Canada visa for Chinese citizens
Visa required
🇨🇳 Chinese passport → 🇨🇦 Canada: yes — a visa arranged in advance.
How it works
You'll need a visa arranged in advance through the embassy or consulate (or an authorised visa centre): application form, passport photos, fee, and often proof of funds, accommodation and onward travel. Start early — processing can take weeks.
Heads-up: Canada commonly asks for proof of onward travel (airline check-in and border).
