May I ask if your father a Canadian Citizen?
My parents even bought one-way tickets from China to Canada too.
This rule ONLY applies if you are a Canadian Citizena and you are leaving for China. If you are a Canadian Citizena and you are leaving for Canada from China. it doesn't matter.
My family member works at Ottawa airport and we indeed see the people who were forbidden to get on board (a few times). Just give you an example here, there were a family of three (a mother, a father and a kid) who wanted to go back to China for Spring Festival last year. The father is a Chinese Citizen and has a business in China. The mother and the kid are Canadian Citizens. They all bought a ONE-WAY tickets. But, they were stopped by Air Canada stuff when they did check-in, because the mother and the kid need to show the round-way tickets. Why? They were told that they are Canadian Citizens and they are leaving for China. My husband was assinged to be a translator for them because they couldn't express themselves well in English. The result was they didn't catch the plane in the morning. Air Canada stuff told my husband that this is not their rule, but they do check it. I also khew some more cases happened on my friends.
Anyway, belive it or not!
Sigh, why people just don't believe it?
