Mr.Kwong, An applicant holding a passport other than Malaysian passport should provide the original and a copy of his or her permanent residence or work permit which should be valid for at least half a year (except for those who are visa or permit exempt for residing or working in the Malaysia).

I think that the passport, one application form, a passport size photo are enough for Canadians for china tourist visa application. now you should submit visa application to Chinese Visa Application Service Center, please make an appointment online, for more information, please refer to http://www.visaforchina.org.my
