Hi All

I have never been to Canada and need to know if my parents ever applied for me as a child so I can provide accurate information on my visa application. How can I find out if I have a client id assigned to me or not?

Thanks
Ijaz

My first name has CHANGED.

Should I apply as a new applicant and just assume there is no IRCC record?

Thanks

Did you legally change your first name recently?

You must state your previous first name, any aliases or nicknames, any maiden or married names (as applicable) in the relevant section of the TRV application form.

The simplest solution would be to ask your parents if they had applied to immigrate or applied for a temporary visa when you were a minor.

If it is not possible to ask your parents, you can include a 1-2 sentence explanation in your TRV application that would say you are not aware if your parents had filed any visa application when you were a minor + when you had a different first name

Yes, I changed my name legally.

Basically, I had a FIRST, MIDDLE and LAST NAME.

I dropped the FIRST NAME.

Now my MIDDLE NAME is my FIRST NAME.

I guess I will put a little explanation in my application.
