Hi,

My name was changed before I came to Canada as landed immigrant. All Canadian documents show new name. I think I don't need to provide any legal documents. Anyone, any idea?
My wife changed name after marriage but it was before she came to Canada as landed immigrant. All Canadian documents show new name and passport from my country with new name. Do I need to provide marriage certificate??

Can I use the signature in Citizenship form that I never used (signature will be different from landing paper, canadian driver license etc.)?

Thanks

Does your landing document have old name or new name?

If you don't mind me asking, what was your country of origin where you got your name changed?

Check the Name Change section under the following link:
