not necessarily, most websites allow you to choose to have cancelation which of course you'll have to pay a little more but then it allows you to to cancel or change you're flight. this is the web portal we use to get tickets from: skyscanner.net

Is there any harm in ordering GCMS notes?
Hi rks,
there is no harm in requesting GCMS notes; just make sure you select to receive the electronic file. Only a Canadain citizen can do this request so you will have to send a consent to your spouse and request it on your behalf.

in Calgary since March 29, 2012. Landed as PR May 3, 2014
I booked flights on faregeek.com, hotwire.com, expedia.ca and priceline.com. I don't like skyscanner.com because they don't work together with all airlines. So you might miss a cheap flight.

You can buy a cancellation insurance which will pay if you don't receive the tourist visa. Check the fineprint of those insurances! They clearly state when they pay and when they don't pay. BTW, I used to be a travel agent ;-)

Yes he has to give you a consent, because it's his file. The form is on the link I gave you. I e-mailed it to my hubby, he signed it and sent a scanned copy back to me.

another option is " google flights" they've also created a good portal for the job. My husband comes every 3 months and gets his tickets using google flights. ( he's saying that it's much better than skyscanner :p

That insurance i told you is Visitotrs to Canada , and that cover you the medical has to be paid in Canada , i am a travel agent here in Canada and i know what CIC told us to do or this situations, and Foreign affairs service told us same ,
as for the airlines tickets just call the airlines and tell them just to reserve the space, and dotn tell them that is for the visa issue, they will give you time limit and automaticly the resrvations cancell if you dont purchase on that time .
dont book anything online , cuz you are not dealing with the person , and sometimes you can losse money it is so many junk web site , and dont trust them
Good luck
