Marriage to a Togolese Citizen

Every country has its own laws that apply to its citizens marrying a person from a different country. Getting married to a Togolese citizen with the goal of eventually bringing them to Canada to live is a process with many steps.

If you want to bring your Togolese spouse or partner to live in Canada, you must then file a sponsorship application for them to become a permanent resident. If they would like to visit you in Canada while their application is in process, they must also apply for a visitor visa. For more information, please see our family sponsorship page and our visitor visa page.

 

Togolese Marriage Basic Requirements

To marry a citizen of Togo, you must demonstrate to the Togolese government that you are eligible to do so. This includes:

  • Proof of country of birth
  • Proof of single status
  • Proof of age requirement

 

Togolese Marriage Ceremony

The marriage ceremony to a Togolese citizen can legally take place in Togo, Canada, or any other country as long as both parties have the necessary visas to enter this country legally. This marriage can then be recognized when applying for a permanent residence or a visitor visa for your Togolese spouse. To learn more about ceremony customs, see below.

 

Family Members

If your Togolese spouse has dependent children, this does not affect the Togolese Marriage document application.

If you have dependent children, they have no effect on the application to marry a Togolese citizen.
