Over the recent years, the usage of employment ID verification is being increasingly used as it assists employers to make informed decision about their prospective employees, verifying their identity for them, preventing identity theft, impersonation or fraud during hiring. This may be a legal requirement, requiring the employers to verify the identity (the accuracy, the accessibility and the accuracy) and retain the records for at least two (2) years.
Generally, documents required for the process could include your passport, driver’s license, photo ID, Canadian Birth Certificate, your citizenship card or citizenship certificate, your record of landing document, your permanent resident card or your Confirmation of Permanent Resident document (COPR).
The whole purpose of ID verification extends beyond verification of your mere eligibility to work. Your employer may require you to submit notarized or certified to be true copies of your original ID as a part of the process.
