移民部长访问中国：签证中心加倍

The Canadian government is seeking to double the number of offices where Chinese can apply for Canadian visas as it looks to boost a dwindling number of visitors, international students, even high-skilled foreign workers from China.
加拿大政府真寻求倍增在中国的签证中心数目，希望能增加正在萎缩的中国访问者、国际学生甚至高技术工人。

Immigration Minister John McCallum spent the past two days meeting with senior Chinese officials in Beijing where he asked to open at least five more visa application centres in Chengdu, Nanjing, Wuhan, Jinan and Shenyang. Canada currently has five visa offices in China.
移民部长约翰·麦克勒姆（麦家廉）过去两天都在北京会见中国高层人士，他要求至少在成都、南京、武汉、济南和沈阳开设5个新的签证中心。加拿大目前在中国有5个签证中心（北京、上海、广州、重庆、香港）。

“Canada needs to take advantage of a great economic opportunity to capture this market and the opening of more visa application centres throughout China would facilitate travellers seeking to come to Canada,” said a government official on condition of anonymity, in an email to CBC News on Wednesday.
加拿大需要利用这个绝佳的经济机会以抓住中国市场，开设更多的签证中心能刺激中国旅客来加拿大，一位匿名的加拿大政府官员在对CBC新闻的邮件中说道。

　我认为，开更多的签证中心意义并不大，毕竟签证中心还是要把申请送到北京、上海等VO审理。只要这三处VO的风格、人数不变，那么无非也就是让这几个城市的客户送签更方便一点，事实上纸质签证早就可以邮寄，纸质以外还可以网申。

　　当然，透露出来的口风还有让中国人申请签证更容易，这个就很有意思了，具体能不能见到效果，让我们拭目以待。
