Invitation letter for parents has to be notarised if I am paying for everything

[can19cancan]

Hi all

I am sponsoring my parents for a visit to Canada.

I was told I must write a sworn declaration as an invitation letter. Is this is necessity or does it just add some value to the application?

You don't need a sworn declaration.

I am not sure, but I did this in my case - Get the invitation letter notarized. It will makes it more legitimate.

You dont need a sworn declaration; i applied for my mothers TRV couple on months back and my invitation letter was on a plan paper with my signature.

Dear ayam
Did you get approval on their visit visa?
Are they tied with job back home, or has assets?
I would like to apply for my mother and she is a housewife... which makes me wonder if they would approve

Yes my mother got visa approval. My mother is a window, and she is not working. She do receive government pension, have farm land on her name and all the crop is sold on her name. I mentioned about all this in her Purpose of Visit.
