Hey guys, how are you?

After checking my wife's and my COPR and the counterfoil with my Immigrant Visa, I've found the following mistakes:

1. The name on my counterfoil visa is "[LAST NAME], GUSTA". It should be "[LAST NAME], GUSTAVO".

2. My city of birth on my COPR is truncated. For example, instead of "Vancouver" it would be "Vancouve".

3. My wife has been in Canada before, with a working holiday visa, but the Orig. entry date and Last entry date are showing the same date on her COPR, even though she has entered Canada more than once in that occasion.

4. I have been in Canada before, on a Work and Study program, but the Orig. entry date and Last entry date are blank on my COPR.

I believe issues 1 and 2 may have happened because of a space limit.

I tried contacting VFS Global, and they told me to check with the consulate. The consulate doesn't answer my phone calls and doesn't reply my emails.

I've seen a lot of different answers to those kinds of mistakes here in the forum, but most of them are in old threads.

Do you guys think any of those issues are gonna be a problem for us when we do the landing?

Thank you in advance for your help.

There is also a character restriction on the PR card, so you might have to live with that truncated name as well when you get it.

Truncation is by design, it is even mentioned in the instruction booklet that you get with COPR.
