Photo Identification for PT/CFAT

[Teflon]

Then why didn't you say that?   It might then have come across as helpful.

because I'm a helpfull guy here goes,...

If you bothered to read my first post:

Just a quick point for some people:

It would take less time and the answer would be more accurate if you just pick up your phone and call the recruiting center you are dealling with and ask your simple/quick/strange/dumb/whatever question to the people that will actually be dealing with it.

then you would have seen that I did, but anyways this little detour gets it posted again which is fine I guess

No. I don't. And I definitely don't feel I should have to explain myself for asking a question. My lack of a license has nothing to do with this thread, nor does it have anything to do with my ability to meet timings. Looks like some people make comments on here just because they're bored.

Photo ID !

How hard is this?  There are so many forms of Photo ID that are recognized by Banks and other institutions, besides a Driver's Licence; surely you have one.......Your OHIP Card perhaps.........a Passport...........a Student Card.........What do you use when you go to the Bar? 

Photo ID.  Plain and simple.  Get a Photo ID.  Any Photo ID that is recognized and accepted by the CFRC.  Ask them what they will accept.  (I am sure I have listed almost all already, but may have missed one or two.)




And for anyone who comes upon this topic later while doing a SEARCH; you need a Photo ID to verify/prove that you are who you say you are.

PS:  A Birth Certificate is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Maybe......just maybe, you should use all that energy you are using explaining yourself ( funny how that happened eh ?) and use it to go get one form of acceptable photo ID.

I am trying to join a local Reserve unit. Does the CF accept Ontario provincial health cards as valid forms of government issued photo identification?

The OHIP Card is NOT an accepted form of Government Issued ID.

Extract from RHB Art 3.1.2 para 1.b.

Government issued photo identification (ie; Provincial Health Card, Provincial Drivers Licence, Passport)
NOTE - CFRC's in Ontario are prohibited from using the Ontario Health Card as a means of source documentation IAW the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIP).

Presuming you don't have an Ontario Drivers Lic and/or Passport, this may be your best bet.

Application process and time is about the same as for the Health Card.

 

[The_Falcon]

Legally no one but a health care provider should be verifying who you are with your health card.

I went down to the recruiting centre to see about redo of the CFAT, and he said i need my id to get in the recruiting centre, does anyone know if they will still take the health card as id??? When i applied for reserves in 2012 they took my health card.

They took my health card as id I also had my birth certificate as well. The one with my dob and picture that is how I applied for Infantry Reserves.

 

[The_Falcon]

The (Ontario) Health Card is NOT acceptable ID, never has been, never will be. Have some people in recruiting ACCIDENTALLY accepted it, yes, should they have NO. You will need a different piece of identification, full stop.

 

[Rex12345]

I was wondering since I don't have the proper ID for further processing, is this piece of photo ID eligible? http://www.ontario.ca/page/ontario-photo-card

Yes, I don't see why it wouldn't be as the identification is being issued by a Provincial Government.

When I went and spoke with him yesterday, he said the photo ID has to be issued by the Federal Government not provincial, he said policies have changed.

Asked and answered in Ask a CAF Recruiter,

Q: my only photo ID is an expired learners licence and my Grade 12 Student ID. I also have my old Health Card from when I lived in Ontario (which also contains a photo) would any of those work as the required photo ID needed to apply?

A: Try and obtain some form of Photo ID issued by a Provincial or Federal Department.  The use of the OHIP Card is strictly forbidden due to Privacy issues.
