Will a flight reservation get my visa approved?

No one can promise that. The officer decides on the whole file: your ties at home, your money, your travel history and the purpose of your trip. A reservation only shows the dates and route you plan. If your last refusal was about something else, a reservation does not answer it, so read the officer’s reasons first.

Is this what people call a dummy ticket?

It is what many people search for under that name. It is a flight reservation: your route, dates and traveller names, on a flight the team chooses. It is not a paid ticket or a boarding pass, and you cannot fly on it. Never edit it yourself.

How long is the reservation valid?

Each airline decides how long it holds a reservation, so it varies. That's why we issue yours close to the date you submit your application. Tell us that date when you order.

Short answer

IRCC does not list a flight booking as a required document for a Canada visitor visa. IRCC’s visitor visa page gives flight details as one example of itinerary documents, alongside proof of accommodation and registration for an event.

A flight reservation is optional supporting evidence of a planned, temporary trip. It does not guarantee a visa.

Do you need one for Canada?

It can help when

You want your file to show exact dates and a route that match your leave letter, your invitation and your cover letter.
Your refusal questioned whether the visit was temporary, and you want a dated plan with a clear end beside the rest of your evidence.

You can skip it when

Your plan is already clear from other papers, such as an event registration, a dated invitation or a hotel booking.
Your refusal was about something a reservation does not address, such as your funds or your ties at home. Answer that first.

Whatever you choose

Use the same dates everywhere: the form, the cover letter, the leave letter and any invitation. Why dates that disagree hurt a file

Questions

Do I need a flight booking for a Canada visitor visa?
No. IRCC does not list a flight booking as a required document for a visitor visa, and a paid return ticket is not a condition in the regulations (IRPR section 179). IRCC’s visitor visa page gives flight details as one example of itinerary documents, alongside proof of accommodation and registration for an event. A flight reservation is optional evidence of a planned, temporary trip.
