Spain to Canada Spousal Sponsorship
Applicants applying for spousal sponsorship from Spain must follow the country-specific IRCC instructions alongside the standard sponsorship application checklist. These instructions identify any additional local forms or documents required for an application involving Spanish nationals.
Applicants from Spain must follow the IRCC country-specific spousal sponsorship instructions for Spain.
The Spain instructions require Supplementary Information – Your Travels (IMM 5562), a digital form.
The principal applicant and all family members included in the application who are 18 years old or older must complete this form.
Spain to Canada Study Permit
IRCC does not currently provide a separate Spain-specific study permit checklist, visa office checklist, or local document instructions. Applicants from Spain 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 Spanish citizens. 2,615 study permits were issued in 2021, 2,750 in 2022, 2,210 in 2023, 1,970 in 2024, and 2,015 in 2025. An additional 250 study permits were recorded from January to June 2026.
These figures reflect the established presence of Spanish 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.
Spain to Canada Visitor Visa
Spanish citizens travelling to Canada with a valid Spanish passport generally do not need a Canadian visitor visa. When travelling to or transiting through Canada by air, they normally need an electronic travel authorization (eTA).
IRCC recorded 60 visitor visas associated with Spain in 2023, 40 in 2024, and 55 in 2025, followed by 10 from January to June 2026. These figures may include applicants residing in or applying from Spain who were not travelling on a visa-exempt Spanish passport.
Travel requirements depend on citizenship, passport type, and method of travel. Spanish citizens entering Canada by land or sea generally do not need an eTA, but they must carry a valid passport and meet Canada’s entry requirements.
