Question

Hi, my name is Nicola and I am currently in Australia for school; I am flying home to Canada in june but my flight stops in the Shanghai Airport for 18 hours. I'm flying with China Eastern Airlines and I'm wondering if I need a visa to leave the airport for that 18 hours in between?

Visas are not required for citizens of Canada who transit through Pudong Airport or Hongqiao Airport of Shanghai, provided they hold valid passports, visas for the onward countries, final destination tickets and have booked seats, and stay in Shanghai for less than 48 hours.
