try this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/amend.asp

If that doesnt work i suggest you get your pr card and then do a correction and get your pr card reissued.. Call cic call center to confirm

Ok so finally talked to a CIC Agent.

He said there is nothing wrong with CoPR.

What happened is on my Malaysian passport, all it said is "Name" and my name is Chan Tax Tax, where Tax Tax is my first name and Chan is my last name.

On the CoPR there is Family name and Given names, CIC said since my name on my passport does not classified Last and First name, it all goes to Family Name and CoPR and Maple card will show exactly the same as Passport, there is nothing to be corrected.

So I guess for those who from country that does not mention last/first name on your passport, you are stuck with Family name only when it come to CoPR lol....

Hi Chan TaxTax (Endlescc) thank you for the original post and the final resolution too. I would certainly fall in that category too. You get +1 from me. Cheers

Hi,
We have faced the same situation today.
On the COPR for my daughter who has the Malaysian passport, both first name and last name are mentioned under 'Last Name' section.
And when we went to get her health card done, technically she doesn't has the first name at all in the records.
The reason given to us was that they have followed the details on passport. Now as you mentioned, malaysian passport doesn't has any seperation between first and last name.

This has become tough for us now as she doesn't has any first name in the govt records at all.

Can you share on how you went to get this information corrected ?

Thanks

GST = Goods and Services Tax
Where GS is first name and Tax is surname.
