Hi guys
I had my landing interview this morning at the Etobicoke office in Toronto and am now officially a Permanent Resident!
However, they have made a mistake in my Confirmation of PR. My passport only has a "Full name" section and so my given name(s) and surname are written all as one. I noticed on my COPR that the 'Given name' area was blank and they placed my full name under 'Surname'. I was told my the officer who interviewed me that i would need to apply for this to be amended because right now it looks like i have no first name! My PR card is on the way, however because the PR Card name needs to match the COPR, i assume it will be the same issue on my PR card.
Is this something that immigration should rectify?? I was told a name amendment would take 3-4months. I do not want to wait that long as i need to apply for a US visa soon to go on holiday and surely having mistakes in my legal documents is not going to help the process.
Please advise
Thanks
Phe.
