You will need to bring in the following types of identification:

  • Primary ID: This must be a government-issued photo ID (eg. Driver’s License, Canadian Passport, Citizenship Card, Permanent Resident Card, etc.).
  • Secondary ID: The second piece of ID could simply be another photo ID as per the above list, or it could be a non-photo ID such as a SIN Card or a Credit Card.
