1. You can check the suggested list of documents + Visa Office instructions for your country here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/visa.asp

2. No, you cannot submit documents translated by yourself. Documents must be translated into English/French by a certified translator

3. You can include provisional bookings. It is not advisable to make confirmed bookings before getting a visa
