Good to know
- IRCC does not require a notarized letter, but a signed letter with copies of your status document and proof of income helps.
- An invitation letter does not guarantee a visa. The officer must still be satisfied the guest will leave Canada at the end of the visit.
- Super visa: the guest needs private medical insurance from a Canadian insurer (or an approved foreign one), at least $100,000 coverage, valid at least 1 year from entry, paid or with a payment plan, plus your proof of income such as your latest CRA Notice of Assessment.
