I live in Winnipeg and have family in Vancouver. Can I get my Visa while in Vancouver?

If your passport is issued by a passport office in Winnipeg, please go to Toronto to apply for China visa because Manitoba is under the consular districts of China consulate in Toronto.

If you don't need China visa urgently, you can try to apply for China visa in Vancouver, if the application is denied, then you have to go to Toronto to apply for visa. There is Chinese visa application service center in Vanocuver or Toronto, it accepts visa application by post.
