Hello everyone
I have had an issue with my name being incorrect with IRCC. My name in my passport is as follows and is not broken down into given names + last name

Name: XYZ


However, in Canada it is required to have a last name so they have all my names under last name. I spoke to them about it when I applied for PR and they said I need a legal name change. I have been a PR for quite some time now but I have just noticed that both my brown paper and notice of decision did have the correct name order as follows.

Last name: Z
Given names XY

Would this be considered as an admin error and is something they need to fix or would I need a legal name change?
