That's why CHC issued you with a travel permit. And because you asked. |

Is it fair that an Chinese PR needs one, but a German PR doesn't? The card is supposed to quash a two-tier PR system.

Yes I have noticed this. I wasn't overly happy giving it up anyway, it does sound like a lot of hassle. Thought about doing the double barrelled thing but it just doesn't work. Its still seems quiet a tradition in the UK. I am in no hurry, I will do it eventually though.
One thing I do need to do is get a will. |

Actually, if you get married in Quebec, you have to keep your maiden name unless you go through all the rigmarole of changing it by deed poll. Not that it makes much difference. Quebec has the country's lowest marriage rate after Nunavut and by quite a long way. We also have the highest shack-up rate, at 30% of couples (three times the national average) and easily the highest divorce rate (roughly 50%).
Does that mean I am considered a Mz/ Ms or would they still say Mrs ---Maiden name? |

Junk mail, cold callers and shop assistants often use Monsieur and Madame. Cold callers will also often use our names and nothing else. I have no knowledge of there being a French equivalent of Ms. The term "Madame" is not an indicator of marital status. It just means you're too old to be a mademoiselle. |

IMO, just use Ms Maiden name - it's the norm in Canada for women your age. Miss and Mrs are considered quite old fashioned.

Re: Confused
My wife is canadain and made all the changes to me MrsK. Its fairly normal round here, although we know people who didnt bother (usually for professional reasons). Nothing to do with me by the way, I didnt really care either way (as long as shes vaguely nice to me;))

If you then get divorced & remarried, you get all your names on the paperwork, including the previous married name....:mad: Right, rant over, pleased there may be a chance I get known by my actual name name when I finally get to emigrate. :D |
Re: Confused
My problem is that i changed my first name when i was about 14, so many, many, years ago. All my UK documents except my passport used the new first name, but since i have been in Canada I cannot get anyone to use the name I am used to being called.
Even my family use it so when i hear my childhood name being used i rarely realise its me- and when i do i think I'm being told off! you know the thing when your mum uses your full name to make you realise just how bad you have been. |
