Canada's border agency is about to shake up the way it tracks sex and gender information — which could lead to some awkward conversations with Washington. Apart from the NEXUS card, the Canada Border Services Agency also issues ID cards for the Fast and Secure Trade Program (FAST) and corporate pilots. The PCO report says a policy update also would bring the federal government in line with provinces that have made changes already. The PCO report said implementation of the new gender identifier policy could take years and would have significant financial and operational impacts. The federal policy change also would affect military IDs, permanent resident and Indian Status cards, work permits, firearm licences and police record check letters.
