Professional Notary Public
A Letter of Invitation is a powerful supporting document for anyone applying for a Canadian Temporary Resident Visa (TRV). It tells immigration officers that the visitor has a genuine place to stay and a host who vouches for them.
What IRCC Looks for in an Invitation Letter
To be effective, your letter must be detailed and professional. It should include your status in Canada, your relationship to the guest, and a clear plan for their stay and financial support.
Why Notarization Makes a Difference
While not strictly mandatory for all countries, a notarized letter is highly recommended by immigration consultants. It proves to the visa officer that you are who you say you are and that you take your commitment as a host seriously. It adds a layer of official verification that simple letters lack.
