redline

Air Canada announced today that eligible customers who purchased a non-refundable ticket for travel on or after February 1, 2020 but did not fly can now obtain a refund from the carrier by submitting a request online or with their travel agent. The revised COVID-19 refund policy covers tickets and Air Canada Vacations packages purchased before April 13, 2021 for flights cancelled either by the airline or by the customer for any reason.

In addition to the expanded refund policy announced today, customers will continue to have the option of accepting a fully transferrable Air Canada Travel Voucher (ACTV) with no expiry date or converting the value of their ticket to Aeroplan points with a 65% bonus. Customers who have already accepted an ACTV or Aeroplan points will have the option to exchange these for a refund to the original form of payment, including for the unused portion of any ACTV issued or in cases where a partial refund was provided.

Full press release can be found here.

Documentary requirements

Air Canada would like to remind all travel agencies that as a sales agent of Air Canada, it is your responsibility to comply with tax and regulatory requirements when issuing a refund to customer.

Such requirements include, but are not limited to, the issuance of a credit note/refund receipt, which must be retained on file for at least 7 years and must be made available at the request of Air Canada.

Travel agencies may be assessed a service fee plus applicable taxes for missing or incorrect credit notes/refund receipts. In addition, Air Canada may issue a debit memo to the agency for the value of the taxes, fees and charges.

As an example, it is a requirement under GST(XG)/HST(RC)/QST(XQ) and ATSC (CA) legislations, that a credit note/refund receipt be issued to customer containing the following information:

  • A statement that the document is a credit note/refund receipt
  • Name of the Supplier
  • Date on which the credit note/refund receipt was issued
  • Tax registration number(s) of the supplier
  • Name of Customer
  • Breakdown of all taxes refunded with name and amount

For complete details, please refer to the Refundable Taxes – Reference guide.

  • Such customers will also have the option of accepting an Air Canada Travel Voucher (ACTV) or Aeroplan points with a 65% bonus. ​​​​​

For customers who make voluntary changes, refunds will be as per the fare rules of the ticket.
