Directions to downtown location
To have documents prepared, notarized, notarial true copies of documents made, affidavits or declarations prepared or sworn, you should bring with you two pieces of personal identification, one of which should bear your photograph (for example, Ontario driver's licence or health insurance card, passport, or other identification).
If you wish to have documents notarized or notarial true copies of documents made, you should also bring the original documents.
Sometimes a person applying for a Temporary Resident Visa to visit Canada is asked to provide a letter of invitation from someone in Canada. The following information will help you prepare such a letter to send to a relative or friend abroad.
A letter of invitation does not guarantee that a visa will be issued. Visa officers assess the applicant to determine whether they meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
The following information is only a guide.
Your notarized letter should be sent to the person you are inviting to Canada. They must then submit the letter to the Canadian Embassy or Consulate outside of Canada when they apply for their Temporary Resident Visa.
YOUR LETTER MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ABOUT THE PERSON
BEING INVITED:
Complete name.
Date of birth.
The person’s address and telephone number.
Your relationship to the person being invited.
The purpose of the trip.
