ARISTIDE AKE EPEY DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, 00000 aristideake3@gmail.com 29th March 2024 Consular and Visa Section Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) P.O. Box 818, Stratford, Ontario Dear Visa Officer, I am writing to apply for a tourist visitor visa to attend the Canadian Dairy XPO 2024 in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, from April 3, 2024, to April 4, 2024. I am a resident of Dubai, UAE, and I am an experienced professional in the field of foreign cooking. I have worked as a foreign cook for over 10 years, and I have a proven track record of success in my field. I am particularly interested in attending the Canadian Dairy XPO 2024 conference because I want to venture into the dairy business with my wife, who is currently back home. Dairy farming is a great opportunity for us to work for ourselves and invest in land and animals we have inherited. We believe that this business will be a good source of stable income for us and will provide opportunities for our local communities through jobs, support for local businesses, and contributions to the overall economy. I am a financially responsible individual with a strong record of employment and a stable home life. I have no criminal record, and I am not a threat to the security of Canada. I am confident that I will abide by the terms of my visa and return to my resident country at the end of my stay. I am eager to learn more about the dairy industry in Canada and to network with potential partners and suppliers. I am confident that the Canadian Dairy XPO 2024 will be a valuable learning experience for me. Thank you for your consideration of my application. Enclosed: ✓ A copy of my passport ✓ A copy of my conference registration confirmation ✓ A bank statement showing my financial means. ✓ A letter of employment from my current employer Sincerely, ARISTIDE AKE EPEY
