Astasti I was wondering if an affidavit can work for verification of your name change?
Hi deepdeep,
I found this on CIC website:

What must I do if I cannot get a police certificate for my immigration application?
You must send two documents with your application:
1. a written explanation; and
2. an original letter from the police confirming they will not issue a certificate.
I hope our police/passport office can at least give this letter to submit to CIC. Plus I found few applicants who got PR without submitting PCC for some countries but their applications all date back to 2011 and could not come across any incidents in the last year.
