Here is the right answer according to Timatic database as of today. In summary, you do not need a transit G type for an 8 hour connection in Guangzhou.National Nepal (NP)             /Residence Canada (CA)Transit China (People's Rep.)

Hi Leo, would you be so kind to check for me if a Pakistani national with residence in Singapore needs a transit G for the route SIN-CAN-YYZ (transit time is 3.5 hours, visa for Canada is on hand). Your help would be highly appreciated. Thank you, Henrike

According to Timatic, Pakistanis do not need a visa except when transiting through Xiamen or Urumqi. However, certain Chinese airlines do not follow Timatic rules and demand travelers from certain countries to hold a transit visa. You should contact Guangzhou immigration office during business hours as well as your airline.
