 Information provided by Canadian residents to the Canada Revenue Agency will only be shared with Elections Canada if the resident consents to such a transfer in their income tax and benefits return . If consent is granted , the Canada Revenue Agency will provide the resident 's " name , address , date of birth , and Canadian citizenship information " . Bill C @-@ 31 introduced an amendment to the Act to ensure that tax filers consenting to their personal information being included in the National Register of Electors are Canadian citizens ; before this change , it was possible for non @-@ citizen taxpayers to consent , and thus be included in the National Register of Electors , despite not being an eligible elector .
