My file number has been mixed up. Is this going to cause problems?

Hello,

I only yesterday got my canadian study permit, and my file number on my passport at the back has been written wrongly compared to my file number on the visa letter. Two digits have misplaced eachother.

Is this going to cause me problems at the Canadian port of entry? Should I get this fixed before leaving or just explain it when I get there? I'm a little angry about this mix up and also frustrated.

The file number is the same except two digits are in different place. Seems like an honest mistake on their part; but I can't afford mistakes right now.

Is it important to get this fixed before leaving?

No, the letter shows that you are eligible so the Study permit will be issued at the Port of Entry.  Your CAIPS file can be found at the POE by either the file no. on the letter or name and DOB.  Nothing to worry about.
