Just for your information:
If you hold a Canadian passport and it is your first time to apply a Chinese Visa, you have to bring your old (expired) Chinese passport, together with a photo, a application form.
 
They want to make sure your passport is experied.
You can find all detailed information on their website, but not this.
 
Good Luck!
