Is it possible to apply HK Smart ID in Toronto?

All the old HK identity cards issued before 23 June 2003 have been declared invalid with effect from 30 November 2008. If you were absent from HK during their specified call-up periods under the Hong Kong Smart Identity Card Replacement Exercise, you should book an appointment online for replacement then apply within 30 days of your return to Hong Kong at any Registration of Persons Office. The consulate in Toronto accepts application of this, but it will be sent to HK for processing.
