"I originally used MyJet24 because I did not want to pay for a dummy ticket. That was the only reason. But what actually impressed me was how the PDF looked. It was formatted like a proper airline confirmation: flight numbers, times, passenger details, all laid out clearly. The Italian embassy in Hanoi accepted it without a word. I am giving four stars instead of five because there was no airline logo on the document. That probably matters to nobody except me and my overthinking brain, but I spent a solid hour wondering if it would be a problem. It was not."
A hotel booking confirmation is one of the supporting documents Canada embassies require alongside your flight reservation, financial proof and visa application form. The booking does not need to be paid — a held confirmation showing your full name, dates inside the visa-validity window, hotel address and a confirmation number is sufficient for visa-officer review.
What Canada Visa Officers Look For on Your Hotel Booking
The booking must contain: full passenger name matching your passport, hotel name and exact street address in Canada, check-in and check-out dates that align with your flight itinerary, total nights and a confirmation/reservation reference. MyJet24 produces this format directly from major booking-platform inventories — no fabricated details, no edited screenshots.

Each Canada embassy publishes its own list of required documents. Hotel bookings are universally accepted in held form (Booking.com cancellable rate, hotel-direct hold, MyJet24 PDF). You do NOT need to pay the hotel before submitting your visa application — most embassies explicitly recommend not paying until visa approval.
Canada Visa Hotel Booking — IRCC & eTA Address Rules 2026
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) operates two pathways: the Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) at canada.ca and the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). Both require "Address in Canada" — a hotel is the most common entry. CBSA officers at YYZ, YVR, YUL, YYC, and land ports run accommodation cross-checks against the declared address on Form IMM5257 (TRV) or the eTA portal. The 2026 CBSA Primary Inspection Kiosks (PIKs) at YYZ Terminal 1 and YVR International auto-flag mismatches between PNR data and declared accommodation.
| Canada Pathway | 2025 Refusal Rate | Hotel Required? | CBSA PIK Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| eTA (50+ visa-exempt) | ~3% | Address field mandatory | Auto-validate |
| TRV Single-Entry | 17.5% | Hotel PDF preferred | Officer spot-check |
| TRV Multiple-Entry (10y) | 14% | First trip hotel | Random |
| Super Visa (Parents) | 7% | Host invite preferred | Officer review |
Visa Application Centre (VAC) note: TRV applications go through VFS Canada centres. For Indian, Nigerian, Filipino, and Vietnamese applicants, the consular officer at the New Delhi, Lagos, Manila, and Hanoi VAC requires the hotel booking PDF to show full street address, postal code (Canadian format), and a confirmation number. MyJet24 PDFs for Canada use Marriott/Fairmont/Sheraton/Best Western properties in Toronto, Vancouver, Montréal, Calgary, and Ottawa.
Canada FIFA World Cup 2026 Hotel Pressure — Toronto & Vancouver
Canada hosts 13 of the 104 World Cup matches at BMO Field Toronto and BC Place Vancouver between 11 June and 7 July 2026. IRCC processing times for TRV applications from non-visa-exempt nationalities are running 16–22 weeks for Mumbai, Lagos, Manila, and Beijing applicants in mid-2026. CBSA at YYZ and YVR is verifying World Cup match dates against declared hotel bookings at primary inspection — applicants claiming football-tourism with hotels in a different host city face secondary referral.
