Government Issued ID
Citizen's Bridge can assist you with acquiring Canadian birth certificates and assisting in the process of other identifications, such as MPI photo ID cards, SCIS cards, MMF cards, bank accounts, and driver licences. Its mission is to assist individuals with identification procurement, open bank accounts, financial literacy workshops, and driver education course (CB does not produce photo ID of any kind).
Ask any Futures Forward staff member to refer you to the program.
