China Transit Program questions
I am trying to book a ticket for a Chinese passport holder with an itinerary of ORD-YYZ-PEK. The ticket, while issued from United Airlines, will be marketed and operated by Air Canada.
Everything seems to be in order here. The Chinese passport holder has a valid passport as well as a valid US visa. From this website, it seems like this situation qualifies for transit without a visa:
http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-vo...-pptc-eng.html
What's weird is that the top section of the page lists this verbiage:
They must depart on a direct, non-stop flight to Canada from one of the following six approved embarkation points in Asia:
Beijing;
Hong Kong;
Shanghai;
Guangzhou;
Manila;
Taipei.
However, if you read onward, the bottom section on CTP passengers arriving from the US references "in addition to meeting the conditions above". Obviously this doesn't make sense since if you are arriving from the US, you can't embark from one of those points in Asia. So this seems to be just an oversight by the author of the page?
Just looking for confirmation here that this situation qualifies for the China Transit Program and all that's required is to purchase the ticket and take the flight.
