China to Canada Spousal Sponsorship

Last updated: January, 2026

Bringing a spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner from China to Canada is generally straightforward, but IRCC requires very specific civil documents—especially for births, marriages, and household records.

With accurate documentation and well-organized evidence, applicants can move through the sponsorship process smoothly and confidently. If at any point you feel unsure about a document or a specific step, our consultants are available to guide you and help avoid costly delays. From 2016 to 2024, our Canadian immigration consultants have supported 420 clients from China in navigating Canada’s immigration pathways with care and precision. You can book a consultation for personalized guidance or review our Immigration Consultant Fees to compare packages and choose the level of support that fits your needs.
