7 weeks to get approved. Guarantor was my family doctor. Paid a lawyer to be notary.

I'm a citizen. I just had my legal name change application (Ontario) approved. I'm trying to understand sequence / priority of key documents that I'd need to update. Driver's License and Health Card (Service Ontario) - this is the document I'd need to use to change my name in various other...

I do for various personal reasons.

I am already a citizen and live in Ontario. I have a TN visa for occasional work trips to the US. I need to change my surname. My surname will become my middle name, and my family name will become my new surname. How straightforward or quick is the name change process? Who do I need to...

I had my interview, and got 20/20 (I think practically everyone got 20/20 in fact). It was too easy, so to those who are worried, you don't need to be. However, I have traveled quite a lot for work in the past (and documented every single trip clearly). The officer mentioned that it will take a...
