This note follows the High Commission for Bangladesh in Ottawa, which serves people of Bangladeshi origin living in Canada, Trinidad and Tobago, Nicaragua, Cuba or The Bahamas. You fill in the application online at epassport.gov.bd and then book an appointment. Going in person for biometric enrolment is mandatory, and that is where your passport photo is taken, so you neither upload nor print one. The one exception is a child under 6, who brings one 4R (4 × 6 inch) photo with a grey background.
The High Commission asks applicants not to wear white clothes, because white can blend into the white background and spoil the biometric photo. Bring the bank draft or postal order for the fee, your current Bangladesh passport with a photocopy, and a copy of your proof of legal status in Canada. Fees are not refunded. The new passport is handed over in person or posted to you, whichever you chose at enrolment. The page does not mention glasses or head coverings.
