Hi to all here. I would really appreciate some advice and input on my queries so please help naman po. My Canadian husband and I got married last Dec. 2, 2011, i had change all my documents even my passport under my maiden name (i am annulled and my Canadian husband is divorced) before our marriage took place. The ff. are my questions.

* Will I be using my married name now to the Spousal Application (Family Class)? Or I can still use my single name since it is what in my passport?

* I just had my medical exam done in St. Lukes and they based on my passport name.


We're hoping to submit our application by end of this month once i got the NSO copy of our Marriage Certificate. Thank you and God Bless to All.
Hi, in my case, since i still have my passport name under my maiden name, un pa din ginamit ko sa forms (since nakalagay dun exactly as it is on ur passport) pero sponsor kasi ako. Ikaw ata is the applicant. But, dun sa form, ung sa may ichcheck if u have other names, i checked yes and put in my married name. I have asked around if this wil be a problem in any way eh hnd naman daw. Sana nga hnd, heheheh ;D

Been reading lots of appeal cases in Canlii website lately ( http://canlii.org/en/index.php ) and its really educational to have an insight as to how VO's study and analyze sponsorship applications and how they decide whether to dismiss or allow an appeal, lalo na sa mga suspected MOC. pero nakakaparanoid din kasi makikita dun na tlga pa lang napaka critical at detail oriented ng mga VO, it makes me want to recheck again and aigain and again our application , hehe. Try it if u have spare time guys. Better yet, refine your search by "Philippines, marriage, genuine, immigration" and mababasa niyo mga naaappeal na cases from Pinas. :)

I don't know how you can qualify as spouse or whatever if your passport shows that you are single or married to another name. Secondly, previous registered marriages may appear in the certificate of NSO.

Please remember that change in marital status for whatever reason MUST be reported to CIC in writing immediately, and failure to inform CIC of such changes may render you and family members inadmissible to Canada. In fact this does not only apply to you but also to other persons included in the application, if similar changes occur. In your case, wherein you have not yet submitted your application, you could be cited in the future for withholding true information at the time of application. Later on, you may be required to submit more proofs of relationship. Your passport info may cause you problems as to why it does not show that you are married to your sponsor.

Please think this over. Shortcuts could do more harm than good. What a big problem if the info conflicts are discovered (and they will) in the final stage of processing.

@ G.Ysabelle
Just a piece of advice If I were you change your passport first before filling your application. Since that your already married to your sponsor you have to use his last name in all your documents. I did the same thing I went to SCTS Makati for my medical but I showed them my passport under my single status but during those time I'm a newly wed but still I told them that I wanted to use my husband last name.
After my medical they gave me the Copy 2 plus receipt showing my name and the last name of my hubby.
Because that Copy 2 you'll need to send the original copy to your sponsor and he will attach that in your applications no worries if all your applications or documents are the same using your husband's last name.

May 5, 2011- wedding
May 14, 2011- DFA set online reservation passport appointment and I got July
May 26, 2011- medical
May 28, 2011- went to CFO to attend seminar, DFA requirements before changing your last name in passport (for Canadian Citizen spouses)
July 11, 2011- my appointment date in DFA Macapagal Road
July 25, 2011- Passport delivered by AIR21

@G. Ysabelle
Hi,

We had the same issue except that on my application I used my previous married name, got annulled before we got married too . What my husband did is submit all of our papers to CIC including our marriage cert from NSO showing our marriage and because I was an OFW I couldn't change my passport right away but he asked CIC and they advised him that I could change my passport up until the passport request from CEM so long as I supplied both the old and the new passport with my new name.

I hope this helps. Show that both papers are you but if you still have the chance it"s better to change your passport anyway to your new name. at this point of time I am now waiting for my new passport under my husband's name. I hope to have it before the ppr request.
God bless!!!
