Pakistan to Canada Spousal Sponsorship

Last updated: January, 2026

Sponsoring spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner from Pakistan involves several IRCC-specific requirements, especially for identity, marriage proof, and security documentation.

Country-Specific Documents

Pakistani applicants must complete several forms in addition to the standard sponsorship package:

IMM 5562 – Travel History: Required for the principal applicant and all family members 18+.
IMM 5536 – Authorization to Disclose Information: Mandatory for all Pakistani nationals aged 18+.
IMM 5546 – Military Service: Required for anyone who has served in the military, police, defence units, or held a senior government position. Must include all pages of the military card/booklet.

These forms support the standard IRCC applications (IMM 1344, IMM 5532, IMM 0008, IMM 5669, IMM 5406), all of which must be accurate and digitally signed.

Marriage & Civil Documents

IRCC reviews Pakistani marriage documentation closely.
- Nikkah Nama + Union Council seal: Both are required. A NADRA Marriage Certificate may be included but is not enough on its own.
- Wedding evidence: If cultural ceremonies were held, submit labelled photos of the Nikkah, Rukhsati, and family gatherings (include names, dates, and event descriptions).
Divorce proof (if applicable): IRCC requires the Union Council divorce certificate and Certificate of Talaq; Khula cases must include the Family Court decree.
