Key facts

  • The Embassy of the People's Republic of China is the Chinese embassy in Ottawa; China may also run consulates general in other Canadian cities for regional consular services.
  • Visa and passport applications are frequently processed through a designated application centre (e.g. VFS Global or BLS International) rather than by mail to the embassy — check the official website first.
  • Include a full return address so the mission can reply, and never mail cash; pay any fees the way the mission specifies.
  • Send passports and original documents only when the mission asks for them by mail, and use a trackable method; otherwise send certified copies.
  • PostPal prints and deposits your letter with Canada Post the next business day, so you can mail from anywhere without a printer or a trip to the post office.

How to send your letter

  1. 1

    Confirm your service is handled by mail

    Visa and passport applications for many countries are processed through a designated application centre (such as VFS Global or BLS International) or a regional consulate general — not by mail to the embassy. Check the Chinese embassy's official website (linked in the sources below) so your documents reach the right place.

  2. 2

    Prepare your letter or documents

    Include any required forms and copies, and add your full return address so the mission can reply. Don't enclose cash — pay fees the way the mission specifies. Send certified copies rather than originals unless originals are specifically requested.

  3. 3

    Address it to the embassy

    First line: Embassy of the People's Republic of China. Then the street: 515 St. Patrick Street. Then the city line: Ottawa ON K1N 5H3.

  4. 4

    Send it without a trip to the post office

    Write or upload your letter to PostPal with the address above prefilled, and we print, envelope, and deposit it with Canada Post the next business day for $6 — with your return address printed so the embassy can write back.
