What to have ready
An onward flight, bus or train out of the country is usually accepted — dated inside your permitted stay, with a booking reference the airline can verify · entry requirements (Gov. of Canada) ↗. Airlines carry the fines when a passenger is refused entry, so the strictest check usually happens at check-in, before you board.
Don't fabricate a booking — a fake or edited itinerary can be treated as document fraud. If you're travelling one-way, use a real, verifiable reservation.
