Follow these steps if you want to invite a family member from overseas to convocation: ·

  • Write a Letter of Invitation: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has a guide for you to follow. This is only a guide, you must write the invitation yourself and your letter must be written in English (In some cases, the letter may need to be notarized).
  • Request an optional Letter of Enrolment (if currently enrolled) OR Graduation letter (if program completed) from the Letter Request page of International Enrolment Services.
  • Send the letters to your invited person. The person requesting the Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), must include the invitation letter with their application to their local visa office.
