Canadian visa

apply for a visa

Canadian visas can be divided into two basic types: tourist visas and immigrant visas.

"Visit" includes travel, study abroad, business, performance or employment in Canada. Visa can be divided into multiple entry, multiple entry or transit. In China, you can only apply for a visa at the Canadian Embassy in Beijing, but the consulates in Shanghai and Guangzhou do not accept visa applications.

Apply for a visa:

There is a handling fee for applying for a visa. If the visa is refused, the money will not be refunded. You can pay RMB or Canadian dollars in cash at the time of application, or remit the exact amount to the Immigration Bureau of the Canadian Consulate by postal remittance. Don't send cash directly by entrainment. Please clearly indicate your name (Chinese characters and pinyin) and date of birth on the draft, and then attach a clear draft receipt with the application form. Applications that do not explicitly indicate payment will be returned.

Materials required for visa;

1. Application Form

All applications for visiting visas must fill in the application form provided by the Canadian Consulate in Beijing. According to the purpose of going to Canada, the application form has three formats: visiting status, studying abroad status and working status. Therefore, when you receive the form from the Canadian consulate, you should indicate your purpose of going to Canada to obtain the corresponding form. Applicants also need to fill in family composition information and detailed information about education and employment. Application forms with different identities have extra application materials that they specifically request. Providing this information accurately, completely and quickly will greatly benefit the rapid processing of your application.

2. Invitation letter

If you want to take part in a business delegation, you need an invitation letter from a Canadian company. The invitation letter must specify the name of the invitee, the purpose of the visit, the visit time and the general activity plan. If possible, a copy of the contract or agreement should also be issued. If the Canadian side bears the cost of the visit, it must be indicated in the letter. If the applicant holds a diplomatic or official passport, each delegation must have an official certificate issued by the diplomatic or foreign trade department of the corresponding country. If the applicant holds a personal passport, he/she needs a letter from his/her work unit to prove the purpose of his/her visit. If the Chinese side bears the cost of the visit, in addition to the above certificates, visitors for business purposes must also produce certificates that prove that they are qualified to invest or conduct business activities in Canada. All letters must be accompanied by English or French translation, otherwise the application will be returned. This kind of tourist visa is usually processed within 5 working days.

People who have the opportunity to work in Canada for a short time must fill out an application form for work status. The so-called "work" also includes postdoctoral researchers who are engaged in research or have economic remuneration. If you are a research scholar sponsored by a China institution, you also need a job status. In addition, people who work in the food industry or health industry, or who have worked in Canada for more than 6 months, need to have a physical examination. The laws and regulations concerning artists performing in Canada are very complicated. Whether you need a job or not depends on the nature, duration and business activities around the job. Applicants in this category should check with the Canadian Embassy to determine whether work status is required. In order to apply for job status, you must provide the original and photocopy of the invitation letter from Canada, stating the working hours, job type and total remuneration or salary. At the same time, you need a certificate of consent issued by your company, indicating the length of time you are allowed to leave, and ensuring that you can continue to work after you come back.

This letter must be written on an official letter stamped with the official seal and printed with the name and address of the unit, and signed by the person in charge of the personnel department.

If you don't get the fee from the Canadian employer, you should also have a letter of guarantee issued by the corresponding China institution, indicating the working period and the total fee. It may take three to six months to apply for a job status, sometimes even longer. When the consulate receives the application, it will create a file for you and inform you of the file number within a few weeks. You must take good care of this number, because you must use it every time you contact the consulate to apply for a visa. When supplementing the application materials, you should also clearly indicate your file number. This will save you and the consulate a lot of trouble.

The consulate never accepts unauthorized calls and requests from the parties. Generally, you can only contact the consulate in writing.
