2018年11月23日-渥太华——为了支持加拿大和中国之间不断发展的关系，以及加拿大 - 中国旅游年，加拿大（IRCC）正在与蚂蚁金融服务集团（蚂蚁金融）合作开展客户服务计划，使中国公民申请加拿大访客签证变得更容易、更方便，特别是在网上申请时。
Chinese nationals who use Alipay, a leading mobile and online payment platform in China that is operated by Ant Financial,now have the option to submit an English-language Zhima report to show proof offinancial standing as part of their visitor visa application. Zhima Credit is an independent credit-scoring assessment service that is operated by Ant Financial.
使用由蚂蚁金融运营的中国领先的移动和在线支付平台支付宝的中国公民现在可以选择提交英语版的芝麻签证报告，以显示其访客签证申请中的财务状况证明。芝麻信用是一项独立的信用评分评估服务，由蚂蚁金融运营。
The Zhima report is more comprehensive than the traditional bank statements and deposit certificates typically received insupport of visitor visa applications. Chinese nationals can, however, continue to provide bank statements or other evidence of financial standing if they choose. The free report is easy to access and can be easily up loaded to an online application, or printed and submitted with a paper application. IRCC officials will be able to quickly verify the authenticity of the report,allowing for more efficient processing.
芝麻签证报告比通常用于支持访客签证申请的传统银行对账单和存款证明更为全面。但是，如果中国公民愿意，他们也可以继续提供银行对账单或其他财务状况证明。这份免费报告很容易获得，并且可以容易地上传到在线申请，或者打印并与纸质申请一起提交。IRCC官员将能够快速核实报告的真实性，从而实现更有效的处理个案。
This year is the Canada-China Year of Tourism, and has been a record year for Chinese travellers visiting Canada. The tourism industry is an economic driver and is Canada’s number 1 service export, with international revenues reaching over $20 billion, and supports more than 1.8 million jobs related to the tourism sector. In the first 9 months of 2018, Canada welcomed 585,000 tourists from China, an increase of 4.9% over the same period in 2017. Over one-third of visitor visa applications that IRCC received this year came from Chinese citizens.
今年是加中旅游年，也是中国游客来加拿大旅游创纪录的一年。旅游业是经济驱动力，是加拿大第一大服务出口，国际收入超过200亿美元，并为旅游业提供180多万个就业岗位。在2018年的前9个月，加拿大迎来了来自中国的58.5万名游客，比2017年同期增长了4.9％。今年IRCC收到的访客签证申请中有超过三分之一来自中国公民。
As the number of Chinese travellers continues to increase, this service improvement will help the department manage the growing number of visitor visa applications and will facilitate travel for Chinese visitors.
随着中国游客人数的不断增加，这项服务的改善将有助于IRCC管理越来越多的访客签证申请，并将为中国游客提供便利。
