Reuniting with family is one of the most important moments in life. Whether you are inviting parents for a short visit or applying for the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa, a professionally drafted and notarized Letter of Invitation is often the key to a successful application.
At Notary Lawyer Scarborough, we make the process simple. You don’t need to worry about correct wording or legal formalities—we handle the details so you can focus on welcoming your loved ones.
A Letter of Invitation is a formal document written by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. It confirms that you are inviting a specific person (a friend or family member) to visit you in Canada.
While an invitation letter does not guarantee a visa, it is heavily relied upon by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to assess the applicant’s purpose of visit and their financial support while in the country.
Yes, in many cases. Visa officers often require the letter to be notarized to prove that the host (you) is a real resident of Canada and that your signature is authentic. A simple signature at home may not carry the same weight as a Statutory Declaration signed before a Lawyer or Notary Public.
Standard Visitor Visa: Notarization is highly recommended to add credibility.
Super Visa: Notarization is mandatory.
If you have already written your letter, simply bring it to our Scarborough office. We will verify your identity and witness your signature.
Requirement: Do not sign the letter until you are in front of us.
