How Important Is Your Signature on Passport?

[htjam]

Hi

I'm going to submit my EE profile, but before that I noticed that my passport contains my old signature in my native language. I have changed my signature last year and my national identity card has the new signature.

The point I'm worried about is my marriage certificate and an affidavit for proof of funds contains new signature while my passport has the old one. Moreover, I came to know that during an international travel your passport is your identity and you must use the same signatures for any legal purpose abroad for e.g opening an bank account or signing a declaration at airport.

What are the CIC guidelines on this issue?

Should I get a notary attestation on affidavit declaring that I have change my signatures? and then renew my passport (expiring in 2020)? and draft an LOE stating the signature change issue.

Or

Should I Just submit my profile with my existing passport number?

Or

Should I submit my profile with my existing passport number and then later onward update my profile after getting ITA?


I have CRS 448 and expecting to get ITA.

Response from experienced members would be appreciated.

This is just my wild guess, and I'm no expert... But I have submitted my e-APR... My guess is relax, I don't think they give two damns. If you're so anxious, renew your passport then sign it with your new signature? I don't even know if I've signed my passport tbh.

Wish you luck.
