Airfare blocked and hotel reservation
- Thread starter Ekatuazon
- Start date
Although I have no insider information would think it very unlikely unless someone is pulled into a secondary inspection at the border and further detailed investigation about the visitors intentions are required to decide whether to permit entry for example.
Keep in mind that CBSA have pretty extensive powers at the border and can if they wish even look at all electronic devices, phones, laptops etc.. So checking bookings or who someone says they are staying with whilst unusual or the exception is something they could do if they wanted.
Having said that never advisable to either lie , mislead or present any dubious documents ,including flight or hotel bookings to a CBSA officer or to IRCC.

As khp already said, don’t buy flights and hotel bookings until you have the visa. It’s good advice. Not sure why you’re still trying to force the issue, but it’s your application and your money.
The implication is that paid flights and lodging do not guarantee approval, and thus add no value to a visa application, at least for a Canadian TRV. It may be required for other countries, but not here.
It’s certainly possible for the visa officer to check if they want to—all that’s required is usually a booking reference and passenger’s surname online—but again, this is not a hard requirement for approval.
It’s more advisable to use a mock or planned reservation or itinerary if you really want to include one.

You mean the flight booking only hold for 12hrs without payment and it will not enough time for you to submit Canada visitor visa ?
