Mauritius to Canada Spousal Sponsorship
Last updated: January, 2026
Are you planning to sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner from Mauritius to Canada? Mauritius applications are generally straightforward, because IRCC does not impose extra country-specific forms or document rules—but delays can still happen if the standard process isn’t followed carefully.
Based on IRCC’s Mauritius instructions and our experience with Mauritius-based files, here is exactly what you need to prepare.
With Mauritius applications, the strongest files are the ones that follow IRCC’s standard process precisely, submit clean civil-status documents, and avoid small inconsistencies.
Between 2016 and 2025, our Toronto immigration consultants assisted 108 clients from Mauritius, so we know exactly where Mauritius-based sponsorship applications tend to slow down—and how to prevent unnecessary delays. If you’d like a full overview, you can visit our Spousal Sponsorship page, review our spousal sponsorship fees, and book a consultation for more personalized guidance based on your situation.
Country-Specific Documents
Additional forms for residents
Mauritius does not require any extra country-specific forms. Applicants follow IRCC’s standard spousal sponsorship forms only.
There are no special document instructions for Mauritius. Standard IRCC rules apply for:
- marriage certificates,
- birth certificates,
- divorce documents (if applicable), and
- identity documents.
As long as documents are official, complete, and legible, Mauritius files typically move smoothly.
The Hidden Hurdle
Where Applications Commonly Slow Down
When delays occur, they are usually caused by:
- missing or inconsistent civil-status documents,
- incomplete residence or address history, or
- translations that do not meet IRCC’s certification requirements.
Because there are no Mauritius-specific add-ons, IRCC focuses heavily on overall completeness and consistency.
Translation Requirements
Mauritius documents may be issued in English or French. If a document is not in English or French, you must submit:
- the original document (or clear copy), and
- a certified translation that meets IRCC standards.
Names, dates, and spelling must match exactly across all forms and documents.
