IRCC is expanding its network of Visa Application Centres in China from 5 to 12

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) says it now has 12 Visa Application Centres open in China to support the rising demand for temporary resident visa services there. The 5 established Visa Application Centers (VACs) are located in Beijing, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Shanghai. The 7 new VACs are located in Chengdu, Hangzhou, Jinan, Kunming, Nanjing, Shenyang and Wuhan.

The recent addition of daily non-stop Air Canada flights from Shanghai to Montreal and a direct Air Canada / Air China flight from Beijing to Montreal three times a week have helped foster a jump in Chinese tourism to the city, with other major Canadian cities, including Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, also having direct flights to and from locations in China.

VACs are managed privately and are only authorized to provide visa applicants with specific services such as answering applicant questions in local languages and ensuring applications are complete.

VACs cannot provide advice to applicants about their visas, and all decisions regarding their applications are made by IRCC officials.
