Countries

Canada

Spouse: only on a master's of 16 months or longer

Verdict

Canada offers the full package on paper. Your spouse gets open work rights if the master's is 16+ months. Then come a 3-year post-study permit, PR in about 3.5 to 4 years, and citizenship about 6 years from arrival. Study permits from Bangladesh are currently decided in about 5 weeks. The two weak points are money and visa risk.

The file must show about USD 28,000 to 40,000, so a sponsor or loan is needed. Overall approval is under 50% and the last known Bangladeshi rate was 18%. Treat it as a stretch option for September 2027, and only if a family sponsor can document the funds and the program is a 16-month-plus master's at a low-tuition public university.

Otherwise do not spend application fees here.

Can the spouse come
Conditional
Conditions

IRCC page (modified 3 Feb 2026): since 21 Jan 2025 the spouse of a student gets an open work permit only in certain cases. The student must be in a master's program of 16 months or longer, a doctoral program, or a listed professional degree or eligible pilot program. An 8 to 12 month master's does not qualify.

Your spouse could then come only as a visitor with no work rights. Your spouse can apply online from outside Canada, selecting 'a work permit for a spouse of an international student', when you 'have or are applying for' the study permit, so filing together is possible.

It is not stated officially which processing clock applies to a spouse file lodged with yours: the 5-week study permit clock or the 31-week work permit clock from Bangladesh. Plan for your spouse possibly landing later than you.

Spouse work rights
Full
Spouse work in detail

Open work permit: any employer, full-time, conditional on the 16-month-plus master's rule. Fee: CAD 155 work permit + CAD 100 open work permit holder fee = CAD 255 (IRCC fee list modified 10 Nov 2026).

Standard open-permit exclusions (non-compliant employers, adult-entertainment businesses) and extension conditions apply; their details are not confirmed.

Student work hours

Up to 24 hours per week off campus during academic sessions; unlimited during scheduled breaks (IRCC page modified 15 Apr 2026).

Tuition in detail

Not free. The EduCanada/Statistics Canada average for international graduate students is about CAD 24,000 per year (not confirmed). Low end: Memorial University (page updated 9 Nov 2026) lists international tuition of CAD 9,666 total for a 2-year master's and CAD 6,654 for a 1-year master's.

Non-thesis (course-based) master's routes cost CAD 15,600 total, and many professional programs add special fees (example: Master of Data Science CAD 6,654 tuition + CAD 20,282 special fee). So the realistic cheapest taught master's is about CAD 15,600 to 27,000 for the whole program, not CAD 9,666.

Business analytics and MBA-type taught master's programs in Ontario and BC commonly run CAD 30,000 to 60,000 or more (general range, not confirmed per program).

Money to show in detail

IRCC page (modified 28 Aug 2026): this applies to applications on or after 1 Sep 2026, outside Quebec. You must show CAD 23,448 for one person and CAD 29,192 for student + spouse per year, excluding tuition and transport. First-year tuition and travel for both of you must be shown on top.

So the file must show roughly CAD 29,192 + first-year tuition (about CAD 8,000 to 25,000) + flights = about CAD 40,000 to 57,000 (USD 28,000 to 40,000). Accepted evidence (examples): bank statements for the past 6 months showing source of income, a Canadian GIC, or a Canadian bank account.

Also accepted: receipt of paid first-year tuition and housing, an education loan from a bank, or scholarship proof. A letter from the person giving the money (their job, relationship, dependants, amount) with relationship proof and photo ID is also accepted.

Sponsor funds and bank education loans are allowed; no blocked account is mandatory. Applicants from countries with foreign-exchange controls (Bangladesh) must also prove the funds can be exported.

Budget note

Exchange rate used: 1 USD = 124.79 BDT = 1.4271 CAD (xe.com mid-market, 14 Nov 2026). The living-cost show-money alone for two is CAD 29,192 (USD 20,450), before any tuition. A realistic file needs USD 28,000 to 40,000 visible. A family sponsor and a bank education loan are both officially accepted.

Government fees: study permit CAD 150 + spouse work permit CAD 255 + family biometrics CAD 170 = CAD 575 (USD 403); medical exams for both of you are extra. Actual cash out before and at arrival is lower: about USD 13,000 for the first tuition instalment, fees, medicals, two flights and two months of living costs.

This is an estimate, not an official figure. The officer judges the documents, not the plan to earn.

Realistic earnings

These figures are a rough guide, not confirmed against an official wage page. A student working 24 h/week at about CAD 16 to 18/h minimum wage earns about CAD 1,700 to 1,900/month gross. A spouse working full-time at minimum wage earns about CAD 2,800 to 3,100/month gross. English is the working language outside Quebec.

The newcomer entry-level job market has been soft, so allow 1 to 3 months to find a first job. A combined CAD 4,500/month gross or so can cover living in a cheaper city (St. John's, Winnipeg, Saskatoon), but not Toronto or Vancouver rent plus tuition.

Visa
Study permit (a temporary resident visa is issued with it). Your spouse applies for a spousal open work permit (SOWP).

No routine interview. An immigration medical exam is required for Bangladesh residents staying over 6 months (IRCC country list, modified 16 Jul 2026).

The responsible medical office is New Delhi and the exam is done by a panel physician locally. Master's students at public institutions need no provincial attestation letter since 1 Jan 2026 (IRCC page modified 2 Sep 2026).

Visa and passport risk

Risk for a Bangladesh passport
High
Why

No suspension or ban on Bangladeshi students was found. Overall odds are poor: IRCC reported 59% refusal and 41% approval for new study permits in Jan to Sep 2025 (51% approval in the same period of 2024).

Jan to Apr 2026 improved to 36% overall (from 26% a year earlier) and 49% for university postgraduate applicants (ApplyBoard from IRCC data, published 30 Jul 2026). Bangladesh-specific figures come only from a secondary site citing IRCC: 50% (2022), 39% (2023), 18% (2024).

It states that no 2025 or 2026 country figure is published, so the current Bangladeshi rate is not confirmed, but it was far below average. Weak financial documentation is the usual refusal ground, and an accompanying spouse generally adds to the 'will they leave' doubt.

In your favour: master's level, your CGPA 3.79, your IELTS 7.5, relevant work history, and the policy tilt toward graduate students.

Visa processing time

IRCC data file (updated 12 Nov 2026): study permit from Bangladesh 5 weeks; work permit from Bangladesh 31 weeks; visitor visa 31 days. IRCC told Parliament its posted times are backward-looking and do not reflect actual processing times. Add time for the biometrics appointment and the medical exam.

Work after the degree

Post-graduation work permit: master's graduates get 3 years even if the program was under 2 years (minimum 8 months). It is an open permit, the fee is CAD 255, and you apply within 180 days of graduating.

Language proof at CLB 7 in all four skills is required for university graduates (eligibility page modified 24 Jun 2026); there is no field-of-study restriction for master's degrees. Your current IELTS result will be too old by graduation, so a retest is needed.

The accepted test types for the permit are not confirmed; Express Entry needs IELTS General, CELPIP-General or PTE Core. Spouse work permit rules during this stage are not confirmed.

PR route

Master's (16 to 24 months), then a 3-year post-graduation work permit, then 1 year (1,560 hours) of skilled Canadian work in TEER 0-3 within the last 3 years. Work while a full-time student and co-op terms do not count. Then Express Entry under Canadian Experience Class, or a provincial nominee graduate stream.

Recent CEC cut-offs: 518 (29 Sep 2026) and 519 (15 Oct 2026), which is high. From 3 Nov 2026 the CRS has a new Labour Market Integration factor worth up to 150 points.

It gives an extra 70/40/20 points for 12+ months of Canadian experience in a high-wage occupation, or 100/70/50 points for a job offer in a high-wage occupation (no LMIA needed). You get whichever is higher, not both.

Draws were paused for the recalculation (up to two weeks); the official rounds file shows no draw after 28 Oct 2026 as of 14 Nov 2026. Your IELTS Listening 7.5 maps to CLB 8, not CLB 9 (standard conversion, not confirmed), so a retake aiming for 8.0+ in listening is worth points. PR fees are CAD 1,590 each (CAD 3,180 for the couple).

Language for PR

Express Entry (page modified 16 Oct 2026): accepted English tests are IELTS General Training, CELPIP-General and PTE Core; IELTS Academic is not accepted. Results must be under 2 years old. The Canadian Experience Class minimum is CLB 7 for TEER 0/1 jobs and CLB 5 for TEER 2/3; competitive scores need CLB 9+ in every skill.

Citizenship needs CLB 4 speaking and listening.

2025 and 2026

21 Jan 2025: spouse open work permits limited to master's of 16+ months, PhD and listed programs. 1 Jan 2026: master's and doctoral students at public institutions exempt from the provincial attestation letter and the cap; new graduate study permits doubled from 3,085 in Q2 2025 to 6,455 in Q2 2026 (ICEF). 1 Sep 2026: living-cost funds raised to CAD 23,448 (one) / CAD 29,192 (two). 3 Nov 2026: Express Entry CRS overhaul with high-wage and job-offer points, draws paused (no draw since 28 Oct 2026). 5 Nov 2026: the 2027-2029 Levels Plan sets 150,000 new student arrivals a year.

The 2026 target is 155,000, with only about 65,000 arrivals in Jan to Aug 2026; 49,000 permits are reserved for postgraduates (ICEF, 11 Nov 2026). Still binding: the 24 h/week work cap and the language test for the post-graduation work permit (Nov 2024).

Corrected in this check
  • Exchange rate: 1 USD = 1.4271 CAD = 124.79 BDT (xe.com mid-market, 14 Nov 2026). Show-money for two = USD 20,450; government fees CAD 575 = USD 403.

    About CAD 40,423 (45 credits x CAD 898.28 JMSB international rate, Fall 2026/Winter 2027); compulsory fees extra.

    Entry

    Bachelor's with a B average / GPA 3.00 on 4.30 in the final two years: your CGPA 3.79 qualifies. The page banner says GMAT/GRE is no longer required, but the requirements section still lists them, so confirm with the school. The IELTS minimum is on a separate page and is not confirmed.

    Why it fits

    The strongest named match to 'business analytics + technology' in a big tech city, probably with no GMAT. Costly, and Quebec is the wrong province for an easy PR.

    Fee detail, entry and fit
    Fee detail

    Not confirmed: the university shows it only through an interactive fee estimator. A rough guess is CAD 38,000 to 42,000 for the 4 terms; check before relying on it. Application fee CAD 125. The page states there are no scholarships or bursaries for this program.

    Entry

    4-year bachelor's with about 70% (most admitted students have 73%+): your CGPA 3.79 qualifies. IELTS overall 7.0, no band minimum listed: your IELTS 7.5 qualifies. GMAT/GRE not required. No work experience required. Bangladesh is not on the English-exemption list, so the IELTS is needed, and you have it.

    Why it fits

    The only option on the list with a January intake, no GMAT, and a Business Data Analytics stream that matches your work. It is also the most expensive, with no scholarship.
