Hi there,

I posted on another board, not sure if it was the correct place or not.

Does anyone know if the required info (listed below) is missing from the invite letter, will it still be considered sufficient for the application? Someone I know wrote it on behalf of a person living here in Canada. can this be reported as fraud?

You must include this information about the person you are inviting:

• complete name,
• date of birth,
• address and telephone number,
• your relationship to the person,
• the purpose of the trip,
• how long the person plans to stay in Canada,
• where the person will stay, and how he or she will pay for things, and
• when the person plans to leave Canada.

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).

Is this a serious question?

The material you quote is couched in imperative language. The invitation letter must include.... In that case, it seems kinda' silly to ask, about the letter "will it still be considered sufficient?". Do you expect anyone here to tell you "Sure, go ahead, feel free to ignore the mandatory requirements, all will be well.

As for the "fraud" notion, how could sending a letter that's simply deficient - lacking the required information - possibly be considered as fraud?

People come here asking for information discreetly at times because they are afraid it might cause them more family problems. Not necessarily to get into arguments or to be ridiculed like this.
thank you so much for your reply, but it would be nicer to remain silent than reply so rudely.

The two posts are completely irrelevant, in fact, years apart.

Nothing rude about it. Not in the least. You have to expect people to comment on the obvious and the unusual. Your two most recent posts refer to "friends" whom you seem keen to report as fraudsters. Not the usual grist for this forum.

Before your recent edit, you asked:

"Does anyone know if the required info (listed below) is missing from the invite letter, will it still be considered sufficient for the application? Someone I know wrote it on behalf of a person living here in Canada. can this be reported as fraud?"

Now you say, and ask:

Those matters are really quite different. Your original question, about whether an invitation letter with missing information will be deemed sufficient, would seem to yield the simple answer: "No, it's missing information the IRCC instructions say is specifically required, so you can fully expect the IRCC to regard it as insufficient."

As for your recent question: "does an invitation letter hold value in a visit visa application?". That question makes some sense and the answer I would give is that a properly constructed invitation letter will be of value in some cases. But, I would say it won't help much if the application is otherwise deficient. By that I mean that if the applicant is unable to show the usual things, such has having sufficient cash of their own to fund the visit, a solid travel history to countries such as the U.S., the U.K., etc., a solid employment record, ownership of assets and so on, then a brilliant invitation letter is unlikely to carry the day.
