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.

It's said that there are always a long line out of the embassy, so the earlier you go to the embassy the better.

i am a canadian citizen. my 3 year old son is a canadian citizen born in china. my wife holds a canadian permanent resident card and an expired chinese passport. we would like to return to china to visit in-laws in the near future. obviously she's going to need to get a new chinese passport before we travel (any idea of how much, etc?). my son and i will also need visas (my son is 3). is this all done at the same office? now that she's a permanent resident, she no longer needs a visa to return to canada, correct? am i missing anything?

Mr.Hunter replied:
I only know that you should apply for the China visa from the China embassy or consulate in Canada. I'm afraid you have to contact the China embassy or consulate for detailed and exact info.
