Dear [requester]/Madam,
I would like to request your consideration in clarifying the following situation:
My client is a permanent resident currently in [requester] are two issues at hand.
1. The client has legally changed their name in [requester] client's passport has not yet been updated to reflect the new name, and
currently has the old name. The client's PR Card also has the old name. The client intends to travel to Canada
based on the old passport and old PR card ( so that they can apply for a new PR Card afier landing in
Canada to reflect the new name. As per IRCC's guidelines, where an application for a new PR Card is being made from within
Canada - because ofa legal name change made outside Canada - IRCC would need a foreign passport or national
authoritative document indicating the new name, and an official document linking the old and new names. Under the :
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act or the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, there is no definition of
what a national authoritative document is,
With this background, the questions for you are:
A. What constitutes a "national authoritative document"?
B, Can an Aadhaar Card issued by the Government of India be sufficient to establish identity as a national
authoritative document? [ Here's a link to the official website of Aadhar cards issued by Government of India -
www.tidai.gov.infen’ |
2. The client's father, mother and brother hold valid temporary resident visas and do not have any status in [requester] of them
have legally changed their name as well in [requester] this background, the questions here are:
C. How can the client update the name change of every family member in their immigration records?
D. Can the client's brother, mother and father travel to Canada on a new passport [with new name] while also
carrying along the old passport [with a valid visa and the old name]?
Thank you very much for your clarification.
