Q: if i do not have 智能身份證 智能, only, actually, China

Yes-man

What do i have to do to get the $6000? i only have the old ID with "3 stars". I heard that we can apply for 智能身份證 at Consulate of China (on Broadway). Did anyone actually do it this way? Thanks for sharing.

Fully booked la.  You have to go back HK for renewal.

The rule for $6000 is that you have to have a valid HK ID by Mar 31, 2012. All non-smart card ID are invalid as of 2003. If you are able to get your ID by Mar 31, then your $6000 application will get processed after Apr 1, 2012.

This is a very stupid hidden policy, and meaning you have to either open a bank account in HK or wait 2 months after Apr to get a chequie ready.

    I did plan to get the smartid from HK (if I can't get it at the Consulate), and come back here to apply for $6000 at Bank of China so I don't have to wait so long in HK. Is it going to work?

如果你決定返HK拿ID, 你不如响HK個HSBC 開戶口先返來啦~  你有加拿大住址證明就得架喇~ i mean 係bank document, credit card, phone bill kinda invoice 個D信! 再搞埋個internet banking, 咁就OK 啦! 駛乜返來比人收你手續費呢... bank of china 都要收$30啦~

    Sounds like a good idea. Can I open an account at HSBC here and have the $ transferred over?

of course, but service lor~ about $110 HKD la! but if u always go HK, y not keep the HK account... so u don't have to bring HKD back 2 vancouver. it's always better exchange rate from banks in HK than in Vancouver bor!

So has anyone got their SmartID here at the Consulate? And how did you do it?
