The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have charged a Windsor man for fraudulently using a Canadian citizenship card.
The RCMP said 49-year-old Ian Antinio Whynder allegedly used the fraudulent card in 2007 and in 2010 to get his drivers licence in St. Catherines.
Whynder is charged with two counts of using an altered Canadian citizenship card as proof of identification to support his application for the licence.
Canada Immigration and Citizenship asked the Mounties in March to investigate.
"The RCMP is committed to protecting Canadian communities by safeguarding the processes whereby Canadians rely on Federal and Provincial government agencies to provide valid identification," said Inspector Ann Koenig, officer in charge of Hamilton Niagara Regional RCMP Detachment. "These charges show that the RCMP and their partner agencies will not turn a blind eye to these types of offences in the sake of keeping our nation safe."
