Birth Certificate and Employment Social Development Canada

Canadian Human Rights Tribunal: Currently, someone who wants to make such a change has to provide a birth certificate or immigration document showing they have changed their sex designation from birth, according to Guelph Mercury. Since 2015, the department has allowed people to make the change in cases where a revised birth certificate isn't available. Employment and Social Development Canada says, among other things, social insurance number holders wouldn't need a new birth certificate to change the sex designation on their social insurance record. That happened just as the department headed to mediation at the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal after failing to easily allow Christin Milloy to change the designation on her record to female. Should mediation fail, the tribunal could force the government to stop collecting the information altogether. Milloy has argued the department doesn't need to collect the information at all.
