See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=014&top=4@legalfalcon Filling up my application and need your help on the same.
My birth name had only a first name 'Dara' and no last name - I legally changed my name in 2009 through legal affidavit (India) to 'Dara Bendre'. Now when I try to fill my previous name it does not allow me to proceed without entering both first name and last name. I have tried to research on the CIC site as well as other forums but the responses are varied. Can you pls help and let me know what to input for my old first name and last name.
Should I write -
(1) first name 'Dara' and last name 'Dara'
(2) first name 'Dara' and last name 'NA'
(3) first name 'Dara' and last name 'Not Applicable'
(4) first name 'NA' and last name 'Dara'
(5) first name 'Not applicable' and last name 'Dara'
.. any other?
Thanks in advance
Your surname is your family name. It is also called your “last name.” When filling out applications, type your surname as it appears on your passport, travel or identity document.
Do not use initials.
If you do not have a family name on your passport, travel or identity document, enter all your given name(s) in the surname field and leave the given name field blank. Do not enter “Not applicable,” “*” or “NA.”
