Inviting Your Family to Visit

Invitation Letter

Immigration Canada requires the individual issuing the invitation (i.e. you) to write the letter; McGill cannot write this letter on your behalf.

  1. If you are inviting your family to visit you, you can write them a letter of invitation to accompany their Temporary Resident Visa (i.e. Entry Visa) application.
  2. The Government of Canada has defined specifications about what to include in the letter of invitation. We advise you to follow them while drafting your letter. 
  3. You can check out our Sample Invitation Letter for reference.
  4. In addition to the information required by Immigration Canada, you can also include:
    1. a copy of your Study Permit, as well as,
    2. any other evidence that you are a student at McGill (e.g. copy of student card, proof of enrolment from Minerva).

In addition to the information above, please also review ISS' FAQs page.
