Dear Visa Officer,
Re: Letter of invitation for my parents (Name)
This letter is to support the Temporary Resident Visa application for my father, Father's Name (born Feb
16, 1960), and my mother, Mother's Name (born June 8, 1963). They live at 100 Unknown St, Apt. 100, Philippines 400100 and their home phone number is 246-345-0000.
It has been one year since I have seen my parents and therefore I would like to invite them to spend
some time with me here in Canada. They intend to stay with me at my home for two weeks, from June
5 to 19, 20xx. Housing and food costs during their stay will be covered by me; they will cover all other
expenses for their trip (state if someone will sponsor them).
I am currently an international student at Centennial College in Toronto, Ontario or I have graduated at Centennial College last December 2022. I have attached a
copy of my passport, study permit and my confirmation of enrolment letter, (or PGWP Application if you applied for it already). My date of birth is Month-Date-Year. My address is 10 Unknown Ave, Apt. 10, Toronto, ON, Canada M2S 3D3. My phone number is
416-123-0000 and my email address is unknown@gmail.com.
Thank you in advance for consideration of my parents’ Temporary Resident Visa application.
Sincerely,
Your Name
