Thanks, but I don't need a Z visa. I think I need a D visa? I stay here overseeing the production of our products before we ship them overseas. I work for a Canadian company that hires a local factory to make our products.

Do you mean a residence permit? Once you arrive in the city where you will be living and have a apartment you go to your nearest police station with your passport and prove of address (in most cases they will need to landlord with you)
The police just loge you into the system and give you a paper.

If you're working for a short term period in Shanghai, you don't get a residence permit neither a residence visa.

From what you described in your comment, you're entitled to get a F Business Visa. The F visa grants you the possibility to live in China for a duration of usually 6 months-1year according to your project. However, you won't be considered as having a residency here in China.

There is no visa called D visa. What you need as indicated in your comment above is probably a temporary residence permit. Follow Fritze's suggestion to get your temporary residence permit that you were supposed to get within 24 hours of your arrival.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
