Hello,

My wife wants to change her last name to my last name when she arrives in Canada, can anyone tell me what the pros and cons would be by doing that for our traveling and her permanent residency? Will it also affect her being able to have property in Cuba? Any sort of info would be great.

Thanks
Brooksee

Still nervous about having no Option C Printout, but the way the Document Checklist phrases it, having no Option C isn't _immediate_ grounds for rejection, since they ask to explain why it wasn't included if you fail to send it. I sent them a letter explaining that I was in college, supported by my parents, and thus haven't had an income to file taxes on for the last 3 years or so. Included government Textbook/Tuition receipts, transcript, and my acceptance letter.

Anyone not have an Option C Printout that still got sponsorship approval?

Sure, anyone living overseas that sponsors a spouse. They don't have to file taxes, so they don't have an Option C.

Yes, us. We sent the UK equivalent, the P60 document.

P60 bein the UK equivalent to the Option C printout, I take it?

 

[zardoz]

About as close as we could get. Shows proof of employment income and tax paid.
It's not as all encompassing as an Option C but it's all we had.

@Mistahfixit
You don't need an Option C form. Just a letter of employment is fine. Remember the checklist is generic and not everything will apply to you. If you have t4 slips, send them too. We just had an employment letter and it was quite fibe

If she lands with her maiden name that will be the name on her Confirmation of Permanent Residency and (thus) her PR card. CIC will not change that.

Note that it is unlawful in some provinces for a woman to change her name due to marriage.
