"How many people Canada-wide have got these?" Tomlinson asks. "It could be absolutely huge."Citizenship?! Hell... you don't even have to prove who you are.
His voter card, sent out based on his presence on a list compiled via Canada Revenue Agency, provincial registrars and other entities, is only an invitation. It doesn't allow him to vote, just tells him where and when to do so if he's Canadian.
But the card has weight because people are not asked to prove Canadian citizenship at polling stations; instead the onus is on them to know not to show up and vote.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Our son, who recently turned 18, received an invitation to register to vote from Elections Canada. It was addressed to him and 'or occupant'."Whatever happened to enumeration?
