In the past, HKers are able to use their HK ID cards to gain entry into Hong Kong at immigration. My mom went to HK last year despite having an old and outdated HK ID card, and I am pretty sure she just used that to get in. If you do that, I believe you must apply for a new ID card within a certain period, and it is a bit of a PITA to do so if you aren't staying long enough to pick up the new card yourself.
I can't offer any suggestions on how you can get into China proper though. In the past, it was totally fine to just apply for a Chinese VISA using your Canadian passport. But I'm sure things are different now.

After lots of digging around this is the most recent article on the topic. Travel agents said most people who still hold a HKID will be denied a visa. I don't know what people who don't have a 回鄉證 is going to do as you cannot just get one nowadays without a HKSAR passport, and HKID isn't sufficient in entering China.
So we are at a point where we'll just wing it. If I'm denied boarding then I'll buy a HK flight and then flight to SH from HK. Pain in the ass but there's really no other option.
