If you’re planning to invite someone to Canada, whether for a visit, a family reunion, or a special event, crafting an effective invitation letter is crucial. This article will provide a thorough overview of Canadian invitation letter, including their purpose, key components, and tips for ensuring your letter meets immigration requirements.
What is a Canadian Invitation Letter?
A Canadian invitation letter is a formal document sent by a Canadian resident to someone who wishes to visit Canada. It serves as a support document for the visitor’s visa application. It demonstrates that the visitor or foreign national has a legitimate reason to come to Canada and has an adequate support during their stay in Canada.

Writing a letter of invitation does not mean that you are legally responsible for the visitor once they arrive in Canada. You should still write the letter in good faith. You must tell the truth and how you plan to keep the promises you make in the letter. Send your letter to the person you are inviting to Canada. The person must then include this letter with their application for visitor visa to the IRCC.
You should include this information about the person you are inviting:
- complete name
- date of birth
- address and telephone number
- your relationship to the person
