Thanks Eugene and Angus.
Angus: will let you know if we get totally stuck and require local help. On top of everything, this was a last minute request at a time of year when it is also difficult to get seats on the N. America to Beijing runs. Combine that with a short window for getting the visa (although I think that will be facilitated due to direct involvement of Chinese and Canadian governments?) makes it a tough scenario. But we are up to the challenge--helps when you have others who know the ropes
