It is a simple letter written to invite a person living outside of Canada to visit Canada either for vacations for a certain event. However, it is important to note that a letter of invitation in no way guarantees the issuance of a visa. For a visa to be issued the person applying has to meet the criteria under the Canadian immigration law.
While there is no specific length prescribed by the CIC for the letter, however it is best to keep the letter short and to the point while including all that is asked. Usually the letter is written in a first person perspective and includes present and future tenses.
The introduction of the letter should describe who the letter is written by and for what purpose along with who it is being written for. Furthermore the writer can establish his own personal information in the introduction followed by the information of the visitor.
It is important for the writer to establish the relationship he shares with the visitor and provide any past reference for it.
After the introduction of each party has been established, the body paragraphs should include all other information required by CIC, such as the purpose of the visit, the duration, financial capacity etc.
If the writer is promising anything in the letter it should be written clearly and precisely in the body of the letter. If the visitor is being invited on a certain event then provide information for that event as well including the date, time and venue.
Lastly, there should be a conclusion to the letter that would tie the complete letter together. It should include a final salutation followed by a signature of the writer. If any document is attached it should be mentioned at the end of the letter.
