I think it totally depends on the province. I lived in ON for a short while and I got the feeling that their health care would not be very flexible if you wanted to change something but in AB on the other hand, I would believe that they give you some flexibility. Actually I have heard of people who have made some adjustments to their name on their health cards. However, the AB health card doesn't have a picture so it's not really a valid ID. I would think it's a bigger question if you can get a drivers license with the names in different order and I am not sure that you can.

Yes, when you get a new passport, you can probably use that to change everything else. Send immigration copies of your old passport, new passport and every document you have that supports your case. I think immigration might be the biggest problem, I don't think the SIN card will be a big deal.

Thanks for your feedback

From your post Should i assume that i can convince the officer who issue health card and SIN CARD to use my correct name on the card

Will my alberta health card will be as per my correct name if i show them all my educational documents,driving license,indian birth certificate etc

Thanks
