Switzerland to Canada Spousal Sponsorship
Last updated: January, 2026
If you are sponsoring a spouse or dependent children from Switzerland, the process is generally straightforward compared to many other regions. Switzerland does not have extensive additional country-specific documentation requirements, but accuracy and consistency across all submitted information remain essential.
With accurate documentation and well-organized evidence, applicants can move through the sponsorship process smoothly and confidently. If at any point you feel unsure about a document or a specific step, our consultants are available to guide you and help avoid costly delays. From 2016 to 2024, our Canadian immigration consultants have supported 122 clients from Switzerland in navigating Canada’s immigration pathways with care and precision. You can book a consultation for personalized guidance or review our Immigration Consultant Fees to compare packages and choose the level of support that fits your needs.

Country-Specific Documents
Supplementary Information – Your Travels (IMM 5562)
Applicants residing in Switzerland must complete IMM 5562 if requested, outlining their travel and residence history. This applies to the principal applicant and any family members aged 18 or older, where applicable.
No other mandatory Switzerland-specific IRCC forms apply to spousal sponsorship cases.
Other “Must-have” Documents
IRCC does not impose special document formats or additional civil document requirements for Switzerland beyond standard sponsorship expectations. All civil status documents must be clear, complete, and consistent with the information declared throughout the application.
Certified translations are required for any documents not issued in English or French.
Biometrics
Most applicants will be required to provide biometrics (fingerprints and photo) after submission. Once a Biometrics Instruction Letter is issued, biometrics must be completed at an authorized Visa Application Centre.
For requirements that apply to all applicants regardless of country, please review our Spousal Sponsorship Program page.
