Hi Everyone!
I have a question maybe Turkish friends can answer the best. I am a dual Canadian\Turkish citizen sponsoring my husband. When we got married in Turkey, I informed the Turkish authorities that I will use my maiden name together with my husband's last name. My Turkish identity card (nufus cuzdani) and our marriage certificate (evlilik cuzdani) show that I have two last names (maiden + husband's).
When I filled my forms I stated my full name as it is on my Canadian passport (my name + maiden name). I have not changed my name in my Canadian passport, I don't think this is mandatory. And when they asked me if I ever used another name, I said "yes" and mentioned my husband's last name. Is this action correct?
Thank you!
I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but I will explain what I understood and what is my answer.
you have your maiden name on Canadian passport, then recently you got married in Turkey so your name on marriage certificate and Turkish national card became your ( maiden + his last name ). Now, you are filling the sponsor forms and they are asking 2 questions
1- what is your name ? you answered as the name of your Canadian passport
2- did you ever have any other name ? you answer is " maiden + husband's"
if that's what you are saying, then My guess your answer is wrong because the question # 2 is referring to any names in the past prior to your maiden name, example if you were married before ...
If that's not what you are saying, then it would be good idea to list the form you are filling to make it easier to understand.
I hope that helps ..
