I strongly and vehemently disagree .... after I have read your lines of ' resident of.... ' . Please be informed that in all legal documents , court papers and affidavits , once a lady is married (at least India Im sure of) she is always (and legally needed) to put her name as ... w/o ... r/o ..(address of her husband). On the contrary a male is just referred as ... s/o ... r/o ... and in no case 'husband of .... ' .

Its an international practice (possibly legal also) that the wife acquires the name of her husband post marriage and CHC acknowledges this as long as both the maiden name and married name are mentioned in the marriage certificate.


Goud , I think its better that you email CHC N Delhi .They respond back in 24 hours . As a safe alternative , get the PCC first , then change the name in the passport before applying under married name . As long as your marriage certificate and passport show the conversion of family name , there should be no problem .

Now I get it ... what I was missing earlier ...

You are commenting based upon your understanding and without an insight in the legal system ...... Legalities work differently my dear .... you may be born in 75 but if your certificate says 76 ..... you are 76 born .

Anyways I wont waste my time on such gibberish ... I ve got better things to do.



To others and readers of this thread .... I ve already stated what I meant earlier . This needs to be checked with legal experts / CHC / Passport office also to be doubly sure .

Goud, Fido and Blabber,
I had the same confusion about name change and since I didnt get proper guidance about how changing my wife's name to married name will affect the sponsorship application, we applied with the maiden name NOT the married name.

She had all the educational documents, passport, PCC, marriage certificate and other supporting documents with her maiden name and we got the PR visa in 3 months. After she came to Canada, the PR card, SIN card, health card and drivers license were issued with her maiden name.

If we still need to get her name changed, I will start by changing the Drivers license, followed by Health card, passport and the supporting document for that will be our Marriage certificate ( even an official name change certificate). We did this just to avoid any delays in processing the sponsorship application. Hope this information helps.

Regards
MS
