Algeria to Canada Spousal Sponsorship
Applicants applying for spousal sponsorship from Algeria must follow the country-specific IRCC instructions alongside the standard sponsorship application checklist. These instructions identify an additional form that must be completed as part of the application package.
Applicants from Algeria must complete Supplementary Information – Your Travels [IMM 5562] as a country-specific digital form.
This form is required for:

Algeria to Canada Express Entry
Algeria has become a notable source country for permanent residence through Canada’s Express Entry system. From 2021 to the first quarter of 2026, IRCC data shows 10,495 admissions of permanent residents under Express Entry for Algeria, reflecting steady interest among skilled workers moving from Algeria to Canada.
For applicants in Algeria, Express Entry success depends on building a strong and well-documented profile. Candidates may need competitive language test results, an Educational Credential Assessment for foreign education, accurate skilled work experience records, and proof of funds where required. French-language ability can also be an important advantage for eligible applicants, especially where it supports CRS points or French-language category-based opportunities.
An Algeria-focused Express Entry strategy should connect the applicant’s education, occupation, work history, language results in French or English, and possible provincial nomination options. With the right preparation, applicants from Algeria can strengthen their profile, improve their competitiveness, and move through the permanent residence process with greater clarity and confidence.
Algeria to Canada Study Permit
Applicants applying for a Canada study permit from Algeria must follow the Paris visa office instructions for local document requirements. These instructions are listed in the Paris Visa Office Additional Document Checklist — IMM 0152, which is used together with the standard Canada study permit checklist.
For Algeria applicants, IMM 0152 focuses on legal status, internship and language documents, current study records, income and bank records, social security or pension certificates, scholarships, and third-party financial support.

Algeria study permit applicants must follow the Paris Visa Office Additional Document Checklist for residents of Algeria.
Country-specific checklist:

Algeria to Canada Visitor Visa
IRCC does not provide a separate document checklist for Canada visitor visa applicants from Algeria. Applicants should therefore follow the standard IRCC visitor visa requirements and submit the supporting documents requested through their online application.
IRCC recorded 33,930 visitor visas for Algeria in 2023, 28,050 in 2024, and 18,045 in 2025, followed by 12,505 from January to June 2026.
A Canadian visitor visa can allow eligible Algerian travellers to visit Canada temporarily for purposes such as tourism, visiting family or friends, or certain business activities. The supporting documents required will depend on the applicant’s individual circumstances, purpose of travel, financial situation, and plans for their temporary stay in Canada.
