Dear Visa Officer,



Re: Letter of invitation for my parents (xxx xxx and xxx xxx)



April xx, xxxx,



I, xxx xxxxx, am writing this letter to invite my father, xxx xxxx (born May xx, 1968), and my mother, Jasvxr Kaur whose name is misspelled as “Jasvxxr Kaur” on my passport (born Nov xx, 1973), an affidavit is provided as a supporting document from her) to Canada to visit me on a tourist/visitor visa for 2023 in-person college convocation which is going to be hosted for students who were formally recognized with virtual convocations in June 2020 and 2021. Their personal details are as follows:



Address: House No. xxx, xxx xxx,

Ward No.x, xxxx, xxxx,

Xxx, xxx,xxx

Telephone: xxxxxx, xxxxxx



I am their Son, I have provided proof of this relationship in this application. I am now a Canadian Permanent Resident who received PR recently on March xx, 2023. I entered Canada as an international student on xx August, 2019 and recently completed my Two Year xxx xxxx program on xx April, 2021 at xxx College in Toronto. I would like to invite my parents to attend my convocation ceremony which will be hosted on June 2 – 4, 2023 in xxxxx Campus, xxxx, xxx, Toronto. They intend to stay with me at xx xxx St, Toronto, ON, MXT 1X5 for two weeks, from May 28 to June 10, 2023. Housing and food, entertainment, and other miscellaneous expenses during their stay will be covered by me; they will cover all other expenses for their trip.



My father is a retired truck driver who worked in UAE for past 15 years and now runs a small convenience store with help of my mother in India. I have not visited my parents for almost 4 years and we are really looking forward to spending some time together during this summer. I really wanted my parents to enjoy the special occasion of my college convocation ceremony in 2021 that they worked hard to help fund. But because of Covid I was not able to do so. Therefore, as college is conducting an in-person convocation again in 2023, I would like them to come and see how established my life is as a PR and hopefully a future Canadian citizen. I would also like them to visit where I went to school so that they can picture how my life would’ve been in Canada when I used to talk to them while they were in their home country.



My parents will have access to their joint savings account through their visa debit card to pay for any purchases/outings or trips they might want. In his application, my father has attached 6 months of bank statements with an available balance of $27914.23 CAD as proof of readily available funds in joint bank account for their spending in Canada. A CA report declaring the total net worth for both him and my mother including properties evaluation reports, both movable and immovable assets etc.



My name is xxxx xxxx, Single, full time xxx xxxx and a part-time xxx xxxx who lives at xxx xxx St, Toronto, ON, MXT 1X5. My date of birth is July xx, 1997. I have attached the proof of my income statement of the most recent tax year 2022 from CRA, pay stubs, bank statements to this application along with an employment letters confirming my salary as I have attached a copy of my passport, my PR card, confirmation of my graduation letter, guests invitation letter for college convocation too. Please be advised that college refused to mention the names of the family members I want to invite. Therefore I have personalized this letter to them. Guest tickets will be available to download in May.My phone number is xxx-xxx-xxx and my email address is xxxx@xxx.ca



I hereby declare that all information provided in this letter is hundred percent true. I am happy to get this letter notarized should there be such a request from IRCC.

Please find the copy of my Status Document: PR Card attached in this letter below.



Thank you in advance for consideration of my parents’ Temporary Resident Visa application.



Sincerely,

Xxxx xxxxx.

Dear Visa Officer,



Re: Letter for purpose of my travel (xxx xxx and xxxx xxxx)



April 24, 2023



I, “xxx xxxx”, am writing this letter to provide details about the purpose of my trip to Canada.



My wife, “Jarvxr Kaur” whose name is misspelled as “Jasvxxr Kaur” on my son’s passport, (an affidavit is provided as a supporting document from her) and I are planning to visit our son, “xxx xxx” in Toronto, at xxxxx St, ON, MXT 1X5 for two weeks, from May 28 to June 10, 2023. I am a retired truck driver who worked in UAE for the past 15 years. I resigned from my job in November, 2021 and returned back home to spend rest of my life happily and comfortably with my family at our house xxx, xxx xxx, Ward No. X, xxxxx, xxxx, xxxx, xxxx, xxx. We have been living there from quite a long time. Unfortunately none of our kids live with us now as my younger daughter too has moved to UAE in year 2021, with my elder daughter who both work in Dubai now. But as I am a kind of industrious person who can’t sit ideal, after a few months relaxing at home I started feeling bored and decided to run a small convenience store along with my wife in xxx, xxx. My wife and I have an equal partnership in this store.



I have not met my son for almost 4 years and we are really looking forward to spending some time together during this summer. He really wanted us to enjoy the special occasion of his college convocation ceremony in 2021 but because of Covid he was not able to invite us. Therefore, this time we have planned to take two weeks off to visit our son. There is no one who could help us to keep the store running while we’ll be away so it will remain closed during our visit.



As far as our parents are concerned, my parents are not alive but my mother in law and father in law are still alive. I myself have great affection towards a big family of 7 siblings. We all get together during special occasions and festivals. None of our family members or relatives are residing in Canada, with the exception being my son. My sister in law who works in UAE has a 9 year old son. Because of some financial reasons her husband too has to work in other province because he gets better work opportunities there. Thus there is no one to look after him other than his grandparents. So my wife has to occasionally visit them to make sure that her nephew is doing good.



During our two weeks stay, we plan to travel around and explore Toronto, visit Niagara falls, visit one of our son’s friend who lives in Kitchener and mostly spend time with our son at his place. He has bought a service called CityPass with which you get admission to Toronto’s five attractions which includes: CN Tower Plus your choice of admission to 4 of the following attractions: Casa Loma, Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto Zoo, Ontario Science Centre, City Cruises Toronto (available May 1). Although you can visit the attractions at your own pace, in any order, over a 9-day period. But we might have to complete all of them before the whole trip falls into our laps and we don’t get enough spare time left to spend with our son considering how short this trip is going to be.



As some of the attractions require timed and ticketed entry so our son has made reservations for them as they could quickly get fully booked in no time during summer. He has used it every time his friend visits him from Alberta. And he thinks that the service is amazing. There was so much over our son’s head if our trip would’ve been a bit longer. He believes CityPass service has so much to offer for every kind of person ranging from arts, sciences, history, & entertainment, and is suitable for every age group. According to him CityPass is something you definitely need when you come for the first time to the city.



I have provided the following documents in the application:



A business registration certificate under me and my wife’s name mentioning my wife as a partner , also mentioning me and her being only employees issued by Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (Government of India) registered under NIC Code 47, 4781, 47810 - Retail sale of food, beverages and tobacco products via stalls or markets; cashier’s receipt/ invoice for sellable products purchases clearly stating suppliers name, purchase date, description of the items with quantities and their prices is also attached. A notarized affidavits stating our business partnership is attached too.



Accountant evaluated report of our house and other property investments under my wife’s name with notarized affidavits stating my co-ownership in them. Notarized legal property ownership documents translated from regional language to English along with original ownership documents. Report of available balance of $27914.23 CAD as proof of readily available funds in our joint bank account for our spending in Canada, evaluation of gold ornaments/jewelry that we own, a two wheeler vehicle, an approximate net worth of CAD 100k.



6 months of bank statements from our joint bank account stamped by bank attached as a proof for confirming the declared available balance of $27914.23 CAD. A small Fixed deposit amount under my wife’s name and one another small savings amount under my name from othe financial institution. This amount includes me and my wife’s savings made over a 15 years period of me working as a full-time permanent Truck Driver remunerated with a salary of UAE Dhirams 30,000 ($11057.40 CAD) per annum & my retirement fund. Income tax return too is attached herewith for both of us for financial year 2021-2022.



All our International Travel History. My UAE residence cancellation letter confirming that I lived and worked there as a Truck Driver, visa stamps on all old passports. Visitor visa issued to my wife for her Dubai visit on 02-11-2021. Having been to UAE on a Work visa multiple times my past travels do not indicate overstaying or violation of the visa terms neither for me nor my wife. We only want to get this visitor visa to meet our son. We do not plan on working, or seeking work of any kind while on this visa.



I’d be more than happy to get this letter notarized and provide any further documents should there be a need.



Sincerely

“Xxxx xxxx”

Did you get your parents' visa approved using this letter? Did you add/remove on this letter?
Please suggest as i am in the same boat as you.

I don't think cover letter is needed. During the old days when there is no internet, and rely on post, do you write a cover letter addressed to people ?
