Bangladesh isn't on CFIA's list of countries with a negotiated pet export certificate, so you get current rules from Bangladesh's veterinary authority or embassy and, where they fit, use CFIA's Canadian International Health Certificate. CFIA must endorse it before your pet leaves Canada. Fly into Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal airport, the only entry point named for arriving pets.

FAQ
Common questions
Biman Bangladesh Airlines lists Toronto among its routes from Dhaka and carries dogs and cats only in the hold, as accompanied baggage or cargo. Etihad, Emirates and Turkish Airlines also sell journeys from Toronto to Bangladesh on their own websites.
Not on Biman, which takes pets only in the hold. Etihad accepts a cat or dog in the cabin if it's at least 16 weeks old and weighs up to 8 kg with its carrier, but only when every flight on the ticket is Etihad-operated. Turkish Airlines also caps cabin pets at 8 kg including the crate, and sends crates over 75 x 75 x 125 cm by Turkish Cargo.
No: Turkish Airlines refuses snub-nosed breeds such as Persian cats, Pugs and French Bulldogs in the hold. They may fly in its cabin only if pet and carrier together weigh 8 kg or less.
CFIA has no negotiated certificate for Bangladesh, so it tells owners to get the current import requirements from Bangladesh's veterinary authorities or embassy. If Bangladesh sets no format of its own, a Canada-licensed vet completes the Canadian International Health Certificate and an official government vet endorses it. Book the CFIA endorsement appointment early, as walk-ins aren't accepted.
Emirates' 14:55 departure from Toronto Pearson takes 22 hours 25 minutes and lands at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 23:20 local time the next day. The airport's Livestock Quarantine Station checks your pet's documents and health, and wants soft copies of the paperwork emailed at least 7 days before arrival.
