Canada Opens to China - 30-Day Visa-Free Travel Now Available

China has eliminated visa requirements for Canadian passport holders, effective February 17, 2026, through December 31, 2026. The policy permits stays of up to 30 days for tourism, business, family visits, cultural exchanges, and transit purposes. This unilateral move follows Prime Minister Mark Carney's January visit to Beijing and reflects both nations' commitment to strengthening trade and people-to-people connections.
