Issue expiry-free Indian Status cards - we do NOT expire - change the renewal process!!!

The Issue

My status card "expired", the renewal process is too lengthy and unnecessary and un-accommodating. STATUS REGISTERED INDIANS should not have to re-apply for a card every FIVE years, furthermore we should NOT have to re-submit a birth certificate with each application.  Once you have been registered you should not have to jump through hoops each time.  I am looking for your support to petition Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada to change the process to receive a status card.  The status card is NOT a passport, we should NOT have to resubmit pieces of identification or a birth certificate, the system is flawed and prejudice.

Share this petition, take it to your communities, have as many people sign, take it to twitter and tweet to the Minister of INAC @MIN_INAC with the #wedonotexpire - talk to your Chief and Council, AFN NTL Chief @perrybelgarde - make your voices known - WEL'ALIOQ MST WEN - THANK YOU EVERYONE - GROS MERCI BEAUCOUP
