Begum Para, Canada (original) (raw)

Begum Para (Bengali: বেগম পাড়া) is the luxurious residential area for the Bangladeshi immigrants in Toronto, Canada. The foreign ministry of Bangladesh found the connection of money launderers to the Begum Para. Most of them are Bangladeshi government officials, followed by politicians and businessmen. In Begum Para, wives and children of Bangladeshi extra-opulent people live a luxurious life with the illegal money sent by their husbands. Retiring from their job, the guys go to their Begums (wives) in Canada. For this reason, these places have been named Begum Para.
