Taiwan to Canada Spousal Sponsorship
Last updated: January, 2026
Sponsoring a spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner from Taiwan?
Taiwan does not have extra country-specific IRCC forms or special document instructions, but it’s still important to follow the Taiwan country page carefully and include certified translations for any documents that aren’t in English or French.
Based on the Taiwan country-specific section you provided, here’s what applies.
From 2016 to 2025, our Toronto immigration consultants assisted 112 clients from Taiwan, and Taiwan cases are usually straightforward because IRCC lists very few Taiwan-specific add-ons. With Taiwan, the country-specific requirements are minimal—so the best approach is to follow IRCC’s standard process carefully, be ready for biometrics after you apply, and include certified translations whenever documents aren’t in English or French.
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
- There are no extra forms for Taiwan.
Taiwan – document instructions
- There are currently no special instructions for documents for Taiwan.
The Hidden Hurdle
Biometrics
In most cases, applicants must give biometrics (fingerprints and a photo) after applying. Plan for this as a post-submission step once IRCC issues instructions.
Translations
If any document is not in English or French, include:
- the original document, plus
- a certified translation
Keep names, dates, and document details consistent between the original and the translation to reduce clarification requests.
Top Mistakes to Avoid
- Assuming “no special instructions” means document preparation doesn’t matter
- Trying to complete biometrics before applying (in most cases, biometrics are given after submission)
- Submitting documents that aren’t in English or French without a certified translation
