Nick/preferred name is legally allowed to add into citizenship cert.?

[alexdive]

Hey guys,
[My sister's question]
Just wondering if she is allowed to add a middle name/preferred name once has done oath?

Both her's first and last name are very difficulty to pronounce that's why she doesn't want to change her legal full name but just wants to add a nick/preferred name into her citizenship cert. and passport.

Please advise,

Thank you!

To do that, she would have to apply for a legal name change to have that preferred name "legally" added as part of her name.

Name changes are done through your provincial government. For Alberta, see http://www.servicealberta.gov.ab.ca/1490.cfm.
