IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? Chinese consulates in Canada are now requiring that visa applicants appear in-person for biometrics.
What does the change mean? Visa applicants must arrange an appointment in advance at one of the visa applications offices in Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto or Vancouver.
Analysis & Comments: The additional step requiring an in-person biometrics appointment complicates a previously simple process. Applicants should anticipate delays, especially if they need to travel to one of the visa application centers.
