Hi all, we are in the process of writing an invitation letter to aid in a Canadian visitor visa application. My sister-in-law is applying from Pakistan through a lawyer and my wife (Canadian Citizen) is writing the letter. A few questions I had please:
1) Both my wife and I are Canadian citizens, so should both of us be addressing the letter or it only should be coming from my wife (as she has the direct relationship to her sister)?
2) I've had some people tell me that I should write a letter that is long and shows a lot of intent on why the visa should be granted, however A LOT of sample letters and even examples on this site are nice and to the point, with maybe just one paragraph or a couple of lines indicating why we are supporting the letter, what's the recommendation?
3) Lastly, if my sister in law is the one applying for the visa and we've also indicated that they'll be responsible for their own expenses, do we need to provide any bank statements/T4s/letter of employments?
Thanks!
