Dear Forum Members,
A great news for those who are waiting to buy their air ti
cket to Canada.
A non-profit organization named IOM is giving a great support to buy ticket with a concessional price (upto 30% less than the usual price) from Emirates, Turkish & Qatar airways (Mostly all renowned airlines). The ticket will be one way from Dhaka to Canada.
I already bought the ticket from them. Thanks goes to Dr Fuad and Dr Tanvir as well.
We all should give big thanks to uroy & Ahmed B who already bought the ticket but never informed this forum even they never gave the details of this organizasion and their services. May be they thought why everybody should be benefitted!

Dear Forum Mates,
Today I collected tickets for my full family from IOM (International Organization for Migration, an agency of the United Nations). I have planned to leave in 2nd week of April. IOM has unbelievable offer for students, immigrants and their family members at a concessional rate. You can book Emirates/Turkish/Qatar airlines flights with IOM. You can also compare their rate of fare with that of other travel agents. I bought Emirates tickets as it was cheaper than Turkish airlines tickets if bought from travel agent. It cost Tk. 68917/- for adults and Tk. 52,262/-. (In case of Turkish airlines ticket bought from travel agents the cost is roughly Tk. 75000/- for adults and Tk. 62,500/- for children over 2 years. It will differ if duration of booking period is longer). With IOM price of Turkish airlines tickets is a bit lower than Emirates. But Emirates is class-1 airliner so I preferred Emirates. According to Emirates website the price is USD- 1323.80 (adult) and USD- 1008.10 (child). So with IOM I got roughly Tk. 1,36,000/- concession for 4 tickets. IOM does not provide this offer for other routine visas. And one can enjoy this offer only one time- during migrating form BD and again during coming back from any country for good (not every time we travel). These rules also apply for students also.
I got the linkage of IOM from Dr. Uttam Roy (uroy in forum) who has already travelled and confirmed their service.
I met and talked to the assigned officer today about all forum members and he warmly offered his assistance to you all. He just requested to book for flights as soon as possible for the lowest price (Emirates/Turkish airlines).
I can give you his name and contact details if you are interested.
Ahmed B.
Dear Haquebd,
I just noticed your post just when I completed this writing and tried to post it. Dr. Fuad talked to me about IOM and told me about your interest. I told him that during buying my tickets I will ask IOM official about other forum mates and if he agrees I will invite everyone. I also told Dr. Fuad that I will inform him about you on Monday. Yesterday I could not manage time to go to IOM. Today I did and just after coming back home I sat before my Laptop to invite you all. I cannot ask anybody to take any offer without being confirmed about the safety of that. So please don't make any negative comment without knowing the truth. It won't help anybody. I already asked Dr. Azad and Dr. Shahed to take their offer a couple of days back.
