Hi guys,

I am applying for citizenship and have a question about the name section in the citizenship application.

Section 3.A:

Write your last name (surname/family name) and given name(s) exactly as they appear on your immigration document. If your name was shortened (truncated), write the name that appears in the “Remarks” section of your immigration document. The name in the “Remarks” section will have precedence over the name in the surname/family name section. Immigration documents include your:
• Record of landing (IMM 1000)
• Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292 or IMM 5688)
• Permanent resident card (PR card)


The problem is that my middle name is truncated in the PR card while it is complete in the Confirmation of Permanent Residence so what should I do? Do I write it the way it is written in the PR card (truncated) or write it as it should be on the Confirmation of Permanent Residence?
