Hello all

Unfortunately, today I realized that there's a spelling error in the new passport :eek: that I received in the middle of my PR application. This error is present in my PR visa, COPR, now SIN card and most probably in PR Card.

I've already sent back my passport for correction. What is the process for correction the rest of my documents (COPR, PRC, SIN, ...)?

What a nightmare.

In case someone faces the same issue, my PR card arrived with CORRECT spelling ;D, even though COPR had the wrong spelling. I didn't do anything to fix it and was preparing to go through the legal name change process :( as per a phone conversation with an IRCC agent.

Thank God this was rectified on its own!

Change it on COPR, if you don't, might create problem at time of citizenship
