China	Canadian Transit Visa needed for Vancouver?	Not sure of the airline he's using - he's bringing his wife (PRC citizen) back - BeiJing to Vancouver - then Vancouver to USA. I know about the special UCSIS/DHS processing station there - so Vancouver will be her POE. 12. I am not going to visit Canada, but my flight stops in Canada on the way to my final destination. Do I still need a visa? Yes. If you are transiting through Canada to another destination within 48 hours, you will require a Temporary Resident Visa known as a Transit Visa. The application process is the same as above, but there is no application fee. For countries and territories that require a transit visa . As part of Canada's Transit without Visa program, a China Transit Trial has been put in place. This trial will allow Chinese nationals holding valid U.S.A. visas to travel to and from the U.S.A. through the Vancouver International Airport without obtaining a Canadian transit visa. To qualify, Chinese travellers must travel to Vancouver on Cathay Pacific Airways, Philippine Airlines or China Airlines and the flights must originate from Hong Kong, Manila or Taipei. At present, there are no pre-authorized air carriers with direct, non-stop flights to the Vancouver International Airport originating from Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou. from http://www.canadaint...r.aspx?lang=eng I understand a transit visa is fee-exempt, but I wonder if any new air carriers are pre-authorized with flights from BeiJing to Vancouver ? Appreciate any input ! My understanding is that if you want to leave the airport you will need what ever that country requires. If you stay in the airport you are ok.
