I received three PR card out of 4 family members. What to do?
My full name is Nirmalendu Bikash Bhowmik but in PR card it came as Nirmalendu Bika Bhowmik? Do I need to contact CIc for correction?
1. They are all mailed separately, so wait for a week or 2 for the 4th one, if it doesn't arrive, phone the call centre.
2. It is correct, as you have too many letters in your name for the PR card. The system still contains your correct name as well as your COPR.
Surname: 20 characters maximum Given name: 15 characters maximum
This space limitation corresponds to the data field limitation in the CIC database. The CIC
database accepts a maximum of 20 characters for the family name and 15 characters for
the given name. If a name is longer, the name on the PR card will automatically be
shortened to the first 20 and 15 characters, respectively. The full name is to be recorded
in the “Remarks” box of the Confirmation of Permanent Residence form [IMM 5292B].
