Dear Friends,
I am an IT engineer from India (Punjab). I am working here in Canada on a permanent job for last 1.5 years and with the new changes in CEC class criteria, i believe i will soon be eligible to apply for my PR. The issue as with many of us is Birth Certificate.
I was born in a small town in Punjab 29 years ago. My parents gave me a temporary name at the time of birth and the same was recorded in my Birth certificate as well as in the registers of municipality office.
However, when i was admitted to school, that name was never ever used. So, my situation is - My birth certificate is on a name which i never ever used. All my educational documents starting from my first day at school till now everywhere it is my real name and not the dummy name used in the birth certificate.
Understanding that i will need to submit a birth certificate for PR application, i went to India in the summer and went to the municipality office and explained them the situation. The answer i get is - "It can not be corrected".
I am now working with some agents who may help me in getting this mess corrected, but i haven't yet got a positive response that yes it will be done. So, i wanted to share this with you all to help me with any suggestion or if anyone of you faced similar situation and what you did.
Best Regards.
