Helping clients apply for ID

In this webinar, Michaela DeSousa and Subodh Bharati of Community & Legal Aid Services Program (CLASP) explain what community workers should keep in mind when helping people apply for identification documents (IDs). They will also share resources that community workers can use.

People often need ID to apply for social benefits, health care, housing and jobs. They also need ID to submit an immigration application. At the CLASP ID Clinic, law students help people to apply for Government of Ontario ID such their birth certificate, health card, or photo card. And Government of Canada ID such as a permanent resident card.

CLASP also has short print resources that explain who's eligible to get these IDs and how to apply for them.

CLASP is part of York University's Osgoode Hall Law School.

As an introduction to this webinar, we recommend you watch CLEO's webinar on: Getting ID to access benefits.
