Hi everyone,
In my wife's sponsorship application (I'm the sponsor), I'm planning on adding a letter of explanation about my legal name which has been shortened in Canada. The names below are just examples.
- Legal Name in my home country and marriage certificate: John Smith Doe
- Legal Name in Canada: John Doe
As per the example above, the "first" last name has been removed from my legal name in Canada but remains as part of my legal name in my home country and on my marriage certificate. I'm planning on attaching to the application the "certificate of name change" and a "letter of explanation" explaining that my last name has been shortened in Canada but has not changed in my home country and that's why the marriage certificate shows the "full" name.
Do you see any issues with this approach?
