Dear Madam or Sir:
My mother-in-law has accepted my invitation to visit my family here in Canada. In order to streamline the process, I am writing you directly to provide information in support of her visa application.
Here is the information about the person being invited.
Ø Name:
Ø Date of Birth:
Ø Address and Phone Number:
Ø Relationship to the Inviter:
Ø Purpose of the Trip: A personal family visit.
Ø Duration of the Trip: 1st July 2009 to 1st November 2009, 4 months.
Ø Financial Arrangement: Since my mother-in-law will be staying with us, she does not need to worry about accommodation or living expenses. Also, since she will be sightseeing with us in our own car, she does not need to worry about travel costs. This is all she needs: $2000 round-trip airfare, $1000 for traveler's insurance, and perhaps $1000 for souvenir shopping. These amount to RMB 24,000.
Here is the information about myself, the inviter.
Yours sincerely

I'm afraid I inserted myself into Osee's letter problem on another thread. (Disclaimer: I did say at the time that I knew nothing about the visa application process in Canada.) I have visited the website that explains this, and it still seems a bit strange of the Canadian government to require that Osee write a letter to his mother-in-law listing her date of birth, giving details of how she will

OK. I am considering going back to the invitation letter. But I really do not know how to deal with those information like birth date. I will be back on this soon.

Hi,
Just write in your letter to your mother-in-law,
"Now, here are some details that I am including because the Govt. of Canada requires them to be in this letter."

What a brilliant solution, Clive. So much better than having to come up with something like, "While you are visiting us, Mom, I hope you will often leave our modestly furnished guest room, located on the south-west corner of our house at 1313 Mockingbird Land, to enjoy a meal costing about seven Canadian dollars and tell us anecdotes about life in China during the mid-twentieth century. Since you

Hi Del,
You obviously haven't eaten a meal in Canada for a while.

Goodness, would the groceries to serve my mother-in-law dinner cost more than that? Obviously I'm not giving her filet mignon. Certainly not by month three of that four-month visit
