Hi this is my first post here. I'm a graduate student in usa and I'm going home to visit my family in china in a few weeks. My flight there stops in Toronto where I change flights. I'm a chinese citizen. Do I need a transit visa?
 
This system that Canada has in place is a joke. I've never, ever been able to get a straight answer out of anyone there about this. Their website doesn't cover this, and when you try to call someone all you get is put on hold and eventually disconnected, yet when you show up with no money, passport, or anything else thy just wave you through.

What do you mean the website doesn't cover this? It is crystal clear from the website that for Chinese citizens who don't hold US green card, a transit visa IS required.

"Citizens of the following countries and territories require a Visa to VISIT or TRANSIT Canada:

China, Peoples' Republic of.."

 
Transit visas, usually valid for 5 days or less and these are required for passing through the country to a third destination. I think the source mentioned above is a good one.
 
yes you need transit visa, but what if a flight lands in emergency and stays for 7-8 hours. And peoples want to go out for shopping fooding etc....
 
Canada is one of the favorite destinations of the crowd. The climate is great that is wanted when your on touring.
