PNP Applicants - October 2015

Guys

Is the affidavit is essential for the change in name.... the marriage certificate is not enough in which old names are written. Then spouse has a passport with new name.

Please advise. Further, is there any particular format for affidavit. Can anyone share any format/template..

Also, is it necessary to get the medicals done from the doctors/clinic/hospitals that are mentioned on CIC website.

Cheers

Yes! I am sorry, I don't have a template.

Yes, you have to do the medicals there, as they can send your results directly to CIC.

Best of luck!

Thanks for the list. I seek a clarification -

Two copies of digital photos and need to write photographer's name on the back? Should I scan two copies of photos and the back of the photo for uploading?

I have checked the requirements for digital photo in the checklist generated by CIC and below is what is required. No need to write photographer's name etc and scan.

Dimensions:

The final frame size of the photo must be at least 35 mm x 45 mm (1 3/8" x 1 ¾").
The photographs must show the full front view of the head, with the face in the middle of the photograph, and include the top of the shoulders.
The size of the head, from chin to crown, must be between 31 mm (1 ¼") and 36 mm (1 7/16").
Digital dimensions are often expressed in pixels or DPI (dots per inch). The physical dimensions in pixels must be at least 420 x 540.

Quality/Resolution:

If an existing photo is being scanned, the minimum resolution must be 600 pixels per inch.

File Format:

The file may be submitted in JPEG or JPEG2000 format.

File Size:

The final size of the image should be ideally 240 kB (kilobytes), but not less than 60 kB.
Colour:

The image must be in color (24 bits per pixel) in sRGB colour space which is the common output for most digital cameras.

Actually, I didn't experience that situation myself. Did CIC place any instructions for the affidavit?

I read one of the checklists posted here in the forum that Affidavit is required if the names is changed...

 

[darklord]

From the CIC checklist, after the ITA, about what employment record (work experience letter and pay stubs (if available) should include):

Document: Employment Records

You must provide proof of work experience for your current job and for each past position you listed. Proof must include a reference letter from your employer and pay stubs, if you have them. The reference letter must:
be an official document printed on company letterhead
include your name, the company’s contact information (address, telephone number and e-mail address), the signature of your immediate
show all positions held while employed at the company
include these details: job title, duties/responsibilities, job status (if current job), the dates you worked for the company, the number of work hours per week and your annual salary plus benefits.
You must scan all documents for this period of employment and save them as one file. (You must create a separate file for each period of employment.)

 

[Gego2]

I read one of the checklists posted here in the forum that Affidavit is required if the names is changed...

Yeah, I agree. Are there any additional instructions related?

 

[sadeelhaneef]

Yeah, I agree. Are there any additional instructions related?

I found no instructions on cic website so far.... there are instructions for change in name for those who are applying for canadian citizenship... I am trying to find out whether a notarized affidavit is enough to provide a change of name with marriage certificate (which tells old names)...

Hello, what is your reference for this generic list?
It may help sadeelhaneef to know more information about the affidavit..

Till now, I couldn't find an evidence that I can avoid uploading my spouse's work experience/ education, known that I have not claimed points for these factors. Do you have any references for that too?

Name Difference Affidavit is prepared by lawyers and signed for by notary public, for example in India. I am not aware of other countries on how its done there. There is not specific format for this. Essentially affidavit is a sworn statement in-front of notary. You can prepare a word document that details the name differences and take it to a lawyer, he will help you preparing affidavit.

All the best.
