I am planning to sponsor my parents from China to visit Canada for a tour trip, and I recently read a note from Air China saying that if one
· is with non-immigration (e.g. visitor) visa, and
· never travel beyond China, and
· The non-immigration visa is issued in Canadian Consulate General Hong Kong office.
One is not able to depart from Beijing to Canada. I have Contacted Air China Travel agents, and they said it is a recent immigration policy of Canada. I am not sure if this bit of information is valid and I am not able to find any relevant information from the CIC web site on this subject. I am wondering if you can verify this for me since this will greatly impact my plans with my parents.
Thank you very much for taking time reading my email. Your kindest reply would be greatly appreciated! Should you require additional information, please contact me via this email address. Thank you and have a great day!
Best regards,
