Question

17 john meets with his agent to invest in a segregated fund contract to be held in his nonregistered account. john is making an initial deposit of $10,000. as per the pcmltfa regulations, the agent requests john to provide photo identification as he is physically present. john provides his canadian passport to the agent for verification. to verify john’s identity, the agent must ensure that the passport mentions all of the following, except a. a social insurance number b. an issuing authority c. a unique identifying number d. a validity period

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option in the context of passport - related identity verification for financial transactions (under PCMLTFA regulations). A social insurance number is not a field that a passport would mention for identity verification in this context. An issuing authority, unique identifying number, and validity period are all typical elements of a passport. So the option that the passport would not mention (the EXCEPT option) is the one with the social insurance number.

Answer:

a. A social insurance number
