Hello ,

I am going to apply tomorrow. Kindly advise what did you submit as 2 pieces of ID for a minor . I live in AB where neither the school card nor the health card bear photo.

Should I submit his health card and another copy of his passport/PR card (although I am already sending a copy for both his PR/Passport ).

Kindly advise . Looking for advice from people who already have their applications in process.

Looking forward to an early response.

Thanks

I dont' have my application in process but as per the instruction guide... this is what it says:

Both pieces of identification should show your name and date of birth, one of which must have your photo on it.

Examples include:

a Canadian driver's licence
a Canadian health insurance card
a copy of the biographical page of your passport/travel document, etc.
If there is information on both sides of your personal identification documents, provide a photocopy of both sides.

Note: Social Insurance Number (SIN) cards, bank cards and credit cards are not acceptable pieces of identification
.

In your case of minors, please use health card as 1st and copy of passport (biographical pages) as 2nd. Even if you have provided the copy of PP/PR card as a requirement in the application, you should make additional copy for making 2 IDs.
