Questions students from Bangladesh ask us
Can my family come with me?
A spouse can sometimes apply for an open work permit, depending on your course level; children can usually attend school. Check the official rule; it changes.
Can I work while I study?
Usually allowed part-time in term time. The exact hours and the kinds of work allowed are set by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada; check the official rule before you count on the income.
What English score do I need?
Each course sets its own. Your counsellor checks the course page with you and tells you which tests the university and the authority accept.
What if my visa is refused?
We look at the refusal reasons with you and, where the rules allow, help you reapply. We never promise an outcome, because the decision is not ours.
