Our Thoughts

We know how hard it is to travel with a weak passport like Bangladesh.

Since the passport power is beyond our control, we can make our passport stronger by getting powerful visas like the US, the UK, Canada, and Schengen countries.

Since a Canada visa is issued for the longest period of time, we all should aim to get a Canadian visa at some point.
