Ms.Brown(Canada) said:
I am currently unemployed and just meeting friends in China for a 2 week backpacking trip (no fixed places to stay at, will just be buying train tickets and hopping from city to city). Is it likely I will get a visa as a Canadian citizen or might they deny me because I don't know many details about the trip except for when I will arrive and depart? I also don't have any contact information for anyone in China.

Mrs.Amanda replied:
If you don't have fixed itinerary and fixed destination. I think it's impossible for you to apply for a visa.

Hello, We are going on a cruise which starts in Singapore December 2, 2009 and ends in Bangkok on January 3, 2010. The only time that we will be in China is for 12 hours in transit through Shanghai. Is a Tourist Visa required even if we do not get off the ship at the docks in Shanghai? Thank you for your help. Don.

Mr.Hugh replied:
I think you don't need a visa for your transit in Shanghai.

Mr.David replied:
Visas are not required of Canadian citizens who transit through Pudong Airport or Hongqiao Airport of Shanghai, provided they hold valid passports, visas for the onward countries, final destination tickets and have booked seats, and stay in Shanghai for less than 48 hours.

I am Vietnamese, holding Vietnamese passport. I'm currently working in Canada. me and my Chinese boyfriend are planning to go to China to have a wedding. Can I apply visa to China in Canada? and how?
Oct. 26,2009 22:08
Mr.Dick replied:
You can apply for a China visa from the China Embassy in Ottawa or China Cosulate in Calgary, Toronto or Vancouver.
Oct. 26,2009 23:34
Ms.Do(Canada) replied:
My travel agency told me that I can't apply in Canada unlness I have Canadian Permanent card or has to show marriage certificate (which we don't have yet. we will have when we go back to china together). My agency called the embassy and they said NO, can't. so I'm not too sure. I'm currently working in Canada under work permit and holding Vietnamese passport. so if your answer is YES, that means I can take it as guarantee? thanks
Oct. 27,2009 19:53
Mr.Aaron replied:
Ms.Do, if the embassy said NO, then you may not be able to apply for a visa in Canada, since the China Embassy in Ottawa hawe the final say to your visa application, while the comments here are just travellers' personal experience or ideas which can't be considered as any guarantee.

Does Ottawa visa office provide mail service for returning passport and visa if the applicant provide postage paid and self address envelop? I was trying to call but nobody answer your phone.

Chinese Embassy in Canada does not accept any straightforward application sent by mail or courier. Those who wish to apply for Chinese visa or document authentication by mail or courier need to send the applications to their clients or travel agencies in Ottawa, such as "Golden Mile 2000 Travel Consultant", who will submit the applications to the Embassy for processing on behalf of the applicants.
The address, phone and fax number of the Golden Mile 2000 Travel Consultant are as follows:

I seem to recall seeing restrictions (on the Chinese consulate website) on bringing data devices, including laptops, into China. Can we, as business travelers, bring laptops into the country?

I have brought my laptop to China many times without any suggestion of difficulty.
