10 Ontario Photo Cards

Having a Canadian government-issued photo identification card is a great option for international students living in Canada. The Ontario Photo Card costs $35 and is valid for 5 years.

Instead of always having to carry your passport, an Ontario photo card allows non-drivers aged 16 years and over to access government, financial or business services that require proof of identity, such as cashing a cheque, opening a new bank account, obtaining a credit card, returning merchandise to a store, and obtaining hotel accommodations. You can also use this card to show proof of legal drinking age when asked to present identification (ID) at a bar or when purchasing alcohol.
