    Recognition (Canada). This is a multi page section that gives information on recognition of nonbinary gender identities in Canadian services and government. In Canada, passports and immigration documents are issued federally by the Canadian government while driver's licenses, health cards, and birth certificates are issued by the appropriate provincial government.
