Hi Seniors,

I have a query regarding Driving Licence ...My name as per my Indian Driving Lisc is for eg "Kim Nelson" and as per my Passport and Canadian Visa is "Kim Nelson Corbett"...so if I want to take advantage of getting an exemption on the first stage of Canadian DL (perhaps called G1) by showing the abstract of Indian DL then should it have changed/endorsed to "Kim Nelson Corbett" ?

or

I can make it work by giving a same name affidavit from India saying that "Kim Nelson " and "Kim Nelson Corbett" are one and the same person and get an exemption.

Regards
