I wasn't there so I can't say it's racially motivated for sure but what I can say is that passports have much more reliable ways of telling if they're forged than a typo.
Wouldn't a typo invalidate the passport as a form of ID?
Then they should say "we can't accept this because of the discrepancy, do you have another form of ID." Canadian passports have a chip in them, I don't know for sure if the bank would be able to read it but at the very least least its existence along with watermarks should be enough to give someone the benefit of the doubt that they're not a criminal.
The article is pretty clear. They took her documents, acted like nothing was wrong but they needed a signature on something else, and an hour later see sees them talking to police outside.
I get that. Is there any procedure for handing back official documents with errors like this?
I tried finding Canada's procedures on passports with typos but all I could find was how to get it fixed.
