The application fee is CAD 100 per person. Processing times vary by location but typically run 20 to 40 business days from Beijing or Shanghai.

You will need a completed application form, digital photo, passport valid for the duration of your stay, proof of funds, travel itinerary, and ties to China (employment letter, property ownership, family). Bank statements covering the last 4 months are expected. Biometrics collection at a VAC is mandatory and costs an additional CAD 85.
