Amendment in landing papers.... if it s not an error made by Immigration off.

[mass]

Hi,
Im hoping to get some answers regarding our daughters family name.

We landed in toronto last year, at that time our daughter s family name was not added to the landing documents. However we got all our identification cards made without her family name. But we were informed to add her family name and then get that changed on the landing documents first and accordingly on all the ID cards once the family name is added.

Now we have added her family name to her new passport, the problem is that the form that I downloaded says that this amendment will only take place if the error was made by the immigration office. This addition or error you may call was not the immigration office's fault. The family name was not added to her old passport. Now that we have her new passport with the family name added to it, what will be the procedure to get it changed on the landing papers first and which form number will I be attaching along my documents.

I ll be grateful if someone can guide me about the exact form number.

Thanx

1. Her COPR will not be changed, as it is a historical document in that it contains the name she "landed" under.
2. You can change the name on her PR card, though with proof of the name change. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/re-prcard.asp
