passport expirystudy visa extension

Question

Dear Sir/Madam,My PRC Passport expires in Feb 2015. My Study Visa also expires in Feb 2015. I need to extend my X type whilst I am in Canada. Can I get a new passport from PRC consulate in Vancouver? Can I apply on my own without my mother in Canada ? I am 17 years old. How much does it cost? How many days would it take? What are the documents I need to present to get a new passport? Would my old passport be returned to me?thanks,Betty Chan, on behalf of student studying in Canada

You should apply from the consulate that has jurisdiction in the area where you live. Yes, you should submit your application in person. Mail application is not accepted. The required documents are:1. filled application form for passport, travel document or home return certificate of PRC.  2. 2 passport photos with background and you should provide them in elctronic edition. 3. old passport (both original and a copy)4. original and a copy of legal status in Canada, resident permit for study, for example.5. written application including details about your background.　The consulate doesn't specify how long it takes to renew a passport. It costs 35 Canadian dollars. Cash, credit card and personal cheques are not accepted.

The form can be found on the website of Chinese embassy and consulate. No.5 means you need to file a petition for this passport renewal with details of your status in Canada and info of latest visit to China.
