Name split in Quebec for PR:

I had one name on my passport in given name: XXX singh and Surname was blank . So here in Canada I used to have last name only and given name blank.

I recently got PR and then I applied to name split on my passport. Once I got my passport with given name: XXX and surname as Singh , I went to SAAQ to make that correction on driving license. So they fixed my name on driving license. Then in starting of October I applied for PR without ticking the legal name change option, I provided new license old and new passport and explanation that I just want to split it . Yesterday officer send me email that they recently issued my PR card, so can’t give me new , so he gave me option to send imm5451, I filled up and click on destroyed option and tell them the name is no longer good as my passport of provincial id ( I also cut my pr card and send them photo of that) , today in gc key I got update( final decision with date ; I think that mean they send my card for production ) then I check my biometric validity with singh as last name and that worked ( that means they fixed my name in system)

I hope this helps
