Libya to Canada Spousal Sponsorship
Applicants from Libya must follow the country-specific IRCC spousal sponsorship instructions in addition to the standard sponsorship checklist.
The Libya instructions require the principal applicant and all family members included in the application who are 18 years old or older to complete Supplementary Information – Your Travels [IMM 5562].
There are no special country-specific document instructions for Libya.
Libya to Canada Study Permit
Applicants applying for a Canada study permit from Libya must follow the Paris visa office instructions for local document requirements. These instructions are listed in the Paris Visa Office Additional Document Checklist — IMM 5852.
For Libya applicants, IMM 5852 is a short local checklist. It mainly focuses on school records and, where applicable, proof of legal residence if the applicant lives in a country where they are not a citizen.
Required Forms
Libya study permit applicants must follow the Paris Visa Office Additional Document Checklist for study permits.
Country-specific checklist:
IMM 5852 is used alongside the standard study permit checklist. It does not replace the general study permit requirements.
Applicants who live in a country where they are not citizens should also provide a photocopy of their valid residence permit.
School Records
Libya study permit applicants should provide documents confirming their education history.
Applicants should include:
- diplomas;
- transcripts; and
- English or French translations if the original school records are in another language.
These documents should be prepared according to the Paris visa office instructions.
Libya to Canada Visitor Visa
IRCC does not provide a separate country-specific document checklist for Canadian visitor visa applicants from Libya. Applicants should therefore follow the standard IRCC visitor visa requirements and submit the supporting documents requested through their online application.
IRCC recorded 360 visitor visas for Libya in 2023, 470 in 2024, and 375 in 2025, followed by 210 from January to June 2026.
A Canadian visitor visa can allow eligible Libyan travellers to visit Canada temporarily for purposes such as tourism, visiting family or friends, or certain business activities. The supporting documents required will depend on the applicant’s individual circumstances, purpose of travel, financial situation, and plans for their temporary stay in Canada.
