Rwandan applicants follow the standard sponsorship package only.
Other “Must-have” Documents
IRCC does not list any special document rules for:
- Marriage certificates

All documents simply need to follow the standard Canadian requirements. Any document not in English or French must be accompanied by a certified translation.
