Our Bangladesh to Canada Immigration Journey: Express Entry Step by Step Guide [February 2020 Update]

I don’t know why and when we finally decided to [try and] move to Canada! But here we are… fully invested in the express entry journey. Our PR application is still under processing. I thought about keeping a log of the immigration journey here, no matter what the outcome might be. Might help others in a similar situation, or at the least help to pass the time while we wait for a result. I will keep updating this page as our situation changes.
