Apply for my first Canadian passport: problem in providing required I.D.

[MayM]

Apply for my first Canadian passport: can I use my passport issued by a country which doesn't allow dual citizenship as I.D.?

Hello I'm looking for help. I'm so confused.

To apply for my first Canadian passport:, I need to provide:

"at least one (1) document to support your identity with the name, sex, date of birth, signature and photo to appear in the passport."
and
"All documents submitted to support your identity must be valid and, must be issued by a federal or, provincial/territorial authority (or local equivalent abroad)."

I was from a country which doesn't allow dual citizenship. The only document that I have with my signature on is the passport of that country.
When I became a Canadian citizen. I assume that old passport should not be valid any more. ( It is not expired yet.)
Can I provide it as the I.D. required for a Canadian passport?
If not, any one please tell me how can I provide a document with my signature that meet all the requirements?

I deeply appreciate your help.

I don't have a driving license
I have health care card but it doesn't have signature on it.
I don't have any other government document with my signature on. That's the problem

Oh! When I check my OHIP, I did find my signature on it!
I feel ashamed for asking this silly question and have been bothered by it for a week!

Thank you, Babi22!

No worries, happens to everyone

So you have your ID for your passport application then... and by the way, yes you can use your foreign passport as an ID for your canadian passport application.

Obviously, what else could be better identification than your country's passport on which you came to Canada.

Besides that, they expect you to show original Canadian Certificate issued after Oath, driving license, health card etc.

Once you fill up the passport application, affix required sized / format photo, carry all your originals to passport office, where they just verify and return you the originals. Its very simple, nothing complicated at all.

Apply for the Ontario photo card. It's a great ID to have if you don't carry a driver's license. OHIP card is not valid ID proof but the photo card can be.
