Cyprus to Canada Spousal Sponsorship
Last updated: January, 2026
Sponsoring your spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner from Cyprus? While the process is standard, you must ensure your documents come from the correct authorities in the Republic of Cyprus (usually processed by the Rome Visa Office).
From 2016 to 2025, we supported 81 clients from Cyprus through the Canadian immigration process. If you’d like a full overview of spouse sponsorship Canada, you can just book a consultation with our Licensed immigration consultants. Also, you can check our Immigration Consultant Cost.
Country-Specific Documents
Travel History (IMM 5562): We strongly recommend completing this form for the principal applicant and all family members aged 18+.
Required Civil Documents
- Marriage: While church weddings are common, IRCC requires the Marriage Certificate issued by the Municipality or the District Administration Office.
- Jurisdiction: Ensure your documents are issued by the Republic of Cyprus authorities. Documents issued by the “TRNC” (Northern Cyprus) are not recognized by Canada and may require specific affidavits or re-registration in the South.
Police Certificates (PCC)
- Requirement: Applicants aged 18+ must provide a Clean Criminal Record Certificate.
- Issuing Authority: This is issued by the Cyprus Police.
- Process: You can apply online via the Cyprus Police website or in person at the District Police Divisional Headquarters.
Translation Requirements
If any document is not in English or French, include:
- the original document (or required certified copy), plus
- a certified translation
Make sure names, dates, and document details match exactly between the original and the translation.
Tip: Police certificates and some civil documents can be requested in English directly from the authorities to save on translation costs.
