Canadian passport application doubts

[Chhea]

Hello,
I am applying for the Canadian passport for the first time, I need to separate my first name into first name and last name. Do I just separate them and write them on the passport application form? What documents do I need to provide to support the name change?
Thank you

You would need a name change cert from the province plus a supporting document such as Provincial ID with the new name.

I am just separating my names, is the name change certificate still required? Also, how long might it take to receive anything from the province?

what is your given name and family name on citizenship certificate

what is your given name and family name on citizenship certificate

They wrote both the last name and given name as the family name on the certificate, that's why there was a need to change it

They wrote both the last name and given name as the family name on the certificate, that's why there was a need to change it

So in my case we had Family name listed as John Carter and Given name as XXX on Citizenship certificate so we had to go through the name change process in Manitoba.

Depending on the province where you are located you can either reach out to Service Canada or Vital Statistics office and they will be able to help you with the timeline on the name change process.

Was it literally XXX or left blank

Its XXX, I know that they do left it blank when I referred other threads on this forum.

Do you have name change certificate, did you submit it with the app.

Yes you are correct had to deal with all the headache (Province for name change cert then updating all IDs and then the Canadian PP with updated name) just waiting on the final leg which is Canadian Citizenship Certificate.

Do you have name change certificate, did you submit it with the app.

I went through the name change process after acquiring Citizenship as you know that dealing with CIC is painful.

Apparently yes, please check the above thread. One person has applied from UK, not sure what documents are needed.
