I'm a Canadian passport holder and I have a one way flight booked for Beijing on April 1. I have no return flight as I will be traveling for a year and I will probably not fly out of China, but some other country.

I have done a lot of research and I know China has been tightening up on visa requirements in the past year. I do not know anyone in China who can send me an Invitation Letter.

My plan is to book a hotel for a week and a flight out of China at the end of that week and submit that to the Chinese Consulate in the hopes that they will grant me a visa. Once the visa is accepted I would cancel the hotel and flight out of the country.

I would really like a multiple entry 1 year visa, but I have my doubts they would issue this visa to me.

Does anyone have any experience in obtaining Chinese visas like this? Is there another option I am missing?

I do not have a travel agent, and I do not want to do a tour.

Thanks!
