Macau to Canada Spousal Sponsorship
Last updated: January, 2026
Sponsoring your spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner from Macau? While there are no “extra forms,” the Hong Kong Visa Office has a very specific list of required documents that you must follow to the letter.
From 2016 to 2025, we supported 97 clients from Macau SAR through the Canadian immigration process. If you’d like a full overview of Canada immigration spouses, you can just book a consultation with our Licensed immigration consultants. Also, you can check our Immigration Consultant Cost.
