The demand for Chinese visas has grown rapidly in recent years. To provide a better service for visa applicants, the Chinese Consulate-General inToronto, following the success of the visa centers of other countries, decides to introduce the Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC). CVASC is responsible for receiving visa applications of ordinary passport holders for visiting mainland China, collecting visa fees on behalf of the Consulate-General and returning processed visa applications.
