CAD $85 biometrics fee per person, per the official IRCC fee page. Fees can change, so re-check ircc.canada.ca close to your application date.
At the VFS Global Canada Visa Application Centre in Dhaka, after receiving the Biometric Instruction Letter. The exact current address could not be confirmed on an official page in this research pass, so verify it on visa.vfsglobal.com/bgd/en/can, or ask FlyNext, before travelling to the centre.
The visa document can be valid up to 10 years, or until your passport expires if sooner. That is different from a single stay, which is normally capped at about 6 months and is decided by the border officer, not printed on the visa.
IRCC's official processing-time tool is interactive and needs your own application date, so no fixed current figure can be published here. Check canada.ca's 'Check processing times' tool directly when you apply, rather than relying on unofficial estimates.
No standard interview requirement was found on official IRCC pages. Biometrics (fingerprints and a photo) are required in person in Dhaka, and an officer may still ask for more information or an interview in individual cases.
No. Only the embassy, high commission or immigration authority decides whether a visa is granted, so no agency can honestly guarantee it. What we do is make sure your application is complete, consistent and matches the official checklist, which removes the most common reasons for refusal. Be wary of anyone who promises a guaranteed visa for an extra payment.
Yes. Send us the refusal letter and the documents you submitted. We look at the reason the embassy gave, such as weak financial proof, an unclear travel purpose or missing papers, and fix that before you apply again. Reapplying with the same file usually brings the same result. Tell the embassy about the earlier refusal whenever the form asks: hiding it can lead to a longer ban.
Embassy requirements can change at any time. Contact us to confirm the latest checklist before you apply.
