Our Story

How We Started

Opportunity Exchange was founded in 2024 by a group of Bangladeshi IT professionals who recognized the unique challenges and opportunities of building tech careers in Canada. Having navigated immigration processes, cultural adaptations, and career transitions, they saw the need for a dedicated community to support fellow Bangladeshis in the Canadian tech industry.

What began as informal meetups among friends quickly evolved into a structured organization with a clear mission: to create a supportive network for Bangladeshi IT professionals across Canada, share knowledge, and celebrate both Bangladeshi heritage and Canadian success.

Today, we serve hundreds of members across Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and other Canadian cities, hosting regular events, maintaining an active job board, and fostering a supportive community that celebrates Bangladeshi culture while embracing Canadian opportunities.
