Hello,
Thanks for this forum. I'll be in China during two first weeks of August, 2009. There is a rumor circulating around and I'd like to verify if it's true. All passengers from America (from Canada in my case)have to be on medical control for a week after arrival. You should provide your temperature data each day and you are not allowed to visit public places. It's a kind of quarantine because of the flu. Please advise.

Hello!
I will be visiting china in july - i am going to apply soon for a double entry visa so that by the time I get to china my visa will still be valid (double entry will give me 6 months validity).
I would like to do a tour that goes thru Shanghai and Hong Kong. Do I need visas to enter? I believe I will be entering overland (not flying) and I am Canadian.
Thank-you.
Jun. 30,2009 20:50
Mr.Spring replied:
The validity of a double-entry visa is 3 months not 6 months. You'd better apply foe the visa one month ahead of your departure date.
You need visa to Shanghai, but you are free of visa to HK for less than 90 days.

Hi, my daughter is only 4 years old, canadian citizen and she visited Philippines May 2009 with my mom. But my mom don't want to go back for now in Canada because of some business matters she needs to do, i need my sister to accompany my daughter before September school start here. My sister got denied first time she attempted to apply as tourist, should we re-apply and say that she really needs to accompany my daughter back here in canada? is there any best advice that we need to do because i am scared that no one can bring my daughter back here in Canada. Can you send me a sample of letter so that Canadian immigration will be satisfied that my sister will accompany my daughter back. Do you have any idea how much show money she needs to provide? I included ticket Itenirary for 3 months and even travel insurance but she was denied. Should i change her ticket to 2 weeks only? Please help me what to do. Thanks.

Mr.Jessica replied:
Mrs Clarissa, you are not concerned with Chinese visa? You should visit the official site of Canadian Embassy in Philippines. Read this page, hopefully it is helpful for you:

Ms.Knote(Canada) said:
Hi, I have a question for obtaining a work (Z) visa. I am a German citizen residing in Canda, so I would like to apply for my visa at the embassy in Ottawa. I plan to work in China for one year, starting September 2009. The embassy website states:
Z-Visa is valid for 3 months for a single entry with no specified duration of stay. One is obliged to apply for residence permit at the local public security bureau within a month after entering China.
Does that mean that I can undergo the required medical exam after arriving in China, when I apply for extending my stay? If not, could you please let me know how to obtain a medical check (I live in Montreal), is there a list of certified physicians or can I go to any family doctor? What is the fastest way to do this? Do I need to get a visa for 12 months or can I follow the procedure described above - to get a single entry visa for three months and then extend my stay?
Thank you very much.

Ms.Maggie(Canada) replied:
NO, you have to provide the physical examination certificate for foreigners when applying the visa.You can call the visa office of the Chinese embassy in Canada to enquire about the authorized
hospitals by the phone number 1-613-7893434 between 09:00 and 13:00 from Monday-Friday (except Chinese holidays).
You should follow the instructions of the visa application on the embassy website.

My husband and I are Canadian citizens travelling in the Republic of Ireland and the UK. We would like to spend some time around Beijing in mid-August and then travel by train from Beijing to Moscow. We will not return to Canada before that. Is it possible for us to obtain a visa from your embassy in Dublin? Thank you for your time. Renie Gross

My husband and I are teachers who will start work in China on August 1, 2009. We presently live in Germany but we are Canadian citizens. We will be in Canada for the month of July but not in Ottawa. We need to apply for z visas. Can we do that through mail or do we have to go in peron? What is the process? How do we go about this.

Ms.Nancy replied:
You'd better apply for the visa from the Chinese embassy in Canada in person to speed and smooth the process with the following documents:
1. Your passports with blank pages and at least 6 months validity left before expiration.
2. A truly and completely filled application form affixed with one passport-sized photo.
3. A Visa Notification Form issued by Chinese authorized unit.
4. Both original and copy of Alien Employment License issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, or Foreign Expert Work Permit issued by the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs of China
5.The applicant who will stay in China for more than six months shall provide a Physical Examination Certificate for Foreign Citizen.

Hi;
My daughter has been in Canada now for 10 years. Her Chinese passport has recently run out and we would like to know if she still has the option to have her Chinese passport renewed even though she has been here for 10 years. If she can where can we get the infornation to renew. Unfortunitely whenever we call the embasy there is never a warm body available to answer any questions that we have.
I really need an answer as my daughter cannot travel anywhere until we get this resolved
Regards
