I applied for a passport in person at a Service Canada office. I provided my application, Certificate of Citizenship, and driver's license. The agent scanned all the documents, and everything went smoothly. After making the payment, the agent gave us a receipt, but we noticed that there was a mistake—"one letter" in my given name was incorrect on the receipt.

When I track my application online, it only shows results when I enter the name from the receipt, not the name I filled out on the application or the one on my ID.

My question is? Will the name on the receipt be used on my passport, or will they refer to my application, ID, and other documents to use the correct name?

Thanks
