Tourists now pay a minimum visa fee of $176, rising to $453 for the fastest double-entry visa.
Businesses now pay a minimum visa fee of $176, rising to $806 for the fastest multi-entry visa.

China Photo Requirements now Strict
The Government of China in Beijing has set very strict new rules for visa application photographs. These new regulations must be obeyed to the letter or the application will be rejected.
As courtesy the Chinese produced a poster showing how they view the perfect visa photo.
Click here for the Chinese visa photo poster.
The size is very important, and all photos must be 33mm x 48mm. You cannot cut down a standard Canadian passport image to this size because your head will be too big. Have the photographer print the image the correct size to begin with.
One significant sticking point for many women is that the new rules dictate that both ears must be visible in the photo. Before you pay for a photo, ensure both of your ears can be seen.

New Passport Requirement for Return to Canada (for Dual Nationals)
Starting 30 September 2016 Canadian citizens and Canadian citizens whoa re dual nationals MUST have a valid Canadian PASSPORT to travel to Canada before they can board their flight.
A valid Canadian passport is the only reliable and universally accepted travel document that provides proof that you are a citizen and have the right to enter Canada without being subjected to immigration screening. Make sure that the expiry date of the passport is well beyond your planned return date.
If you are a Canadian citizen and a citizen of a visa-exempt country (dual Canadian citizen) who currently uses your non-Canadian passport to fly to Canada, you cannot apply for an eTA. This is because eTA was set up to screen foreigners for admissibility to enter Canada on a temporary basis.
Every Canadian citizen has the right to enter Canada and is not subject to immigration screening. Travelling with a valid Canadian passport proves that you are a citizen.
You must use your Canadian passport to enter Canada. It is no longer advisable or wise to try this with a foreign passport.
Canadians must enter on their Canadian passports.
