I understand your concern about surrendering your permanent overseas ID card when applying for an Ontario Photo Card. It's important to clarify this issue, especially if it might affect other applicants as well. To address this matter, you can take the following steps:
Contact Ontario's Ministry of Transportation (MTO): You can reach out to the MTO's Customer Service to inquire about the specific requirements and procedures for obtaining an Ontario Photo Card without surrendering your permanent overseas ID card. Here's how you can contact them via email:
- Visit the official website of the Ministry of Transportation Ontario: MTO Contact Page
- Look for an email or contact form option to send your inquiry. Make sure to provide all the relevant details about your situation.
Write a Detailed Email: In your email, explain your situation thoroughly, including why you need to keep your overseas ID card, the fact that it's property of another country, and any concerns you have about the requirement. Be polite and clear in your communication.
Request Clarification: Ask for clarification on the policy regarding overseas ID cards during the Ontario Photo Card application process. Mention your desire to help ensure that the process is clear and fair for all applicants.
Suggest a Resolution: If you have a suggestion for a more reasonable solution, such as providing a copy of your overseas ID card or a notarized statement confirming your identity, include that in your email.
Document Everything: Keep a record of your email correspondence and any responses you receive from the MTO. This will be important in case you need to escalate the issue further.
Consider Contacting Your Local MPP: If you do not receive a satisfactory response from the MTO, you can contact your local Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) to discuss the matter. They may be able to advocate on your behalf.
