Canada. This person can be a relative but they can also be a friend or even just a friend of a friend or
friend of the family. Though we should state the obvious here: it's better if you know the person
inviting you well, as it will look better to the officer deciding your case.
The person inviting you must have status in Canada but can be a citizen or permanent
resident.
You must instruct the person writing your invitation letter to include the below information. Then
they should send the letter to you so you can submit the letter with your temporary resident visa
