Notarized Invitation Letters – Brampton, Mississauga & Etobicoke

What is an Invitation Letter?

An Invitation Letter is a formal document written by a Canadian resident inviting a foreign national to visit Canada for a temporary stay. These letters are commonly used to support visitor visa applications, helping immigration authorities confirm the purpose of the visit and verify the identity and status of the host.

While a notarized letter may not always be mandatory, many Canadian embassies and visa offices recommend or require that the letter be signed in front of a Notary Public to establish its authenticity.
