What is a Canadian transit visa?

Usually, Chinese citizens go to the United States, South America and other places to transfer flights in Canada. In addition to meeting the visa-free conditions, they need to apply for a Canadian transit visa regardless of whether they leave the airport or not. So how should a Canadian transit visa be handled?

The first thing that should be determined when applying for a transit visa is the way to apply for a visa. There are three ways to apply for a Canadian transit visa:

1. Visa Center

It is more convenient to submit through the visa center. You can consult the visa center to obtain materials and then submit them to the visa center. You will submit them to the embassy through the visa center, but the visa center will charge a certain service fee.

2. The Embassy

There is no service fee for embassy submission, but an appointment is required. The appointment time is relatively tight and is not suitable for applicants who are in a hurry.

3. Net sign

Online signing is more convenient and fast, and will not charge any service fees, but the online signing time is unstable, sometimes faster, sometimes the acceptance time will be longer.

After choosing the visa submission method, you need to submit the visa application form, passport, photo, ID card, account book, visa page of the third country, air ticket order, travel plan itinerary, etc. If the applicant is on the job, he can also provide on-the-job materials. After preparing all the materials, the applicant can submit the materials according to the submission method of his choice.

After the embassy accepts the application for a transit visa, the visa issued is usually valid for three months and can stay for 48 hours. It can be seen that the time issued by the embassy to the applicant is relatively short, so the applicant must check his air ticket to prevent travel errors.

Tip: Canada has three embassies and consulates and eleven visa centers in China, and there is no division of areas. Applicants can submit visa applications according to the principle of proximity.
