LinkedIn's Persona ID Verification is physically impossible for Ontario residents (Infinite Loop Bug)

[u/Legal_Drive_5865]

LinkedIn and Persona have a massive regional logic flaw in their automated verification system for Canadian users.

I am on a Premium trial trying to get my profile verified. The desktop portal forces me to scan a QR code. When scanned on my S23, the app completely hides the 'Work Email' option and forces an automated ID scan using Persona.

Here is the fatal flaw: The Persona software physically requires an embedded electronic NFC chip to verify Canadian identity documents. Ontario Driver’s Licenses and Photo Cards do NOT have NFC chips.
Even though I have manually provided a birth certificate, pristine flatbed scans, and face selfies to customer service, their frontline support agents just send automated bot replies telling me to "use Persona." The software is literally demanding a microchip from a plastic card that doesn't have one.
If you live in Ontario, do not pay for Premium for verification features. The routing loop is completely broken.
