guys.. a clarification.. since my name was long, PR card didn't have the last two letters on it. buy my lading docs and my original passport and rest of the docs have my full name.
in the citizenship form, it asks,

what was the exact name on our latest immigration documents? (PR card obviously)...

how do I go about it... help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just looked at my COPR and it is missing the last three letters of my middle name. At the time I was told that this was because their system only allows so many letters etc. My original PR card matched the COPR with the missing letters but my second PR card that I obtained after the first expired has my name full name spelled correctly. I'd completely forgotten about this until reading similar things on here.
I'm assuming that as my current PR card is my latest document, that I'll give me full proper name as per that on my application, but will the missing three letters on my COPR cause any bureaucratic issues later on?

15 character limit
It used to be 15 character limit, then they upped it to something like 26 or so. So my COPR from 2010 and my first PR card had a truncated middle name. When I renewed my PR card a couple of years ago, the new one came back with my full name and no truncation at all. I'm assuming my new PR card is my "most recent immigration document" and I should use my full non-truncated name on the citizenship application forms?

Yes of course put the complete one.
