I'm a senior citizen and former Hong Kong resident now living in Canada. I hold a Canadian passport, but still have my Hong Kong Permanent Identity Card from the pre-1997 era. Last time when I went back to Hong Kong in 2000, I obtained a 10-year China travel pass, which is for Hong Kong and Macau residents to travel into China. I must have used my Hong Kong ID to apply for that pass - I don't exactly remember. I'm now planning to visit HK and China later this year but found that the HK-China travel pass I obtained 10 years ago has just expired. Can I apply for a new one in Canada, or do I have to go back to HK to apply? Is my pre-1997 Hong Kong ID card still good to use for applying for the China travel pass? Can I go get a China tourist visa instead as a Canadian citizen? I heard from someone that you can't get a visa if you used a HK-China travel pass before. Is that true?
