canadian applying for tourist visa in hk

Question

I'm a Canadian citizen and am thinking of applying for a Chinese tourist L type in Hong Kong. I recently moved to the UK and the costs here for getting PRC entry permits are horrendously high.I've done lots of visa runs in HK in the past (when I was living in PRC) but heard that in the last couple years non-residents of Hong Kong cannot get a PRC entry permit in Hong Kong. Is this true? Will I be turned down if I show up at that office and apply for a single entry tourist L type?

Yes, according to the latest regulations, if foreigners don't have HK residency, they cannot apply for mainland PRC entry permits from there. However, you can try your luck at the office or hire an agency to help you. Many foreigners still managed  in getting it from HK.
