Overview

Why the invitation letter matters

The signed letter explains the family relationship, the visit plan and the host's promise of financial support. It should agree with the forms, the insurance, the income documents and the applicant's own explanation. When these conflict, the officer notices.

Key information

Eligibility and application requirements

Eligibility, supporting evidence and practical considerations for this application.

Required host information

  • Full name, date of birth, Canadian address, phone and email.
  • Canadian citizenship, permanent residence, or registered Indian status.
  • Employment and financial-support information.
  • Signature of the host and any eligible co-signer.

Applicant and visit details

  • Applicant's full name and relationship to the host.
  • Purpose and expected duration of the visit.
  • Proposed travel dates and accommodation.
  • Who will pay for travel and living expenses.

Family size and income

The letter must identify everyone included in the host's family-size calculation — names and dates of birth — and be supported by evidence that the host meets the minimum necessary income.

Common mistakes

  • Generic promises with no specifics.
  • Missing family members from the size calculation.
  • Inconsistent dates across documents.
  • Unclear accommodation arrangements.
  • Unsupported income statements.
  • Language suggesting permanent relocation rather than a temporary visit.
