I asked CIC call center several times regarding that name change. I am in the same situation as well. CIC will only print the name just the way it is printed on our current original passport. If we have no first names, then we have no first names on our PR and citizenship forms. That's it. I know that some provinces allow name-change for permanent residents. But here in Quebec, only the Canadian citizens can change the name . So I have no choice but to wait until i get the citizenship to change my name by splitting.
