Canadians Can Now Get 10 Year Visas to China

Go get 'em while they're hot

Canada and China have agreed to grant each other’s citizens visas valid for up to ten years, according to China’s Foreign Minister.

“China and Canada have just reached an agreement issuing visas to each other’s citizens with the validity period of up to 10 years,” said Wang Yi at a press conference at the National People’s Congress, currently being held in Beijing. No further details were made.

The announcement comes on the heels of similar visa agreements China has made with the USA and Australia last year.

Canada had recently cancelled an immigration investment program that was bitterly opposed by Canadians, but has angered Chinese applicants who have announced their intention to sue the Canadian government for rescinding its offer.

Canada and China also seem to have warming ties, as the police forces in both countries are teaming up to fight money laundering and corruption.
