If your home address and mailing address is the same, then write your proper home address in the home address section and in the mailing address, write the same address or write "Same as Home address"

For 6B, if you just landed as landed immigrant and never been to Canada before like on work permit or study visa etc. then write the same date in both the fields i.e. in 6A and 6B

Thanks a lot for your Reply Bro!!!

And also in the section of work and education history what should I mention if I took my lay off and a week later I went to India for 5 month and came back and applied for Employment insurance (was eligible for EI and had a plan to go to India) and few months later started working again.After that I have worked for few companies and have been laid off as there work was done but now working.
first time I worked at xyz for more than a year and told employer that I am going to India and he did let me go without asking any reason and came back after 4 month and he hired me again. So what should I mention in application for this also.

You need to mention the dates when you were working, when you were unemployed, when you were on EI etc. Basically you need to tell every single detail truthfully. The question is self explanatory so read it carefully again. Any time spent outside Canada like visit to India needs to be mentioned on "Online residence calculator"

Ok thanks brother .

Question no. 6 F - for describing your work and education history if you need more space, use an additional sheet of paper.
how do you do that what does it mean that print the same page of this question and keep describing and write continue on new page .

confused about the meaning of use an additional sheet of paper.

Take a blank page. Mention the question section number and the form number and write the details.

I am feeling out my application and I am stuck in the section 6 H (c) in work and education history because it ask me to enter only the year and month not the date. So if I started a job on 15th, April 2014 and got laid off on 15th, October 2015. But again I found a job after a week on 22nd , October 2015 in the same month and got laid off 21st, November 2015. And again Got a job after a week on 28th, November 2015 in the same month then how to mention it in work history.

So should it be like below I have mentioned?

From To
yyyy-mm yyyy-mm
2015-11 2016-12
2015-10 2015-11
2014-04 2015-10

If not then how to mention the work history if I have got laid off in month and got a job in same month again but I did not had a job for a week in the month so how to mention that period that I was unemployed.

I hope You guys understood what I am trying to ask here.

I think you are from toronto, right?

I live in BC and the rules for toronto might be different.

I went to vital statistics agency and submitted my application to get legal name change in Canada.
fingerprints were done.
then i got my legal name change certificate.
Then i went to service canada to get my name changed on sin card, then drivers license office to get drivers license changed and then i sent letter to health insurance british columbia to change my name on health card and then went to banks to change my name.
They all required to see my new name change certificate.
Then i filled in request to change PR card and got my new pr card to change my name.

Then applied with indian consulate to change my indian passport's name (it was all according to indian rules) like getting newspaper advertisement etc in two newspapers and waiting for atleast one month before i apply and indian consulate people wanted to have me change my pr card name before i change my name on indian passport.

Now it was in early 2012. now the rules might be different.

The whole process took almost 6 months (i dont remember exactly)

good luck.


You can legally change your name right now and send details to CIC once your name is changed while your application is in process.
This is what the link says:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/CIT0002ETOC.asp

Important information: Once processing of your application has begun a name change can only be made due to an administrative error made by the Department, a truncated (shortened) name on the immigration document or a legal change of name.

I don't see any issues with your old name affecting your citizenship application. however, cic may request more information in future if they feel necessary, may be fingerprint request just to be sure.

Hi,

I am facing similar issue. I have just one name on my PR card. I have got my passport modified with first name & last name both. Now I have applied for PR card renewal (just for name modification)

I don't know if this can be done.

Because of just the first name, I am being told that you can not get into any legal contract. I was unable to rent a car too because of single name on Driver's License.

You think Vital Statistics Agency would be able to help in my case. I think you changed it from within Canada to your country. Whereas I have initiated the process in opposite manner.

Any suggestions shall be highly appreciated.

Got this from the FAQ section:

I legally changed my name. How do I update my PR card?
You need to apply for a new PR card to change the name on your card. Make sure you include documents that support the change.
