Here’s My Letter of explanation.


To,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
Subject: Letter of Explanation – Name Error by IRCC
Dear Officer,
I am writing this letter to explain my concern regarding “a name mistake on passport request letter” for
my super visa application. Application was submitted on 2024/05/28. Passport request letter was
received on 2024/06/20, with mistake of Given Name, even though name is correct on application
summary and in the application submission acknowledgment letter "IMM5739 E (02-2021) GCMS".
IRCC mistakenly put maiden name “Wrong name” on the passport request letter
instead of given name & surname provided with application as per passport (passport number) stated below;
Given name / First name:
Surname / Last name :
Several webforms have been sent on the same day and after passport request letter was issued. There
has been no response from IRCC on this concern. I am uncertain if a new passport request letter will be
issued.
Due to the information on IRCC website stating that “webform response will not be received from IRCC
if application is within normal processing time” and “failure to submit the passport within 30 days of
passport request letter will result in application refusal”, I am left with no choice but to send the
passport with following documents:
• Passport request letter, Letter of explanation, Application acknowledgement letter, Webform
confirmation, pages of submitted application summary stating my name, and other relevant
documents.
I am uncertain if visa application center (VFS Global India) will send above documents along with
passport request letter. If not, please review the same on file.
Please let me know should you require any additional information. Additionally, please advise on further
steps if IRCC will issue a new letter while this is being processed, as the new letter will have its own 30
days of time limit.
Sincerely,
Hello Jay21
My father went for in person interview and also added a letter of explanation along with the package .. we went to VFS in person they took the passport but dint take the letter of explanation ?

Now the passport is submitted without letter of explanation.What will happen ? Please share your situation.

I am going crazy over this situation.Called IRCC before and they asked to wait for getting the corrected PPR request.Inspite of that now we have submitted the wrong PPR request letter and passport without Letter of Explanation.

It should be fine. No need to worry. If you have sent webform they will correct name on portal. Check it once a day. They won’t issue new PPR. Only way is to submit with or without explanation letter. Issue will only happens if the mistake is from your side not from IRCC

hey ,
Did any of you get the name on your PPR right and wrong on the TRV stamp—they made a mistake at IRCC. I’ve already sent in two webforms but haven’t heard back yet.
