Place of birth confusion

[burakcayir]

Hello,
Guys, I asked the question here but also I called CIC three times and got different answers, so I am totally confused. Let me clarify my case:

In my COPR document, my place of birth is written as
"ABCD/EFGH"
which is truncated (not mistaken, just because of character limit last letter is missing) and normally it should be
"ABCD/EFGHI"
where "ABCD" is name of the city and "EFGHI" is province name.

The problem is, in my passport, my place of birth is written as ABCD (city name only, without province name)

So, in my citizenship application, what should I write? The truncated version, the correct version with province name, or only the city name? Should I explain it in a letter? Application form clearly says write it as shown on your immigration document but I am not sure anymore.
I got all three different answers from three different CIC officers. I don't want to amend my COPR document as it takes more than 6 months.

What do you suggest?

I would write "ABCD/EFGHI" and include an explanation letter, if i was in your position. Writing truncated version is not correct and should be ruled out of your options.

Write the full name and let CIC decide what to put in there.

Write the full name and let CIC decide what to put in there.

The advice I gave in a previous thread was to write:

"ABCD/EFGHI (truncated to ABCD/EFGH on COPR)"

That covers everything and eliminates the need for a separate letter of explanation.

Hi Guys...

Need some expert advise.

I am from India and my husband has got his PR and is in Canada. He will be starting the spousal sponsorship process soon. From the document checklist, I got to know that it's mandatory to provide Birth Certificate. H/ever, the place of birth in my Birth Certificate shows the Village name, along with District and State in separate line. But the place of birth in my passport shows ONLY the name of the District and State.
Will this cause any problem? Would it be sufficient if I add an LOE just to explain it to CIC folks.

Pls let me know how to go about it.


Thanks!

1. LOE not needed, IRCC is not going to quibble that the village name isn't in your passport.
