Hi,
Last month, I submitted adult name change application (to add surname). But they have returned my application because my guarantor was a signing officer from a bank (not a manager). But as per below details, our guarantor can be a manager or signing officer.
Guidelines:
Part 4 – Proving How Long You Have Lived in Ontario You must have been ordinarily a resident of Ontario for at least 12 months immediately before submitting your change of name application. Part 4 is used to prove you have been ordinarily resident in Ontario for at least the past 12 months. You must find a guarantor who will confirm how long you have lived in Ontario. To be considered ordinarily resident, you must have maintained a residential address, with the intention of that being considered your permanent address in Ontario for 12 consecutive months immediately before making your application. Even if you were born in Ontario, you must still meet the residency requirement before applying. Only absences of a temporary nature are allowed. If you have questions about whether you meet the residency requirement, please contact our office. Any of the following people who know that you have been ordinarily resident in Ontario for at least the past 12 months can be a guarantor: 1. Provincial judges appointed under the Courts of Justice Act. 2. Justices of the peace appointed under the Justices of the Peace Act. 3. Chiefs of Indian bands that are located in Ontario. 4. Persons authorized under the Marriage Act to solemnize marriages. 5. Legally qualified medical practitioners. 6. Members of the Law Society of Upper Canada. 7. Heads of Municipal Councils in Ontario. 8. Clerks of municipalities in Ontario. 9. Principals of elementary and secondary schools, as defined in the Education Act. 10. Managers or signing officers of Ontario branches of banks listed in Schedule I or II of the Bank Act (Canada), loans corporations, trust corporations, credit unions and caisses populaires. The list above is not an endorsement by the Office of the Registrar General of professional status or recognition of superior qualifications. If you can’t identify anyone from this list to act as a guarantor, you must find someone other than a relative who has known you for at least five years, and knows that you have been ordinarily resident in Ontario for at least the past 12 months.
Do I need Manager's signature for this?
