The accommodation directory offers information and rates on approved accommodations in Canada, the United States of America (USA) and other countries. It allows government travellers to search the directories using various parameters. The car rental directory provides an alphabetical index of city listings in Canada and the USA.

Hotel Pass Program
In compliance with subsection 41(1) of the Official Languages Act, the Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) Hotel Pass Program supports Official Language Minority Communities (OLMC) in Canada.
The program is for staff and representatives of non-profit national and regional OLMC organizations who work to support and assist the development of these communities in areas such as:
- culture
- health
- economic development
- immigration
- communications
Note:
Staff refers to employees who are on these organizations’ payroll, and representatives are the people who sit on their board of directors.
While travelling for business in Canada, they can benefit from the preferential rates offered by the establishments listed in the Government of Canada Accommodation Directory.
