school in beijing for 2 months, followed by employment in shanghai for 5 months

Question

Hello - I have been accepted to attend a program at CUC in Beijing for two months, as arranged by my university here in Canada. Afterwards, there is a possibility of working for approximately 5 months in Shanghai. I will be applying for a business visa for school, but this will only allow me stay in China for 6 months. Is it possible to extend this once I am in Beijing? Or should I apply for an employment visa while I am there? Thank you for your help!

Yes, you may apply for an extension of stay in China at the local public security bureau one to two weeks ahead of the expiration date of you duration in China. It's hard for you to apply for a China work visa in China.
