Yeah!

I was also very excited to see that we have all the criteria but there's a big exception for Iran, Iraq, Syria,... Seems to be perfect for Bangladesh though.

"Research country exceptions

In principle, IDRC supports research in all developing countries. At this time, however, we do not offer awards for research that involves the following countries:

Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Mali, North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of), Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Yemen, southern and eastern Europe, Central Asia, and South Caucasus."

All the best, Yasaman

One more point to note: they need a work permit for this. If you are applying for the award, you might need to apply for a work permit if you don't have one already.

This particular point is unclear to me, though. Post-grad students usually have study permits and they are not supposed to have a work permit in parallel. If you are emailing them for any clarification, you might want clarification on this point, too.

Thanks, Rifat

When I was doing my master degree, one of my colleagues had a ta offer and she had to fill a working permit. I don't know if things changed or anything like that. You can email them but I believe they require a working permit for people who are not studying (as the award is not only for students). If you are a full time student, you are eligible to do research.

Best, Dina

In-campus work (like TA) does not require a work permit. But for working full time, we (internationals) need a full-time work permit, which we won't get until we finish our degrees.
