Hi,

Today I received my visitor visa for Canada. In the visa sticker pasted in my passport, the last letter of my name is missing. Would that be an issue when I travel? or is it just a truncation of the name due to limitations in systems?

Thanks in advance.

20 characters is the max, and your first name has 21.

(I know it's about PR cards, but it should be a similar standard for other IRCC docs as well.)
