Hello Members,

My PR landing doc has
Last name : Blank
Given Name : aaa bbb ccc

My passport has since been updated to rectify the name split
Last name :ccc
Given Name : aaa bbb

Long story short.., My name remains the same and is split in the new passport correctly to reflect both Given name as well as Last name. For my citizenship application will I need to provide any name change documentation even though my name remains the same.

As I understand, will have to apply for the changes..as your COPR will be reflecting the old format.

Is applying for citizenship a good enough reason for applying - name change for urgent matters. I see Immigration matters as one of the reasons why one could apply to have the process expedited.
