Possible Ask Landing Officer To Use Different Name for PR Card?

[nova0101]

Hi all,

This may sound like an absurd question but I wanted to know about something.

My Express Entry application is in final stage of approval and I will travel to Canada once it's approved. Now my name in my password is something like this: <Surname> <FirstName with extra suffix> <Father's Name>. Is it possible to ask the officer who would be conducting my interview to use <FirstName> <Surname> as my name for PR Card?

For example,
Name as per passport: Bisht Ajaysingh Bholasingh
Preferred Name: Ajay Bisht

Is it possible or just wishful thinking?

What does your COPR show? They will match the name displayed on your COPR.

No. The PR card has the surname and first name on separate lines. It will follow your passport/PR application/COPR as previously stated.
Possible your given name on the card will be truncated to the first two names, if not the first 14 characters.

As I mentioned, it's in final stage but they haven't issued COPR yet due to VFS closures. But it will say something like,

Bisht Ajaysingh Bholasingh

I figured. Just wanted to see if anybody was fortunate enough to get their name updated. Thank you for your response!

I go by my full legal name in documents and other official matters but go by my shortened name professionally. I do consider from time to time having my name officially changed to my shortened name, but by this point, I don't figure it's worth it for me to go through the whole process. You may have a different viewpoint for yours.
