We went to China last August. So we need to get Chinese visa…read more The Chinese Consulate is in Calgary, since we didn't want to go to Calgary (twice), We search in google and find visatochina, who is authorized to accept visa applications and take them to the consulate for you and they are also the largest visa provider in Edmonton because we found a lot of travel agencies collect passports for them. They are in the west end and the office is beautiful. The visa costs $92, and they charge only about $33 service fee on top of that which is super reasonable. If we go to Calgary ourselves, the gas will cost us much more than that. It takes about one week to get the visa back, pretty fast. You can also pay more to get rush service, which is only 3 days, but we had no need for that. The visa application form, as well as all the required documents are available on their website. They checked my documents carefully to make sure everything is fine. For the payment, they take cash, debit and credit card. But for the credit card, they charge 3% service fee which made me a little uncomfortable. When they explained to me that the Chinese visa service center don't take credit card and the charge service only to cover their expenses which is charged by the bank I think it's acceptable. After they take all the documents and money, they'll give you a receipt with a pick up form. On the form, there is a pickup date which you can pick up your passport on that date of after because they guarantee the time Our passport came back exactly as they promised and their receptionist is very kind and served us with great patience. I recommend them because they gave me great service with low cost and save me a lot of time. Just search in google "visatochina edmonton" if you want to use their service

I like Travel Cuts. They have good deals - especially for students. But my experience at this…read morelocation was not quite up to par. The gentleman I spoke to was nice at first, he grabbed me a brochure right away and started asking me questions about the travel I had in mind. But when I asked him a question, he was a bit condescending in his response - like I should have known all the details about how they operate at Travel Cuts. But I don't - that's why he works there and I don't! I also asked him about a specific attraction in a certain city and he said he had never heard of it and it must be in a different city than the one we were talking about. I was sure it was in the one we were discussing though. He said that if it was, he had never heard of it. As I was walking away with my brochure he gave me, flipping through the pages, the attraction I was talking about was in the brochure he gave me! This guy clearly didn't know too much about the place I wanted to go. That was upsetting considering it's his job to know these kinds of things. And the fact that he told me I must be mistaken about the location, was just the icing on top of the cake! I was disappointed with my experience this time around. My other experiences with Travel Cuts have all been positive but my first time at this location was less than good.

They have low rates for everyone, but even more so for full time students. I also got an International Student Identification Card (ISIC), although I did have to pay for that. The ISIC card can get you a lot of discounts around the world. You can find all the deals on http://www.isiccard.com/ so you can be prepared and save money on your next trip. I really appreciated that Travel Cuts let us choose (from a few different options) where our layovers would be and how long they would be. I had a really good experience with Travel Cuts and my trip was beyond amazing. If you are traveling on a budget, Travel Cuts is definitely worth your time.

We had booked a trip through here and didn't have the best experience. The trip was good and enjoyable but dealing with the travel agent was such a hassle. She was always getting our trip details mixed up and never informed us of any flight changes that we needed to know about. The trip was to Cancun and for the flight back we were giving the wrong departure time. It was a few hours later and no one called to inform us of this. When we got to the airport and met up with people that had come to Cancun on the same flight as us they said their travel agents had called them to inform them of the time change. We never heard from ours, we were just thankful it was a later time and not earlier. I wouldn't book through them again.

They have a great line of men's clothes and I once found a cute light-weight summer dress on a clearance rack for $20. I remember looking at some of the hiking wear and thinking it was crazy expensive. While I might stop in here if I were planning a trip, I'd sooner spend my money at MEC, where you can get all of the essentials, support an environmentally kind co-op, and have your dollar stretch a bit further. Parking is around the side if you can't get street parking.
