Darlene, it is impossible to determine your eligibility because you have not presented your flight itinerary with the exception that you plan to travel to China from Moncton. OK, I will just ask you to check whether your flight itinerary is in the line with the basic rule of 240 hour visa free transit and that one is that your immediate points before and after mainland China has to be in two different countries or eligible territories (eligible territories are Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau). In other words, if your flight to Beijing has it last stop in Canada, just before Beijing, your flight out of China has to have another country as an immediate point. For example, en eligible itinerary is: Moncton - Toronto - Beijing - Tokyo - Toronto - Moncton. As you can see, the immediate points before and after China are located in two different countries - Canada and Japan. However, if you fly an itinerary of this kind: Moncton - Toronto - Beijing - Toronto - Moncton, this is not eligible for 240 hour visa free transit because both immediate points before and after China are located in just one country - Canada. You should take care about those details. In case if you have an eligible itinerary you will be covered by 240 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. All the formalities that you will perform will happen upon your landing in Beijing where you will fill out the arrival card and approach 24/240 hour visa free transit where you will present your flight tickets and also present your Chinese itinerary like travel to Weifang and similar. You will be granted a temporary entry permit and then you will head to the immigration and finally to the city to start your Chinese visit. Please, just have in mind to create an eligible itinerary and after that everything is a very easy job. Hope this helps.
