I'm not talking about the picture. I'm talking about photo ID, like a driver's license or health card. |

It's pretty doubtful that someone would have no health card AND no driver's license AND no PR card/passport :S

They actually sent me multiple messages saying that I had to get my photo taken for my health card (I think it was 2 years ago).
But yeah, no passport?

Hmmm, yeah I guess there's not point in getting a passport if you aren't leaving the country before it expires.

That's BS! The red health card never expires!
- Your red and white health card needs replacing because :
- It is lost, stolen or damaged (e.g., card is broken, magnetic strip doesn't work)
- Your name has changed
- Your date of birth or other information has been recorded incorrectly (your provider may discover this while checking your coverage)
- A health provider has advised you that there is something wrong with your card or your coverage
These cards are valid unless you are told otherwise by OHIP. |

Yeah, OHIP started implementing the new health cards though. I think they deactivate the old healthcard a certain time after they send you a message telling you to go get a picture taken for your new healthcard.
I think the change was prompted for security reasons.

Expiry may not be the right word but it is true that the red & white health cards can become invalid. When your card is taken at a doctor's office and swiped a certain # code shows up. Some codes mean the card is still valid and some mean it is invalid and will eventually be canceled and no longer usable. There are a variety of reasons why the health cards become invalid.
I still have my red & white one but my sister got flagged randomly the year she was to turn 16 and got a letter telling her to come in and get a new health card.
