艾伯塔省将成为加拿大第一个从2026年秋季起在驾驶执照和身份证上增加强制性公民身份标记的省份,这些标记被称为“CAN”。 Alberta will become the first Canadian province to add mandatory citizenship markers—displayed as "CAN"—to driver's licenses and identification cards, starting in fall 2026. 改革的目的是简化获得学生援助、医疗保健和残疾支助等服务的途径,同时通过确保只有加拿大公民才能投票来保障选举的完整性。 The change aims to streamline access to services like student aid, healthcare, and disability support, while also safeguarding election integrity by ensuring only Canadian citizens can vote. 新的或续签执照需要证明公民身份,不增加任何费用。 Proof of citizenship will be required for new or renewed licenses, with no additional cost. 艾伯塔省保健护理数量也将增加到许可证中,以帮助发现欺诈性登记或身份不明的登记。 Alberta health care numbers will also be added to licenses to help detect fraudulent or unknown registrations. 非公民,包括永久居民,将不会收到任何新的标记。 Non-citizens, including permanent residents, will not receive any new markings. 这一行动是在对省级身份证进行更广泛的重新设计之后采取的,并引发了关于官僚主义、隐私和潜在歧视的辩论。 The move follows a broader redesign of provincial IDs and has sparked debate over bureaucracy, privacy, and potential discrimination.
