How does Service Canada confirm my identity when I apply on-line for the WEPP?

Service Canada has put a number of safeguards in place to prevent identity fraud. For example, if you use our on-line service to apply for WEPP, you will be asked to provide us with your Social Insurance Number (SIN), your name and your date of birth. This information is then verified against the data contained in your SIN record.
