Mother's first name is mispelled

[FilCanCouple]

Hello all!

So I finally got my Vietnamese police certificate 2 but there's a typographical error of my mother's first name. Will this be a problem? [My mother is not included in my permanent resident application but I wrote down her complete name in the additional family information form.]

Getting a certificate in a foreign country is a hassle. Will Canada immigration reject the certificate if the name is misspelled?

Need your advice.

Thank you!

not sure if typographical error of mother's first name will be a problem....you may send the PCC and provide explanation or you may call IRCC to advice.

By phone. Call the IRCC Call Centre (1-888-242-2100), from within Canada only

No, they will not return the app for a minor spelling mistake.

I was looking for an answer on a question for a friend and I realized I had made the same error. so just to refresh my situation. My mother in law's name is spelled JEANETTE on her ID card which I was looking at when filling out forms but on my husband's birth certificate and our marriage certificate it is spelled JEANNETT. I sent my application yesterday, so you think it wont be an issue?

my friend's situation is a bit similar. Her husband's last name is missing a letter also on all his documents, they realized the error when gathering sibling's information and noticed the difference. They are ready to send application but are worried about the discrepancy with how his last name is spelled and that it doesn't match his sibling's and mother

I appreciate you opinion as you seem like you know your stuff.

thanks

Hello Glen1990,

They never said anything about the error. I made a case enquiry regarding my certificate and they replied it was received by the visa office. That's it. They never commented about the spelling mistake.

Hope this helps lessen your worries.

Application was sent in July 2018, got AOR November 2018 and certificates were provided later as requested. Just make sure all required docs were there and you signed everything that is needed to be signed.

Hi! I am about to submit my PR application but there is clerical error on our marriage certificate. My spouse's first name was misspelled.
Kindly advise on what's the best thing to do.
