Don’t you just wish you could invite people to visit your home in Canada? Well now, you have the chance to do so by writing an invitation letter. It’s a way for you to get your friends and family to enjoy all the sights and sounds of your country. But how exactly does it help them get here and what do you have to include in the letter?
This article will discuss four practical tips to guide you in your letter writing. Take this as an opportunity to reconnect with your loved ones as you take them around Canada. This way, you can make new memories together and gain relevant insights into the visa application process.
- Include all the essential information
Note all the following visitor applicant details that should be included in your letter:
- Full legal name
- Birthdate
- Current home address
- Telephone or mobile number
- Email address
- The main purpose for visiting the country
- Relationship with the person writing the letter
- Duration of stay, including the arrival and departure dates
You also need to include your personal information. Refer to the following:
- Your full legal name
- Your birthdate
- Current home address
- Telephone or mobile number
- Email address
- Your current citizenship status in Canada
- Your work details, including your spouse’s (if applicable)
- Names and birth dates of your significant other and all your children (if applicable)
- Total number of individuals residing in your home
You have to ensure all the details are correct, so you must coordinate with your invitee and your family members. Any discrepancies with your invitation letter may either land you in legal trouble or invalidate your visitor’s further visa applications. As such, write drafts and cross-reference all the details before sending.
- Explain why you want your invitee to come to Canada
Although the visa application process may seem serious and detail-oriented, your invitation letter should be emotionally compelling to the visa offices. Remember, these are real people reviewing the application, meaning they can be moved to get your friends and family to come to Canada if you include emotional motivations. However, you also have to keep in mind that the agency may have a quota for visa applications.
- Talk about the reasons why your invitee needs to return to their home country
Your loved ones will apply for a visitor’s visa. They are expected to leave the country after the set dates, meaning this application should not be considered as the easiest way to immigrate to Canada. That’s why the visa officers want to see some compelling reasons why your invitee needs to go back home.
For example, you can say you are just inviting your brother to Canada to reunite, but he has to return home after because he’s set to get married and run your family’s business. Just ensure your reasons are not fictitious to avoid being incriminated by the local authorities.
- Attach the appropriate supporting documents
Back up all the things you wrote in your invitation letter with supporting documents. For example, if you invited a close relative, you need to show you are related by submitting your birth certificates.
You may need to prove your citizenship status through income tax documents, letter of employment, and bank records. The visa officers may also want to be convinced that you and your visitor have enough financial resources for the duration of your invitee’s stay, meaning you need to attach bank statements. Just make sure every document you include with your letter is linked to bolstering your invitee’s visa application.
