Sponsoring a Russian Friend to visit Canada

[Scottyb1970]

Hello everyone,
I stumbled across this site while trying to learn how to invite a friend to visit me here in Canada. My friend currently lives in Russia and is a Russian citizen.
I have learned a lot from the internet but was wondering if anyone has been through the same thing and is willing to guide me along with the correct information?
Thank you
Scott

Hi

You would not be sponsoring your friend. You can write an invitation letter and that's about it. The rest depends on your friend and what s/he can show for finances and proof of ties to Russia.
