A symmetric vector-coupling coefficient for the semisimple Lie group SUn is defined and explicitly determined. These coefficients are utilized to construct a series of canonical invariants for SUn, of which the first I2 is the familiar Casimir invariant, and it is proven that these invariants form a complete system of independent invariants suitable for uniquely labeling the irreducible inequivalent representations of SUn.
