Does stepping inside a consulate count as having visited the country?

Question

Today, I stepped inside the Chinese consulate in Toronto with a friend (who is going to the Beijing Olympics) and I was wondering if that would count as Chinese territory or am I still in Canada?

Answer 1

No. Just like if you were to fly from Canada to Japan with a stopover in the US you would not have to go through customs in the US even though you are technically in the US.

Answer 2

look up the address of said consulate.

Answer 3

A consulate is not another country but only an extension of a country to be a domicile for its diplomats.

Answer 4

no it does not
