Hi, I recently applied for a visitor visa for me and my mom from outside Canada a few days ago. However I just noticed a mistake on the IMM5257E form I had already submitted for both my and my mother’s applications. Under the “Family Name” in the “personal details” section, I wrote the full names (First name, Middle name and family name) and left the “Given Names” section empty.

How big of an issue is this and how can I fix it? Would this be grounds for rejection or is it a minor mistake? Thanks!

Hi, yes I did have it resolved! I sent the IRCC a message through the webform on their website describing my issue and they reached back to me and asked me to attach the corrected Forms by email. You can find the web form in this link

You click on “Tell us more”, choose the country you applied in and explain your situation. Hope that helped! :)
