Yeah, you may be right, sorry. The .gc.ca page says "updated
2004-02-17" so it must be the same page that was in place when I
solicited the visa last year. However, the invitation letter was very
simple, didn't include any of the confidential information, and actually
it wasn't issued by a Canadian person at all! It was signed by the
EnterpriseDB guys.
