Applying for Visa to China using a Canadian Passport, while on vacation in Sri Lanka

Hello,

I am planning to attend the Enactus World Cup Conference in Beijing, China from October 22-25. All Canadians were waiting on personalized invitation letters from the CPAFFC. We have just been informed that we should now apply for visitors type instead.

I have reviewed the application process and have now realized that I need to be in canada to apply it. The problem is I am now in Sri Lanka and was planning on going to China in the middle of my trip. Due to the fact that we were waiting on personalized letters I did not apply while I was in Canada.

Since i have already purchased my plane ticket,, am I able to apply one using a Canadian Passport at the Sri Lankan Consolate? Please let me know
