"Send your letter (notarized, if the visa office asks for that) to the person you are inviting to Canada."Address it to the embassy.

No need. I applied 3 times (got approved a visa) and the invitation letter from my sister were never notarized."Send your letter (notarized, if the visa office asks for that) to the person you are inviting to Canada."
This is what that link states thats why I'm confused
No no, not notarized. My concern is who should the letter be addressed to since the website states to send the letter to the person you are inviting to Canada but most samples I saw are addressed to the visa officeNo need. I applied 3 times (got approved a visa) and the invitation letter from my sister were never notarized.
Send meaning... give the letter to the person you are inviting as the person needs it as a requirement. He/She will scan and upload it if he/she plans to apply online or attach the letter along with the application form if he/she choose to apply via paper.No no, not notarized.

Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciatedSend meaning... give the letter to the person you are inviting as the person needs it as a requirement.

But the letter needs to be addressed to the Embassy. As if you are saying to the visa officer that you are inviting the person... you will provide accommodation etc..
Hello who did you end up addressing the letter to.Hi there, fresh newbie here. glad I found this tread, almost two year after...as I cannot seem to find a difitive answer to the the same question, which is whom to address invitation letters to.
On CIC website below:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/supporting-documents.html#wb-auto-14
It states: "A copy of the letter from the family member inviting you to Canada. The letter must be written to you from your family member."
which sound to me a lot like "must be address to...", and it is a little bit different than @Cookiemonster1 concern which is over "send the letter to..."
or am I just overthinking this as most sample letters I found is addressed to the visa officer. Though I should mention I could find sample letters addressed to the person being invited as well, but then again the website containing the samples are not very clear about under what cricumstances should the letter be address to person being invited vs. visa officer.
Thanks in advance for your help!!
