Wait for the AOR, if you haven't already received it. Then fill out a new form and email to CPP-O.

They will need an updated background dec signed and sent via regular mail. A copy is not sufficient for this form. I'd suggest including a cover note explaining why you are submitting the new form.

Nothing much you can do. Wait for your AOR, then prepare new form with correct details, scan it and email it along with a cover letter to CPC.

Hi all,

Even we did the same mistake.. my mother-in-law's family name we filled incorrectly in my h'band's form with her current last name, :( :( still waiting for AOR..can we resend the new form after we got AOR and one more question is my mother-in-laws's given name is misspelled in my husband's passport(instead of k they put ra). we got a notarized affidavit which is taken by my mother-in-law stating that my name is xxx which is misspelled incorrectly in my son's pp as xyx. does this work??

Suggestions Plz...

Once you get your AOR email, send new forms.

Yeah, notarized affidavit will work.
