Canada Visa Flight Itinerary Requirements
Canada's immigration authority (IRCC) requires a "travel itinerary" as part of the visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa) application. This applies whether you're visiting for tourism, business, or to see family.
A dummy ticket showing your planned flights to and from Canada is the standard way to provide this. IRCC does not require a purchased ticket.
What IRCC Looks For
- Planned dates of arrival and departure from Canada
- Evidence that you intend to leave Canada when your visit is over
- Consistency between your travel dates and other documents (invitation letter, accommodation proof)
Tips for Canada Visa from Bangladesh
Show Strong Ties to Bangladesh
Canada has a higher refusal rate for visitor visas from Bangladesh. A well-planned itinerary showing clear return travel helps demonstrate you intend to return home. Always include a return flight.
Reasonable Travel Duration
Don't plan an excessively long stay. For tourist visits, 2-4 weeks is typical. Longer stays require stronger justification.
Align with Invitation Letter
If a Canadian resident has invited you, ensure your flight dates match the dates mentioned in the invitation letter.
Common Routes to Canada
- Dhaka (DAC) to Toronto (YYZ) — most popular
- Dhaka (DAC) to Vancouver (YVR)
- Dhaka (DAC) to Montreal (YUL)
These routes typically connect through Middle Eastern hubs (Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi) or European hubs (Istanbul, London).
