Instead of looking for fully refundable ticket, you could purchase non-refundable ticket that allows date change for a fee.
For example, if you purchase ticket through Air Canada, you could choose the Tango Plus class. This ticket is non-refundable, however you could change the date on the ticket by paying $75 (not sure of the amount) and the fare difference for the new travel date.

Phil: When you buy a ticket back to the "mother" country, eventually, will it be round trip or one-way?
I guess you know that one-ways are about 2/3 the cost of a round-trip ticket. So rather than buy two one-way tickets, one to Canada, on from Canada, it might be better to buy a round-trip in the first place, and pay the fee to change the return date.
If this advice is too late, I can't imagine why you can't buy a refundable one-way. Call Air Canada (for example); they dropped the $25 fee to deal with a live person. But in extremis, buy a round-trip; after all, you're going to cash it anyway.

I have bought my ticket to Canada already, but it is one way.
I am flying back with my partner, but the date is unsure at the moment.
I want to buy a refundable ticket to satisfy immigration that I will be leaving the country, but I intend to refund the ticket back to England and buy a ticket to England with my partner.
It doesn't need to be a good ticket as I won't be using it.
