I hereby, would like to verify my purpose to invite my Fiancé Ms. Applicant's Name (born on DOB) to visit me in Canada for a little period of time starting on Jan 17, 2017 and ending on Jan 31, 2017. She will also be carrying medical insurance to cover her during her stay.
I am requesting to consider Ms. Applicant's Name application for a visitor’s visa for the following reasons:

She resides in a rental apartment at <Address in current residing country>. On completion of her work assignment she plans to go back to India where she will continue working with ABC Company. We are getting married on Date of Marriage in Location, India(Receipt for Venue booking is attached with the application). Families of both of us live in India and the family members are Indian Citizens.
Both of us went to India in Nov, 2016 to do Roka ceremony (a traditional Indian wedding ritual) with our close relatives and friends. The purpose of her visit is to meet my friends here and see some of the major tourist attractions in Toronto and do some shopping for the marriage. Also, we plan to apply for Applicant's PR via spousal sponsorship after our marriage. We are aware the process may take from 6-8 months and during this period Applicant will work her full time job with NTT data.
During her short stay in Canada, Applicant will live with me in my condo apartment, which I rent from Landlord's name (rental agreement is enclosed). I vow to provide lodging, board and to pay for all expenses incurred regarding Applicant's visit to Canada and I vow to be legally responsible for her.
I hold enough funds to bear all the expenses mentioned in this. I work as an <JOB> in Toronto. I am attaching the recent bank statements as supporting documents. I undertake to make sure that Applicant will not remain in Canada further than the period allowed for her stay and that she will return as stated by the conditions of her visitor’s visa.
