Hello All,
Applying for citizenship. My Indian passport has my full name in the given name and the last name is blank.

However in my all Canadian documents (PR card, COPR, Driver license) its exactly reversed: i.e., I have my full name in last name and the first name is blank.

What should I follow in my citizenship application in the name section? Should I write my name as in Indian passport or as in Canadian documents??

As in Canadian documents. They will not issue a Canadian passport with all info in given name/none in family name.
