Hotel booking for a Canada visitor visa
A Canadian visitor visa application asks for your travel plan, including where you will stay. CloseHotel helps you present that plan as a clear accommodation itinerary.
What your accommodation details should show
- Property name and address for each city on the trip
- Arrival and departure dates for every stay
- Guest names as written in the passport
- A single PDF you can upload with your application
IRCC looks at whether your plan is coherent and affordable. Accommodation details are one part of that picture, alongside your travel dates and funds.
Create your itinerary in three steps
- Search your destination city and enter your travel dates.
- Pick a property and room style from real listings.
- Add traveler names and download a print-ready A4 PDF.

Questions travelers ask
Is a hotel booking mandatory for a Canada visitor visa?+
A paid booking is not mandatory. A clear statement of your intended accommodation supports the travel plan you submit.
Can I use this if I am staying with family?+
If you are staying with a host, an invitation letter is the relevant document. Use an accommodation itinerary for the nights you plan to spend in a hotel.
Does CloseHotel book the room?+
No. CloseHotel creates a planning document only. It is not issued by the property and does not reserve anything.
