Myanmar to Canada Spousal Sponsorship
Applicants from Myanmar do not have additional Myanmar-specific IRCC forms or special country-specific document requirements for spousal sponsorship. Applications should therefore follow the standard IRCC spousal sponsorship instructions and document checklist, with careful attention to complete identity and civil-status documents, required translations and clear evidence supporting the relationship.
Canada’s spousal sponsorship program allows eligible Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor a spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner for permanent residence. IRCC assesses the sponsor’s eligibility, the genuineness of the relationship and the sponsored applicant’s admissibility before making a final decision.
IRCC permanent residence statistics show that 120 citizens of Myanmar were admitted to Canada as sponsored spouses or partners from 2023 through May 2026. This included 35 admissions in 2023, 45 in 2024, 30 in 2025 and 10 from January to May 2026.
Myanmar to Canada Study Permit
Applicants applying for a Canada study permit from Myanmar, also known as Burma, must follow the Bangkok visa office instructions for local document requirements. These instructions are listed in the Bangkok Visa Office Additional Document Checklist — IMM 5819, which is used together with the standard Canada study permit checklist.
For Myanmar applicants, IMM 5819 focuses on financial support, the source of study funds, a one-page study plan, and proof of current or previous studies.
Required Forms
Myanmar study permit applicants must follow the Bangkok Visa Office Additional Document Checklist for study permits.
Country-specific checklist:
IMM 5819 is used alongside the standard study permit checklist. It does not replace the general study permit requirements.
Financial Support
Myanmar study permit applicants should provide detailed documents showing how their studies in Canada will be funded.
Applicants should include documents from their financial supporter, such as:
- bank books or bank statements in the financial supporter’s name;
- a written explanation from the financial supporter describing the source of the funds;
- supporting evidence of the source of funds, such as employment letters, business registration documents or tax records;
- a written declaration confirming the financial supporter’s intention to support the applicant throughout their studies; and
- proof of the applicant’s relationship to the financial supporter, such as a birth or marriage certificate.
The Bangkok checklist places particular importance on demonstrating the origin of the funds. Large deposits that are not supported by evidence showing where the money came from may not be accepted as reliable proof that the applicant can afford to study in Canada.
Applicants who have received a scholarship should provide the original supporting documents, including a letter from the funding organization confirming the full amount they will receive during each year of the proposed study program.
Study Plan
Myanmar study permit applicants should provide a study plan written in their own words and limited to one page.
The study plan should explain:
- why the applicant wants to study in Canada at the educational institution and in the program to which they have been accepted;
- the applicant’s overall educational goal; and
- how the Canadian diploma or degree may improve their future employment opportunities.
The study plan should be specific to the applicant’s academic background and career path. It should explain why the proposed Canadian program is a logical choice for the applicant rather than relying on a general statement about studying in Canada.
Student Records
Myanmar study permit applicants should provide documents confirming their current or previous education.
Applicants should include:
- a copy of their most recently obtained school diploma or certificate, including high school or university documents; and
- transcripts showing their academic results.
Applicants who are currently studying and have not yet completed their program should provide:
- their most recent transcript of marks; and
- a letter from the educational institution confirming when they are expected to complete the program.
These documents help establish the applicant’s education history and support the study plan included with the application.
Myanmar to Canada Visitor Visa
IRCC does not provide a separate document checklist for Canadian visitor visa applicants from Myanmar. Applicants should therefore follow the standard IRCC visitor visa requirements and submit the supporting documents requested through their online application.
IRCC recorded 425 visitor visas for Myanmar in 2023, 540 in 2024, and 525 in 2025, followed by 340 from January to June 2026.
A Canadian visitor visa can allow eligible travellers from Myanmar 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.
