Canadian Citizenship Card

The Canadian Citizenship Card is an official document that verifies an individual's Canadian citizenship. It features personal details like name, photograph, date of birth, and a unique identifier. Previously used as proof of citizenship for various purposes, the card was issued mainly before the introduction of the secure citizenship certificate in 2012. While it is still recognized as proof, it is less commonly used today, with most people relying on digital or official documents such as passports or citizenship certificates. The card helps establish identity and citizenship status within Canada and for immigration or travel purposes.
