China Canada and Remarkable Achievement

Stephen Harper: Each stay may not exceed 180 days, according to Globe and Mail. This arrangement is another remarkable achievement in the development of bilateral relations between China and Canada. With this arrangement, visa offices in China and Canada will issue to citizens – for business travel, tourism or family visits – multiple-entry visas that are valid for up to 10 years, but not exceeding validity of applicant passport. When Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited China last November, a broad consensus was achieved regarding politics, the economy and people-to-people exchanges. This is of vital practical and long-term significance for our bilateral relations, in particular the people-to-people exchanges. After the successful trip, the foreign ministries of two countries began the negotiation on a reciprocal visa arrangement, and reached agreement in a short period. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
