Letter of Invitation - T4

[stnd]

Hi,

I sent a letter of invitation to my friend in Serbia and when submitting she was told she needed my T4. Does anyone here know if different offices can ask for additional information than what is listed on the official website? If I have to I will send it off, but I want to make sure she is not being asked to provide what is not required.

You must include this information about yourself:

complete name,
date of birth,
address and telephone number in Canada,
job title,
whether you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident,
a photocopy of a document proving your status in Canada, such as
a Canadian birth certificate, if you were born in Canada,
a Canadian citizenship card, if you are a naturalized citizen, or
a copy of your PR card or your IMM 1000 proof of landing, if you are a permanent resident,
details of your family, such as names and dates of birth of your spouse and dependants (this is mandatory for the parent and grandparent super visa), and
the total number of people living in your household, including people you sponsored whose sponsorship is still in effect (this is mandatory for the parent and grandparent super visa).

Yes, they can. It's even written in the TRV document checklist IMM5484:

Any additional documents required by the responsible visa office.


Besides, accompanying an invitation letter with your Employment Verification Letter, NOA/T4, recent Pay Stubs and/or Bank Statements will always make the case stronger.
