Hello,

I and my husband are permanent residents of Canada. I want to invite my sister (26 years old un married) over for a few weeks just for fun and spend time with her before she gets married.

I have a couple of questions:
- Should I apply for her for Tourist Visa or Temporary Resident Visa?
- Do I need invitation letter for tourist visa? Do I need to get invitation letter notarized?
- Do I need to show funds (mine and spouse's combined?) What is the limit? I cant find the information anywhere?
- How many funds does she have to show? Currently we were planning $24000 (CAD) for the whole trip
- She is a government employee back home. Parents are also there. - Are these ties enough to show? What else would you suggest?
- Should she have any itinerary for her travel in application ? If yes, why would we book tickets before getting visa.

Looking forward to your replies.

- Kuma
