Canada Visa Application Centres in China

2008-06-06


The Canadian Embassy in China announced it would open three new visa application centres (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou) to handle the rising number of visitors to the country.

Beijing and Shanghai Visa application centers has been opened, Guangzhou center will open on June 25.

I finally found the official website of China Via Application Centres: http://www.vfs-canada.com.cn/

I also got information which I was confused by these new Via Application Centres from their official website home page:

The Canada Visa Application Centre is officially authorized by the Embassy/Consulate of Canada in the Peoples Republic of China to accept applications for all categories of temporary resident visas (including work permits and study permits) and permanent resident travel documents, collect visa application fees and return passports to applicants holding ordinary/private passports. In addition, the Canada Visa Application Centre will collect additional documents requested by the embassy and arrange time and date of interview as required by the Embassy/Consulate for all categories of applications for temporary resident visas (including work permits and study permits) and permanent resident travel documents submitted through the Visa Application Centre.

Important Notes:

  • All Immigration applications are still handled by the Canadian Embassy/Consulate.
  • All other applications already submitted directly to the Embassy/Consulate in-person or by mail will still be handled by the Embassy/Consulate

Please note there is no change in the Canada immigration rules. All applications will be assessed and decided by the Visa office at the Canada Embassy in Beijing, in accordance with Canada immigration visa rules and guidelines.

The Canada Visa Application Centre provides visa application support service only. Staff members of Visa Application Centre have no power or influence over the outcome of an application. The decision to issue or refuse a visa is made solely by the officers at the Embassy/Consulate Canada. Canada Visa Application Centre staff will provide visa information, but they cannot and will not offer immigration advice.

It remains our commitment to ensure the integrity of our visa process. Any applicant submitting false documentation or other information in support of their application may be refused a visa, and the matter maybe referred to the local authorities. This site contains important information on the visa application process and related details. Please go through the contents carefully before making a visa application.

加拿大驻中国大使馆早期宣布将设立3个签证申请中心,分别在北京,上海和广州。以应付增长的加拿大访者。

北京和上海的签证中心已经开始办公。广州的将要在6月25日开放。

我花了点时间才搜索到中国签证中心的官方网站,其地址是: http://www.vfs-canada.com.cn/

同时我也从其官方网页上得到了困惑我的答案:

拿大签证申请中心是由加拿大驻中华人民共和国大使馆/领事馆官方授权的签证中心。加拿大签证申请中心受理所有临时居留签证种类(包括工作许可签证、学习许可签证)的申请和旅行证件签证的申请,收取签证申请费用,返还护照给持普通因私护照的申请人。此外,加拿大签证申请中心也会根据大使馆/领事馆的要求对各类临时居留签证(包括工作许可签证、学习许可签证)申请和旅行证件签证申请的要求收取加拿大大使馆要求的补充申请材料,安排面试的具体时间。

重要提示:

  • 所有移民申请仍旧直接前往加拿大大使馆/领事馆办理。
  • 所有已经亲自至大使馆/领事馆递交的或发电子邮件递交的签证申请仍由大使馆/领事馆办理。

加拿大签证申请中心由在华的加拿大大使馆/领事馆官方授权,以接受个类别的签证申请,收取签证费用和护照返还于持普通因私护照的申请人。此外,加拿大签证申请中心将安排使馆要求面试的时间和日期。

加拿大签证申请中心由加拿大驻华大使馆授权,正式受理持有普通护照的申请人各种类型的签证申请、代收签证费用,并提供护照返还的服务;同时按照使馆要求安排面试的具体时间。

加拿大签证申请中心只提供签证申请的后勤服务;中心工作人员不参与签证审理过程,也不对具体签证结果负责;签证的批准和拒绝均由加拿大大使馆单独决定。加拿大签证申请中心工作人员负责提供签证相关信息,但不会提供有助于获得签证的任何建议。

兹保证签证申请过程的公正与权威。提供伪造的申请材料或信息可能会导致拒签,并且向相关部门进行举报。该网站涵盖签证申请进程及其他相关信息等重要内容,请申请人在提交申请之前仔细查阅。
