Error in CoPR Place of Birth

[vssk91]

Hello All,

We just recieved our CoPR and 1 time entry visa in our passports. We noticed that my spouse's CoPR had a typo in the Place of Birth Field.

Real Place of Birth as per passport : BANGALORE, KA
CoPR printed Place of Birth : BANAGLORE, KA

If you notice the position of 'a' has been misplaced. I have searched this forum for answers and came across this Operational Bulletin 545 :

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/bulletins-2013/545-modified-december-6-2016.html

It says that any clerical error can be corrected at Port of Entry by CBSA Officer.

I wanted to confirm if it is true and also urge anyone that has had similar CoPR corrections to reply.

Please Advise.\

Thanks.
VSSK

Yes, you can get this corrected at the PoE. The officer asked me if I needed any corrections when I landed.
