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

You must write the invitation yourself, and it must be in English. The letter may need to be notarized depending on the requirements of the visa office your family member applies to. - You may wish to request Confirmation of Enrolment or Confirmation of Program Completion from the Registrar’s Office as additional documentation.
- Send the documents to your invited family member. They must include the invitation letter with their TRV application to their local visa office.
