Taiwan to Canada Spousal Sponsorship
Applicants from Taiwan do not have additional Taiwan-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 1,325 Taiwanese citizens were admitted to Canada as sponsored spouses or partners from 2023 through May 2026. This included 375 admissions in 2023, 440 in 2024, 325 in 2025 and 185 from January to May 2026.
Taiwan to Canada Study Permit
Applicants applying for a Canada study permit from Taiwan must follow the Manila visa office instructions for local document requirements. These instructions are listed in the Manila Visa Office Additional Document Checklist — IMM 5836, which is used together with the standard Canada study permit checklist.
For Taiwan applicants, IMM 5836 focuses on passport and residence-status documents, a personal study plan, current and past education records, and financial documents showing how the studies will be funded.
Required Forms
Taiwan study permit applicants must follow the Manila Visa Office Additional Document Checklist for study permits.
Country-specific checklist:
IMM 5836 is used alongside the standard study permit checklist. It does not replace the general study permit requirements.
Applicants should also provide the passport documents required under IMM 5836. Applicants who do not live in their country of citizenship should include proof of their legal status in their current country of residence.
Study Plan and Records
Taiwan study permit applicants should provide a personal study plan explaining how the proposed program relates to their academic, technical or vocational background and future career goals.
Applicants should also include an official fee schedule showing:
- tuition fees;
- accommodation and meal-plan costs; and
- miscellaneous expenses, such as medical insurance, books and memberships.
The application should also include evidence of the applicant’s current and previous education, such as:
- copies of diplomas and certificates;
- proof of ongoing enrolment, where applicable;
- post-secondary transcripts; and
- any other current academic transcripts.
Financial Evidence
Taiwan study permit applicants should provide detailed evidence showing how their studies will be funded.
Applicants may provide financial documents belonging to themselves, their spouse or their parents, including:
- bank records covering the previous six months, such as bank books and statements;
- fixed-deposit records;
- income tax documents;
- employment reference letters confirming earnings; and
- evidence of self-employment or business income.
When another person is helping to fund the applicant’s studies, the application should include:
- a letter explaining why the person is providing financial support;
- proof of the relationship, where applicable;
- the supporter’s bank records covering the previous six months or evidence of fixed deposits;
- the supporter’s income tax documents; and
- employment reference letters or evidence of self-employment or business income.
Applicants who have received a scholarship, financial assistance or an award from an educational institution, government or other funding agency should provide an official letter confirming the full amount of the funding, its duration and any applicable conditions.
Applicants who have already paid part of their tuition fees should also include proof of payment.
Taiwan to Canada Visitor Visa
IRCC does not provide a separate document checklist for Canadian visitor visa applicants from Taiwan. Applicants should therefore follow the standard IRCC visitor visa requirements and submit the supporting documents requested through their online application.
IRCC recorded 180 visitor visas for Taiwan in 2023, 115 in 2024, and 190 in 2025, followed by 40 from January to June 2026.
A Canadian visitor visa can allow eligible Taiwanese 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.
