hello everyone,
I'm applying for acitizenship certificate for my son, who's just born in China. I wish to put an English first name on the certificate, which isn't shown on his birth certificate in Chinese.
It says in the Guide:"
Name change
This section applies to you if:
- If you have legally changed your name within Canada
- If you have legally changed your name outside Canada and are residing in Canada
- If you have legally changed your name outside Canada and are residing outside Canada"
But the thing is, I can't legally change his name into an English one in China, nor can I change his name in Canada without obtaining the citizenship ceitificate first.
Does anyone have an idea how name change is done under this circumstance? Thank you all.
