My Full name has been mentioned in the last name and first name left blank, in my passport as well as my PR card.

I am applying now for the canadian citizenship. Do I have to change the name on my previous country passport or PR card, or can I request change of name on the Application, and submit Driver's License, Marriage cert, etc as proof?

I was even thinking of changing the name after I get the citizenship and the Canadian passport, since I do not want to delay my application.

Please advice.

Thanks

To avoid complications...
Wait for Citizenship and then apply for Name Change

Good Luck!
