Bangladesh-specific notes

Old Facebook-group checklists (IMM 1294 paper form, CAD 10,000 funds) are out of date. Use the current IRCC pages.

A DLI listing does not make every programme PGWP-eligible: check the programme itself.

Every sponsor document must be genuine and consistent; large recent deposits need a documented source.
