IMM 5532: Relationship Information and Sponsorship Evaluation

IMM 5532 is the Relationship Information and Sponsorship Evaluation that a sponsor and their spouse or partner complete when applying under the family class in Canada. It is a dynamic PDF, so download it below and open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader to fill it in.

This is the genuine IRCC PDF, unmodified. Source: IRCC official page.

What is IMM 5532?

IMM 5532 collects the story of a relationship so IRCC can assess whether a spousal or common-law partner sponsorship is genuine. It walks through how the couple met, how the relationship developed, details of any wedding or ceremony, living arrangements, and the involvement of each family. Both the sponsor and the person being sponsored provide information, and the form forms a core part of the sponsorship package.

This is a dynamic XFA PDF published by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. It will not display or accept typing in an ordinary browser preview, and an online editor shows it blank. You must open the downloaded file in Adobe Acrobat Reader on a desktop or laptop to complete and validate it before it is submitted with the rest of the application.

Who files IMM 5532?

  • Canadian citizens or permanent residents sponsoring a spouse or common-law partner
  • The spouse or partner being sponsored, who completes their own portions
  • Couples applying under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class
  • Sponsors who have a previous sponsored spouse or partner and must give the required detail

Frequently asked questions

Why is IMM 5532 blank when I open it?

It is a dynamic Adobe LiveCycle form. Browsers and most previews cannot render it. Save the file, then open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer and it will display correctly.

Do both partners fill in this form?

Yes. The sponsor completes their part about the relationship and any earlier sponsorships, and the sponsored spouse or partner completes their own section. Both accounts should be consistent.
