Hello members
My father's name is different in my educational documents and the passport. In the passport it is "Kabeer Arshad Khan". However, in the educational documents it is written as "Kabeer Khan".

Please guide me what documents do I need to submit to CIC in this regard. A duly notarized affidavit of one and the same person alongwith an explanation in LOE will suffice or there are any other additional documents that I need to get?

Moreover, who should be the deponent of the affidavit? Do i need to include myself as deponent and my father's details as one and the same person or my father should be the deponent?

Thank you
Hello what you actually did?? M having the same situation. Please guide.

Hi, I am in the same situation. My mother's name is a little bit different on my passport and Birth Certificate compared to my Sister's passport and birth certificate.

Can someone please advise me to prove the sibling relationship, do I need to get the affidavit from Canada for my Mother's name, or should my mother need to get an affidavit from India about the same name?

Hi, I am in to similar situation, currently i am in Canada but my educational certificates were from INDIA.
In my WES report they mentioned as below as my full surname is not there in educational credentials, only initial is there.

"The names on one or more of the academic credentials submitted for evaluation differ from the name indicated
above."

So, I have few questions,
1. like when do we need this affidavit to explain to CIC
2. Who should authorize this
3. Where should i get this done, I am in Canada currently, but my education certificates from INDIA

Please share your thoughts on the same, Thank you.
Hello, I am in the same situation, were you able to get clarity on this?
