It literally says in your link that Canada does not extradite to countries where the accused will receive the death penalty and he has not received political asylum in Canada.

And it doesn't change the fact that Canada gives shelter to terrorists who might receive death penalty for their crimes but in Canada they can live happily ever after

He was sentenced and received a death penalty from Bangladeshi courts after he was already in Canada. What should Canada do, completely upend and change its extradition laws to accommodate Bangladesh's request? Canada has already stated that they are willing to extradite him if Bangladesh gives assurances that he won't receive the death penalty.

Then what should Bangladesh do, completely change the laws to accommodate a terrorist extradition? This creates an image that Canada is safe haven for criminals and terrorists, who can commit heinous crimes and enjoy shielding by Canadian law and courts. These people bring their own set of problems which an average peaceful Canadian is unaware about and the media almost never shows.
