Last updated: January, 2026
Sponsoring your spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner from Myanmar? While there are no “extra forms,” the documentation for Family Composition and Marriage can be complex.
From 2016 to 2025, we supported 74 clients from Myanmar through the Canadian immigration process. If you’d like a full overview of spouse sponsorship Canada, you can just book a consultation with our Canadian immigration advisers. Also, you can check our Immigration Consultant Fees.
Country-Specific Documents
In Myanmar, the Household Member List is the primary proof of family composition and residency.
- Requirement: You must submit a clear copy of the official Household List (often a booklet) showing the principal applicant and family members.
- National Registration Card (NRC): Submit a copy of the Citizenship Scrutiny Card (NRC/CSC) front and back.
Required Civil Documents
Marriage registration varies by religion in Myanmar.
- Requirement: Submit the Official Marriage Certificate registered with the court or relevant authority.
- Affidavit: If a formal certificate was not issued (common in some customary marriages), you may need to submit a Sworn Affidavit of Marriage supported by photos and the Household List showing the spouse.
Police Certificates (PCC)
- Requirement: Applicants aged 18+ must provide a Police Clearance Certificate.
- Issuing Authority: This is issued by the Township Police Station where the applicant resides.
- Recommendation: Get the certificate endorsed/notarized to ensure validity.
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.
