Can I apply for a China Tourist Visa in Vancouver?

I'm from Edmonton, Alberta and I will be in Vancouver to visit a friend for a few days. I was wondering if I can apply for my China tourist visa while I'm there? I plan to visit China later on this year. Thank you in advance for answering.

You need to apply at the Visa Centre in the consular district where you lawfully reside. So you need to submit your application to the visa center in Calgary.

If your daughter is not older than 12, you need to apply for her a mainland China travel permit. If she is older than 12, you should apply for her a normal Chinese visa at the visa center in Canada. The details can be found on its official website.
