I meant in the online application form. I am not sure if I put xxx in given name as some people have done that. Also, not sure if an affidavit needs to be done.

Is that necessary? I am fine getting an oci with same details as Canadian passport with given name blank. It's just the difference in the way the 2 countries document my name.

I received my Canadian passport with given name blank, but now for OCI given name is mandatory. What shall I do?

What is the given name in your oci card - blank or xxx? Also, what was your given name in Canadian passport - blank or xxx?

Yes, no need to worry even if the names are swapped in biometric letter. They will update the forms based on the names in passport, no need to reach out for a new BIL. Just go ahead with your appointment. Good luck.

Hello, what did you do? I am in the same boat

Right now the VFS biometric details are auto generated based on the BIL, I doubt they will update it correctly and even if they will IRCC accept it. Anyone faced similar situation and what have they done?

Hello, I had incorrectly submitted visitor visa application with first name and surname interchanged and hence received a biometric letter with swapped name. I have raised a webform to provide a new BIL but no response yet and I have just a week left. Can someone please advise?

Hello, btw did you send all pages or only bio? curious as I just submitted with only bio page

Thanks a ton for this information. looks like you applied few months later for your minor. Do you see any issue if I apply for 5(1) just a week later as applied for parents online already?

Agreed. 5(2) is out of the picture here as parents have applied online. For 5(1) minor, we can apply if the parent is not applying at the same time, but applying at the same time is little bit open for interpretation as the parents have applied online. Now the child application which will be...

Sorry, there is an application form 5(1) for minors. Check this IRCC link - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/eligibility/minors.html

Can you show me one place in IRCC site which tells we can't apply for minor using 5(1) separately?

I am in the same situation, how did you proceed with your application?

Hello, I have recently applied for citizenship online for me and my wife. Now, I am confused as to which form to submit offline for my minor child as we can't submit online for minor. Can someone who had the same situation let me know which form they filled 5(1) or 5(2)?
