And you've never lived in Canada before and want to live in Canada now?My mother was an unwed Canadian when I was born in the States. She later wed an American, and he adopted me.
I grew up in a border town. That's basically it.

I went through a name change myself but in Ontario but at the beginning of the year. Filled the form electronically then printed it and mailed it to IRCC.Hi
I have 2 question.
I'm canadian citizen and in process of legal name change(alberta), just wondering is there any option for submit proof of certificate online? I saw checklist which mentioned paper file or online submission.
If yes can you please share link or process for online submission.
Secondly is it illegal to travel with old name( old canadian passport but new name on all other id's) until you get new passport ?
Thanks
Sounds good! thanks for quick response.I went through a name change myself but in Ontario but at the beginning of the year. Filled the form electronically then printed it and mailed it to IRCC.
Passport Canada will not give you a new passport with the new name until you have a new certificate with the new name, they do not recognize a provincial legal change of name. In the meantime, I travelled so many times with a passport that had my old name on it with no problems at all.
Np. They don't take away the old one. They cancel it and give it back to you.Sounds good! thanks for quick response.
I think after new citizenship certificate, I'll apply for new passport and surrender old passport.
