you can use any of the available types:

- record of landing number
- permanent resident card number
use any of them and put your data
regarding your questions:
Q: can I change my last name before reaching a decision to my application?
A: reach out to CIC and they'll give you the best answer.
consult this webpage about changing names:
https://www.easynamechange.com/ca/name-change-checklist/Citizenship-Permanent-Residents/
it is said: "Any Canadian Citizen or permanent resident can change names. This may be a name change from marriage, divorce or a legal name change. The name change can’t be done as part of your citizenship application. You must follow the same name change process as all other Canadians, then apply to get your citizenship certificate or permanent resident card updated. When you apply to become a citizen, the name you provide on the application form will be the same as your name on citizenship. There are no name changes allowed during this process. You can apply for a legal name change either before applying for citizenship, or after citizenship is granted."
Q: I know that once became a Canadian citizen I automatically renounce my Filipino Citizenship not unless I apply for dual citizenship is this correct?
I can d so without having any complications entering Philippines one day with a Canadian passport and my name being switch back to fathers surname?
A: it is better to consult your embassy webpage or go to see them directly, or ask someone who is Filipino too and had the same case.
the same webpage above talks about changing name and possible implications in your country of birth.
Congrats for receiving your AOR!
Good luck!

my application was delivered on July 10th, but returned back due to missing documents. Later which attached the missing documents and resent it , delivered on Aug 22nd. So the application received date is considered as Aug 22nd or july 10th?
Hence AOR will also be delayed?
thanks

Sorry to hear that. When was it returned? Unfortunately, Aug 22 will be the new date your application was received.
it was returned Aug 19th. I had mine and my daughter's application together. It was returned due to missing birth certificate. attached it and resent it again. my application was considered complete.
I had the same issue. Sadly new date of receipt would be considered. Or u may get lucky if they consider the first date (never know
)
