Sample letter of invitation for Canada
Due to covid-19 and never stopping variants most of us feel somewhat lonely and missing our families. I recently applied for my visitor visa for my parents and in-laws which was approved within a month. I will be sharing a sample letter of invitation for Canada immigration in this post.
