Air Canada Boarding Pass Printing Guide
Air Canada provides web check-in for most travelers, enabling them to check in and print boarding passes without interacting with a counter agent. Web check-in opens 24 hours before departure and closes 30 minutes before departure for domestic flights, or one hour before departure for U.S. and international flights. Paper or electronic tickets work for web check-in on all Canadian flights and many international flights, but only electronic tickets are accepted for U.S.-bound flights. Alternatively, self-service kiosks at the airport allow check-in and boarding pass printing within 12 hours of departure.

Print your boarding pass with Air Canada.
Air Canada, the largest full-service airline in Canada, now provides web check-in for most passengers. This option lets travelers check in and print their own boarding passes, bypassing the need to see an agent at an Air Canada counter. Web check-in can be used starting 24 hours before departure until 30 minutes before departure for flights within Canada, or until one hour before departure for flights to the U.S. or international destinations. It is available with paper or electronic tickets for all Canadian flights and many international flights, but for flights to the U.S., only electronic tickets can be used for web check-in.
