Hi Asivad,

My husband is self-employed and he has registered his organization in 2000. for supporting document, can i provide the certificate of proprietorship concern alone or any other docs required? Pl help.

That document alone won't budge. I think you must provide letters about your service from clients as well. Plus, tax papers and other documents that you might have to prove that the business is indeed yours .

what about bank statement for past 6 months in his current account and a bank certificate with date of opening the account?

That documentation is for Proof of Funds.

This is what is available to prove work experience for self employed applicants.

if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income, and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).

Hi asivad,
Got a letter yesterday asking for an FBI clearance certificate. I have not stayed for 6 months or more in the states but I frequently traveled for trainings and to visit my family. The guide states that they require pcc only if you have stayed for 6 consecutive months- that's why I have not requested and submitted such document.

Now, it will take 11 to 13 weeks for the processing from b the date they receive my fingerprints. The letter says they're giving me 30 days to submit the document.

How do I send a request for extension and how will I let them know that they need to revise the guide for pcc since they're asking it even if I haven't stayed in there for 6 consecutive months or more -www(dot)cic(dot)gc(dot)ca/english/immigrate/skilled/invitations(dot)asp

Thanks

Apply for the FBI PCC right away and send CIC the proof of application. Also tell them politely that this is going to take 13 weeks time.

People have got multiple extensions.

Hi Rajkamal,

Thanks for your replies...I am the principal applicant here. My husband is not. Does the above still hold good?

Marriage certificate isn't sufficient documentation, in itself, to be a valid 'legal' change of name document. If you have legally changed your name after marriage, you would already have the required documentation and you can submit that. If all you did was adopt your husband's surname for certain documents while on other documents you continue to retain your maiden surname, that might work in certain countries but it wouldn't work in Canada. You'll have to either get your name legally changed as per the policies in force in your country (this would require you to get your name changed on each of your documents so that you will end up with a revised set of documents, all of which will be in your new name) or get a notarized affidavit prepared which declares that it is the same person with multiple names appearing across various documents and proves this by attaching those documents as reference (these documents would naturally include marriage certificate, passport, birth certificate etc).

Thank you Asivad Anac,
We need these documents for my wife's form at the time when I'm the main applicant.
All she did was the adoption of my(husband's) surname(for ex.Johnson) after our marriage.
For instance, before the marriage her full name was Anna Smith, and after - Anna Johnson.

Our marriage certificate clearly says that wife's surname changed from Smith to Johnson.
In addition to this, all her documents such as Passport/Travel Document and National ID were reissued after marriage with her new name Anna Johnson.

In our country(Russia) the only proof that her surname was changed(in such case) is a Marriage Certificate.

So, I don't now what else I should upload..?? I always thought that to upload Marrige Certificate would be enough.

The work experience of the secondary applicant is not considered for points if that experience was not gained in Canada.

In that case, no problem. he doesn't even have to disclose this in the employment section. It is enough if he discloses this in the personal history section.

Thanks a lot!!!

Well, IMO, I think this will do. In addition to this, if you can get a notarized affidavit that says "The name change was only because of Marriage", would be solid.

AM_008 - You need submit an affidavit stating that the name has changed before marriage and the documents may contain her pre-marital name as well as her name post marriage.

It should be notarized as well. I have done the same thing as the educational documents, bank statement, experience letters differed from the other documents like passport / IELTS.

Thank you for your advice, but I think you do not understand my situation a little bit.
My wife's surname has changed not before marriage. On the day of the wedding, she officially took my surname. All this information(her maiden surname and her new(my) surname) is written in our marriage certificate.

It's logical that the only official document that can proof surname changes because of marriage - is a Marriage Certificate. So, I'm going to translate it in English with affidavit, scan everything and upload as Legal Name Change Doc.
