The ideal person to provide your Letter of Invitation depends on the reason for your visit to Canada: The invitation letter should be written by a Permanent resident or Canadian citizen and can be issued for a parent and/or grandparent. Information that should be included in the letter? - Essential details about both the visa applicant and the inviter. - A photocopy of a document proving their status in Canada (e.g., Canadian birth certificate, Canadian citizenship card, or proof of permanent residency). - An explanation of the purpose for the trip to Canada. - Details of the planned duration of stay in Canada. - Accommodation details (where they will stay). - How they will cover expenses during their stay. - Planned departure date from Canada.
For the parent and grandparent super visa, you must also include: - Financial support: A written and signed promise of financial support for the visiting parents or grandparents during their entire stay in Canada. - Income: Proof that your income meets or exceeds the low-income cut-off (LICO) for the total number of people in your household, including the visiting parents or grandparents.
Recommended additions: - Asset Information : Proof of real estate ownership.Provide the deed and certified valuation of the property. - Financial Status : Bank statement, pension, fixed deposit account, etc. - Employment : Proof of any form of employment. - Family : Letters from family members stating why the applicant will be needed to return home.- - Religious Ties : If the applicant is a member of any religious organisation then provide a letter or proof from the church, temple, mosque, etc. - Support Letters : A letter from your Member of Parliament will assist. - Other : Any other documents, facts or pictures (not necessary) to prove strong ties back home.
Additional Considerations - Note that merely writing a letter of invitation does not make the inviter legally responsible for the visitor once they arrive in Canada. - The letter should be written in good faith, with truthful information. - The letter should be notarized in front of a notary. - The visitor must submit this letter along with their visa application to the Canadian embassy or consulate outside of Canada.
