Misspelling on passport receipt

[itsmelee]

Hey folks, quick question -

I applied for my baby daughter's passport today at a Service Canada.

I noticed on the "Official Receipt" they give after printing that a letter is missing from her first name.

Does anyone know the likelihood of the misspelling showing up on the actual passport?

Everything was filled in correctly on the application form, and they have copies of her birth certificate with the correct spelling -- it seems the lady at the desk just fat-fingered it.

What do you think -- is this likely to be checked and caught? It's due to be mailed in ~1 month and the application status will be available in ~5 days, so I can't even call to check yet.

Thanks.

They should create the passport with the data present on the application form. If that's right you need not worry.
