Of course, as we hold HK passports, no visa is required to enter Canada, but passengers don't even need to go through Canadian immigration officials while at YVR, so why would a visa be necessary? The only scenario I could think of is if a passenger would want to enter Canada before continuing on say the next day, but then this would not technically qualify as a "transit" for this particular CX888 flight, would it?
