Hi! I am presently enrolled at Brandon U here in Manitoba. I will be graduating in May. I have been applying online for my dad's visitor visa. I noticed that a letter of invitation is a must. Would a letter of invitation from me, a temporary resident, hold any water? Thanks in advance to any kind soul who can shed light on this predicament of mine. Cheers!

I think so. Refer to https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/letter-invitation.html
1.) It says there on the link that you need to specify the purpose of the trip. Your letter of invitation would confirm your father's purpose/reason why he needs to go to Canada.
2.) If you read on this forum, there's a lot of people inviting their family to their convocation. I think it is just the same thing. Just attach the letter of invitation from your school on your application as well. Include it on the Client Information part and mention it on your Letter of Explanation.
