According to the notice from the Canadian consulate general in Guangzhou, the consulate general has approved the acceptance of business visa (temporary resident visit) applications submitted by the Foreign and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the Xiamen Municipal Government. Applications will be accepted during work day (Mon-Fri) mornings.
