I am a Canadian citizen and my boyfriend is a US citizen, both of us reside in Seattle Wa. We are visiting china in march and are trying to apply for the travel visa's for shanghai and Bejing. Can we go up to vancouver to the consulate there and have the visa's issued to us while we are in their office? If so, which office address should we go to? do we need to make an appointment?
