Hello Everyone,
I am applying for my Citizenship in December 2017 but I need to clear something.

1. My name on PR card is same as my name on the Old passport. Last month I renew my passport and make changes to my name. I didn't change my name but I add my last name to last name field on passport and first name to first name field of passport because, in my old passport, my first and last name was on last name field on passport and my first name was blank and that's why all documents in Canada, I have no first name and complete name is the last name. To simplify what I said above, please take a look

Old passport:
First name: Blank
Last name: first name (AA) + last name (BB)

PR card:
First name: Blank
Last name: first name (AA) + last name (BB)

New passport:
First name: First name (AA)
Last name: Last name (BB)

What documentation do I need regarding these changes? how can I support my citizenship application?

Do I need to change my name on PR card as It shows on my new passport and then applies for citizenship?


Thank you,
