It's up to you. I've seen applicants including their middle name to their given name(s), and I've seen others not doing the same. No effect on their applications.Should I include my middle name in my given name. My middle name is my former surname. The one I used before I got married.
For example:
Surname: Cruz
Given name: Anne
Middle name: Peralta
Thank you very much.
You will want your PR card to match your passport, so you should use the names listed on your passport. If your middle name is on there, you should include it. Not to mention, it is always helpful to have your former surname listed on a legal document. I have run into a few situations where my maiden name wasn't changed to my married name yet, and having both names on my ID saved me from having to come back with my marriage certificate.Should I include my middle name in my given name.

Hi, I have the same concern. Where in the application form do I add my middle name (My family name when I was single)?You will want your PR card to match your passport, so you should use the names listed on your passport.

I'm still confused because in the Generic Application Form for Canada [IMM 0008] in personal details number 1. do I include my middle name (which is my family name when I was single) in the given name?You want to make sure your application matches your passport. So if your former surname is bring used as a middle name as in the example above you would put it in the given name section exactly as shown on your passport
It would help others answer you if you explained what is in your passport.I'm still confused because in the Generic Application Form for Canada [IMM 0008] in personal details number 1. do I include my middle name (which is my family name when I was single) in the given name?
But in number 2. there's also a question asking if you have used a maiden name? So, I also need to fill that out and put my Family name (when I was single), Given name together with my middle name (when I was single)?
When you are answering question 1 you would put the information exactly as it is on your passport NO differences.I'm still confused because in the Generic Application Form for Canada [IMM 0008] in personal details number 1. do I include my middle name (which is my family name when I was single) in the given name?

My apologies. I have the same scenario and question with the person who started this discussion (Rinka). Here's what's in my passport.It would help others answer you if you explained what is in your passport.
That's what matters.
Please also put the field names - does it refer to your 'middle name' as maiden name, or what exactly?
Then Jane and Smith are your given names.My apologies. I have the same scenario and question with the person who started this discussion (Rinka). Here's what's in my passport.
