Visa & Entry

Chinese passport holders need a visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa) to enter Canada. Apply online through the IRCC portal or at a Canada Visa Application Centre (VAC) in China. 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.

Canada issues single-entry and multiple-entry visas. Most applicants now receive a multiple-entry visa valid for up to 10 years, tied to passport expiry. Each stay is limited to 6 months.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
