What IRCC lists as itinerary evidence
Canada’s visitor-visa guidance describes documents that can show how long you plan to stay and what you will do in Canada, with examples including flight details and proof of accommodation. Applicants should provide documents relevant to their own situation and current application instructions.
Temporary reservation vs final ticket
A temporary flight reservation can document proposed travel without representing that a final paid ticket has been issued. If you use one, the dates and route should reflect your genuine planned trip and remain consistent with accommodation and purpose-of-travel evidence.
Accommodation and travel plan
Where you include hotel or other accommodation evidence, make sure the dates align with the proposed arrival, stay and departure. See our proof of accommodation guide.
