Help - Passport number

Most passport numbers are 8 to 11 characters long. If the number you plan to enter is much shorter or longer than this, check that you are using the right number. Pay particular attention to the letter O and the number 0; and the letter I and the number 1.

Nationality
Help - Surname(s) / last name(s)

Last name is also known as family name.
First name is also known as given name.
Enter ALL name(s) as they appear on your passport.

Amended name

If your passport includes an amendment to your name(s) in the observations section, enter your name(s) as it appears in that section.

Apostrophes

If your name has an apostrophe, enter it on the form. Example: D'Orsay, O'Neil.

Order of names

Refer to the machine-readable zone on your passport (the portion below your photo and biographic information, sometimes called a "barcode") to confirm in what order you should enter your names on the application.

On the first line of that portion of your passport, you will most likely see a letter, a chevron (<), an abbreviation of your nationality, your family name, two chevrons (<<) and your given name(s).

Enter your last name (family name) as it appears in this part of your passport.

The name(s) listed after the double chevrons (<<) after your family name is/are your given name(s).

If your name(s) is/are shortened or cut off in this portion of your passport, but the full name(s) is spelled out in the upper portion of your passport, enter your name(s) as it/they appear(s) in the top portion. But always rely on the bottom portion to determine the order of your name(s).

Filial relationships

If your passport includes "son of" or "daughter of," or "bin" or "bint" and your father's name in the top or bottom portions of your passport, do not enter this text or your father's name in either of the name fields of the application form.

For example, if your passport indicates Ahmad bin Husain bin Muhammad in one field, please enter the Family Name as Husain and the Given Name as Ahmad.

If your passport indicates a filial relationship with "ibn," "ben" or "ould wuld," and your father's name in the upper or lower portions of the page, please do not enter this or your father's name in either name field when you are completing the application form.

For example, if your passport indicates Husain Ould Ahmad Ould Muhammad in one field, please enter the Family Name as Ahmad and the Given Name as Husain.

Only one name on passport

If there is only one name line on the passport, put the whole name in this answer field. Also known as "surname" or "family name".

Use of mother's, father's or ancestor's name

If the name on your passport includes the name of your mother, father, grandfather or earlier male ancestor in the machine-readable zone on your passport (the portion below your photo and biographic information, sometimes called a "barcode"), enter that spelling of your name on the application form.

Spousal relationships

If your passport shows "épouse de", "epse" or "ep." ("spouse of"), "wife of" or "husband of" in the top or bottom portions of your passport, do not enter this or the name of your spouse in either the last name or first name fields of the application form.

Example: if your passport shows Smith EP. Paul Sajan in the family name field, and John William in the given name field, enter Smith in the last name field and John William in the first name field.

Titles, prefixes, degrees, decorations

If your passport shows a title, prefix, suffix, professional or academic qualification, decoration, honour, award, or hereditary status, do not enter this on the application form, unless it is in the machine-readable zone of your passport (the portion below your photo and biographic information, sometimes called a "barcode").

A marriage must be recognized under the laws of the country where it was performed and under Canadian law.

Separated means that two people are married but no longer living together, and they do not wish to live together again.

Divorced means that a court has granted a divorce and that a marriage has ended. The two people are no longer married.

An annulled marriage is a marriage that is legally declared not valid. When a marriage is annulled, it means that the marriage was not valid from the beginning.
