invitation letter

[nikonian]

hello, i am planning to apply for a visit visa. my sister is a PR card holder of Canada. she has sent me a letter addressed to the immigration officer mentioning our relationship, purpose of visit, bank balance etc which I will submit along with my application. I have also prepared a cover letter from my side to the immigration officer. My question is, do I need another letter addressed to me by my sister inviting me to visit her? Or, the letter addressed to the immigration Officer from my sister suffficient?

You are planning to visit Canada as per the invitation of your sister. The invitation can be an e mail from her to you just inviting you being her beloved brother to visit her in Canada and spend some months with her. She could mention that you can stay with her and also she can mention some thing like shoulder  your other expenses and will arrange a medical insurance... bla..bla..bla

A print of that e mail to you would be sufficient. You don't need to make another invitation.

my sister has sent me a letter addressing to the immigration officer with her details and requesting to grant a visa for me which I will submit it along with the application. I am wondering if this letter would be called a invitation? Or, she should sent probably an e-mail to me mentioning  that I can  stay with her and also she  mentioning some thing like shoulder my other expenses and will arrange a medical insurance etc. Or, is it wrong to send a letter addressing to the immigration officer?
 thanks wilson for ur reply..............

This is he correct invitation. Should be addressed to you and not to the Visa Officer

is it wrong to send a letter addressing to the immigration officer?

No need to address to the Imm. officer

I don't know about this email stuff.... it says on the canadian immigration page that the person inviting must send the letter via regular mail from Canada or fax it from Canada and that the envelope should also be included in the trv application.... I am currently in south africa and would love to find out what is actually necessary as I would like to invite my friend to join me in Canada and don't know whether an email or letter with a photo copy of my passport and birth certificate is sufficient?

thanks

Excuse me! Where does it says in the CIC webpage that the person inviting must send the letter via regular mail or fax from Canada?

I don't think it's necessary to have your sister addressed the letter to the immigration officer. You are the one that's being invited and that's what they would want to look at. We sent the letter of invitation to my mother-in-law and father-in-law giving our personal information as well as theirs. We also got it notarized with the seal at the notary public before sending it to them and have it mailed separately to them to have the envelope with postage stamp sent to the immigration along with other papers and documents. The reasons they require this letter is to prove the relationship between the person applying for the super visa and the ones inviting them to Canada. Also, the immigration officers would like to see the clause stating that your sister solely takes responsible for all your needs and expenses while you stay in Canada. I am not sure about the email stuff too. For as long as you have that letter from your sister, even if it's addressed to the immigration officer, should still give you that chance of having the super visa. Keep praying and wish you all the best! Keep the faith drop the doubts! God bless!
