If you are in Canada on a valid status, you can prepare a letter of invitation inviting your family member, relative or friend on a visitor visa.
This letter of invitation will be required by the visitor visa applicant outside Canada.
However, an invitation letter does not guarantee you will receive the visa.
Even with the invitation letter, the visa officer will evaluate your application to decide if you meet all the requirements.
This article will help you understand the letter of invitation requirements and the information you should include about the person you are inviting and yourself.
Information to include “about the person” you invite in the invitation letter
Writing an invitation letter does not imply that you are legally responsible for the visitor once they arrive in Canada.
Still, you should write the letter in good faith. You must tell the truth and intend to follow through on the promises you make in the letter.
Send your letter (notarized if the visa office requests it) to the person you invite to Canada.
When applying for a temporary resident visa outside of Canada, the person must submit this letter to the Canadian embassy or consulate.
You must include the following information about the person to whom you are inviting:
The person’s complete name (as mentioned on the passport)
DOB-date of birth
Contact number and address
your relationship with the person
Purpose of the trip
Person’s duration of stay in Canada
The place where the person will be staying and how they will pay for things, and
