Institutional structure
To promote accountability and clarity, functions are separated across three domains:
Mission
Legally Aligned Digital Facilitation
IDAZ09 Canada exists to support structured and accessible digital administration by providing interfaces, workflow guidance, and technical facilitation for identity and entity processes.
The platform does not confer legal status, determine eligibility, or exercise sovereign, regulatory, or enforcement authority—unless expressly authorised by enacted legislation and formal written authorisation.
All determinations of legal status, entitlement, eligibility, or rights remain vested in the relevant federal, provincial, territorial, or statutory authority.
Mission
Purpose
IDAZ09 Canada provides digital infrastructure designed to:
- Support structured identity and verification workflows
- Facilitate secure digital submissions
- Assist users in understanding administrative requirements
- Maintain clear separation between platform design and public authority
Operational scope is subject to applicable legislation and any authorising frameworks established by government.
International and Domestic
Identity and Entity Services
IDAZ09 Canada provides digital interfaces designed to help users navigate identity and entity workflows in Canada—such as document preparation, structured declarations, and submission guidance (where permitted).
Digital identity and wallet technologies may support verification and transaction workflows when adopted by authorised institutions. IDAZ09 Canada does not represent that any government policy, entitlement, or “official wallet” is provided by this platform.
Any use of this platform does not substitute independent legal advice or instructions issued by authorised agencies.
Technology Development
IDAZ09 Corporation
- Designs and develops digital platforms and technical infrastructure
- Supplies systems that may be used by government and non-government entities
- Does not exercise sovereign authority or regulatory powers
Service Platform
IDAZ09 Canada
- Provides structured digital interfaces for identity and eligibility workflows
- Supports users in understanding service access requirements
- Operates within domestic legal frameworks
- Does not replace or override statutory authorities
Standards Coordination
IIESA (INTERGOV Initiative)
- Facilitates dialogue on interoperability standards
- Supports cross-border cooperation principles
- Does not supersede national legislative authority
IIESA coordination does not create supranational authority.
Service Divisions
IDAZ09 Canada maintains two functional divisions to support service design and user clarity.
Domestic Division
Supports Canadian citizens and residents in navigating digital identity and administrative workflows under domestic legislation and agency requirements.
International Division
Provides structured guidance for international visitors, migrants, and temporary residents engaging with identity and administrative processes while present in Canada.
Both divisions operate under the same legal framework but serve distinct user contexts.
Verification Support Framework
Eligibility determinations are governed by applicable legislation and administered by authorised bodies.
Digital systems may support verification processes; however:
- Documentation needs vary by agency and purpose
- A passport alone may not be sufficient evidence for some assessments
- Final determinations remain with authorised statutory bodies
- IDAZ09 Canada does not independently confer legal status or entitlements
Governance
Governance Principles
The IDAZ09 model is guided by:
- Clear separation of roles
- Respect for domestic law and democratic authority
- Transparency of system design
- Interoperability without diminishing sovereignty
- Accessibility for diverse user groups
- Accountability through structured records and audit trails (where permitted)
Final operational controls and any authority (if any) are determined only by the relevant authorising government within each jurisdiction.
Ethical Digital Transactions
IDAZ09 supports discussion of governance approaches designed to improve integrity in electronic transactions—such as clearer declarations, better auditability, and responsibility allocation.
Where policy concepts are discussed, they are not operative unless enacted by Parliament and formally adopted by relevant agencies.
