Hi everyone. I am planning on visiting Canada next year with some friends, to see another friend who has emigrated there with her husband. I am British and so know I can apply for an eTA. However, a single flight to Canada on the same airline my friends are taking is extortionate. So my question is - if I buy a return (much cheaper) and then don't take the return, will that set off some sort of alarm bells for my eTA?! I know technically I shouldn't buy a return and not to take it, but I am aware it's something people do.
I am intending to leave, just a few weeks later than my friends, after travelling a little around Canada, and heading to America, to see some family who live there because I might as well whilst I'm over there. Then will return to England probably a few weeks after that.
So...am I going to have a problem? Do I need to give authorities my flight itineraries when I apply to eTA or proof of flight bookings? And if so can I just give them the flight I intend to take from Canada to America as my 'leaving the country' flight and not mention the return I have no intention of taking?

On the contrary, it is advisable to buy return tickets.

You could be asked to prove you have return tickets + finances to support your visit. It depends on the immigration officer you meet at the port of entry
