1. You should address the letter to the Visa Office where she's going to apply for the Visa.

Here is a sample letter I submitted for my aunt in the Philippines:

October 29, 2014
VISA OFFICER
Embassy of Canada in Manila
Levels 6-8, Tower 2
RCBC Plaza
6819 Ayala Avenue
Makati City 1200

Dear Visa Officer:

My name is____________ a Permanent Resident of Canada with client ID number ________ I live with my husband ________, a Canadian and my son ____________at ________________. I am currently here in the Philippines for a 4 week visit and will be going back to Canada on November 17, 2014.

I humbly ask that you accept this letter of invitation for my aunt, ____________, living at ____________________________________. She works at ________________. in Makati as an __________________________and her contact number is _________________

My aunt _________________who is now 62 years old, is the one who took care of me when I was little. She is the one who fixed my hair before going to school and prepared my lunch box. I owe a lot from her and she is one of the many reasons why I became what I am today. One of my dreams for her is to travel and enjoy the beauty of Canada while she can. I want to show her the amazing places in Alberta and share with her the things that I have now because of her. She would travel to Canada in spring or summer time as I know she cannot bear the cold winter in Alberta. I just want to apply for her visa now while I am here so I can help her fill up the forms and personally submit her application to VFS.

My husband and I will be taking full responsibility for all the expenses such as her airfare ticket to/from Canada, accommodation (she will be staying with us), travel within Canada, food and any other necessities for the duration of her stay with us. We are aware and respect the temporary resident visa status and we offer our personal guarantee that my aunt’s visit to Canada will not exceed six months from the time of her arrival. Please see attached support documents for this application.

You really have to demonstrate that you have the means to support your mom. I am not so sure if the bank statement from your country will count. I would suggest to wait a little bit for you to have job first and at least establish your life here in Canada.

You are welcome!

I modified it a bit as I am writing this for my girlfriend who lives in Manila. I am not expecting the letter to do much and I am not expecting her to even be granted a VISA, though she has a lot going for her. I am just so worried that because she's my girlfriend and because I'm admitting that in my letter, that she'll be automatically rejected, regardless because a VO will think she's coming here to get married. I just want to write in the letter, "Trust me officer, we cannot afford to get married in Canada, as weddings in the Philippines are far cheaper than they are in Canada." LOL.
