Between January 2023 and March 2025, Canada welcomed 14,610 new permanent residents from Brazil. Most arrived through economic immigration (11,695 in total). Key pathways included 4,750 approvals via provincial nominee streams such as the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), 2,595 through the Federal Skilled Worker stream (managed under Express Entry), 2,400 via the Canadian Experience Class, and 1,130 who moved from temporary to permanent status. Other notable routes were the Rural and Northern Immigration program (200) and Caregiver and Business categories (100 and 140, respectively). Family Sponsorship brought 2,200 newcomers—led by Spouse/Partner Sponsorship (1,650), Parent/Grandparent Sponsorship (445), and Child Sponsorship (85). Protection pathways accounted for 95 approvals, and 615 people arrived through other categories. Our Brazil to Canada immigration consultants can compare these options with you and outline realistic timelines based on your profile.
Canada also remains a popular education destination for Brazilian citizens. From January 2023 to March 2025, IRCC issued a combined 18830 Study Permits to students from Brazil, creating a clear path from Study in Canada to Canadian work experience and, later, permanent residence.

Brazil to Canada Spousal Sponsorship
Last updated:
Canada continues to welcome many families from Brazil, and spousal or partner sponsorship remains one of the most popular ways for couples to reunite and build a future together. While Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)’s rules apply equally to all nationalities, Brazilian applicants should understand a few Brazil-specific considerations that can influence the process. Our Spousal Sponsorship Immigration Consultants have deep experience navigating these waters. Between 2016 and 2025, we assisted 177 clients from Brazil, and we know exactly what officers look for. Here is the essential checklist you need to prepare.

Country-Specific Documents
- Police Certificates (Certificados de Antecedentes): Brazilian applicants must prepare for specific police document requirements:
- A Federal Police Certificate (Certidão de Antecedentes Criminais da Polícia Federal).
- Note: Applicants must provide certificates from any country/region where they have spent six or more months since the age of 18.
- Apostille Requirement (for documents issued in Canada): As both Canada and Brazil are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention, Canadian documents (such as birth certificates or divorce decrees) that are being used to support the application process in Brazil must be authenticated with an Apostille rather than traditional legalization.
- Complex Naming Conventions: Brazilian naming conventions often include multiple surnames (sobrenomes), which can include the mother’s family name and the father’s family name. Ensuring consistent and complete names across all IRCC forms and supporting documents (passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate) is critically important to prevent delays or rejection due to identity discrepancies.
- Marriage Certificate (Certidão de Casamento): If the couple married in Brazil, the marriage certificate must be obtained from the local Cartório de Registro Civil. This official document serves as primary proof of the relationship status. If the marriage took place outside Brazil, the marriage should ideally be transcribed/registered with a Brazilian Consulate or in a Cartório in Brazil, though IRCC may accept the foreign-issued certificate if it is legal in both the country of issue and in Canada.
Translation Requirements
- Certified Translations: Since all Brazilian documents (e.g., birth certificates, marriage certificates, police certificates) are issued in Portuguese, certified translations into English or French are mandatory.
- IRCC Requirements: IRCC typically requires a translation to be done by a certified professional translator who is a member in good standing of a professional translation association in Canada or abroad. This translation must be accompanied by an affidavit or a certified copy of the original document. Starting this process early can significantly reduce overall application delays.
