Hi there,
I just got my COPR on the 24th of Dec. I saw my Family name was mix up with my given and middle name.
Name on my passport:
Steve(Given name) Kai(Middle name) Swanson(Family name)
On my COPR:
Family name: Steve
Given name: Kai Swanson
This is a quote from this forum:
"According to this forum it will be a waste
Here is a big update for all people who get their given names printed as their surnames in their landing document / visa.
DO NOT SEND BACK YOUR PP because its a total waste of time and money.
As I mentioned in my earlier posts that I sent back my PP with a cover letter explaining them what was wrong.......Guess what....they returned it with no change and a letter that says....
"Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your enquiry regarding the appearance of your name in PRV and COPR document.
Our policy states that when a given name and surname are not specifically separated on the passport or if there is no surname, the full name must be entered as one name.
As a result, no changes were made to your documents."
I sent a case-specific enquiry to them before sending the documents and the reply was again a copy paste message that can also be read on their website. So case-specific enquiries are no different."
Do you think it is better to send COPR back? Or it is better to go to the border with hope that CBSA will fix this error?
Please help!
