Belarus to Canada Spousal Sponsorship
Applicants applying for spousal sponsorship from Belarus must follow the country-specific IRCC instructions alongside the standard sponsorship application checklist. These instructions identify the additional local forms and supporting documents that may be required for an application involving Belarusian nationals.
For Belarus applicants, the country-specific requirements include additional IMM forms, military service records where applicable, divorce documents, and copies of a labour book or workbook for Belarusian passport holders aged 18 or older.

Applicants from Belarus must complete the following country-specific forms where applicable:

Belarus to Canada Study Permit
IRCC does not currently provide a separate Belarus-specific study permit checklist, visa office checklist, or local document instructions. Applicants from Belarus should therefore follow the standard IRCC study permit requirements and provide all supporting documents relevant to their studies, finances, and individual circumstances.
IRCC statistics show continued interest in Canadian education among Belarusian citizens. 65 study permits were issued in 2021, 80 in 2022, 100 in 2023, 70 in 2024, and 50 in 2025. An additional 40 study permits were recorded from January to June 2026.
These figures reflect the ongoing presence of Belarusian students in Canada’s international education system. Applicants should ensure that their study plans, financial resources, and supporting documents are clearly presented and meet all applicable IRCC requirements.
Belarus to Canada Visitor Visa
IRCC does not provide a separate document checklist for Canadian visitor visa applicants from Belarus. Applicants should therefore follow the standard IRCC visitor visa requirements and submit the supporting documents requested through their online application.
IRCC recorded 805 visitor visas for Belarus in 2023, 585 in 2024, and 480 in 2025, followed by 290 from January to June 2026.
A Canadian visitor visa can allow eligible Belarusian 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.
