Mr.Kwan(Canada) said:

Hi, I am a permanent resident in Canada and hold a valid HKSAR passport. However, I forgot my PR card is expired and have to travel back to Hong Kong in Feb for 5 weeks which leave me no time to wait and renew the PR card in Canada. So, can I entry back to Canada with the HKSAR passport? as I am not sure if there would be enough time to obtain a travel document in Hong Kong.

Also, I would like to apply for Canadian citizenship. Should I apply it before or after the trip to Hong Kong?

Thanks for your help.

Mr.Bruce replied:

I guess that you can't return to Canada with your HKSAR passport because that your Canadian PR Card has been expired. I know that Canada have granted visa-free access or visa-on-arrival to HKSAR Passport holders, if you can't go back to canada, you can apply for a visa on arrival.

You should renew your student visa at the Canadian police station in Vancouver rather than Chinese consulate in Vancouver.

If she know the hospital she was borned in Hong Kong, there is chance for her to get her birth certificate, otherwise, it is slim chance.

Mrs.Sherry(Canada) said:

Hi, I need to know if I can get someone, other then myself, to bring my documents in for a travel visa? I live out of town and can't come into the office. Can you also tell me if the visa and my passport can be mailed back to me or would they have to come back to the visa office to pick it up? Thank you

Mrs.Becky replied:

the Consulate does not accept straight forward mail-in application. Those who wish to apply for Chinese visa by mail or courier need to send the applications to their clients or travel agencies in Vancouver, such as " CHINA TRAVEL SERVICE (CANADA) INC. ( Tel: 604-872-8787 Fax: 604-873-2823 Toll Free: 1-800-663-1126 E-mail: info@chinatravelcdn.com)"to submit the applications on behalf of the applicants.
