About the requirement for providing photocopy of two (2) pieces of personal identification (point 6 in the document checklist), do you guys have any suggestions about what these ID's could be? I am from a province where both the driver's license and the health card are now combined into one. So I only have one ID beside my passport and PR card, the photocopies of which need to provided as part of other compulsory requirements (points 3 and 5 in the document checklist) with the application. Thus I am not sure what I can include to fulfill point 6 in the document checklist.
Citizenship application: 2 pieces of ID's

4. Two (2) pieces of personal identification
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.
Health Card is not ID and you should only show as last resort when u have no other ID for local police incase u get stoped.
Healthcard is a GREAT piece of ID. Healthcard for people under work-visa usually don't have a photo. For PRs and citizens healthcards have photos, hence it is a government issued photo ID. In fact, it is better than a foreign driver's license for most cases.
I do have two different cards (healthcard+driver's license), but I was concern about this as well. I am certain that in my PR application, I had to provide two government issued IDs. My foreign driver's license and passport "double dipped" on this requirement. That's why I asked in the FAQ thread as well
As stated above, IRCC have specifically said a Canadian healthcare is sufficient for ID. Provincial rules don't apply - all that matters is that the document meets the criteria set out by IRCC.
Just because the old health card has a picture.
The new one doesnt have any photos.
I already meet two of the other requirements so i guess this doesnt matter?
Ill send my current health card
my sister who works for service ontario which issue health card told me to never show health card to private sectors like banks or credit firms like equifax, if the card info is stolen and some drug dealer gets controlled drugs like oxycontin repeatedly without your knowledge expect police visit and arrest which u have to proof u r innocent.
Depends on which province you reside. Alberta's health card has neither photo nor expiry on it
