What happens if Air Canada cancels my flight?

Last summer, my Air Canada flight from Toronto to Vancouver got canceled just a few hours before departure due to unexpected weather issues. Honestly, I panicked at first — I had a connecting train ride planned the next day. But here’s exactly what happened and how I handled it step-by-step.


First, I got an email and text notification from Air Canada about the cancellation. It included a link to rebook, but that system was a bit slow since many passengers were doing the same thing. So I decided to contact Air Canada directly — and that was a lifesaver. The representative quickly checked available options and rebooked me on the next morning’s flight without any extra charge.


They also offered a hotel voucher since it was an overnight delay. My advice? Always act fast and keep your booking details ready. Air Canada usually gives you three main options: rebook on the next available flight, request a full refund, or get flight credits.
