Question: Hello, friends, I am an international student at University Laval, Quebec.
I am from India. I arrived at Quebec in October.
I am having some trouble related to my Visa. The problem is that when I applied for the passport in India, my surname was not mentioned as per the standard passport rule, instead of that it was mentioned as the first name, perhaps it could be the passport office mistake. Unfortunately, I did not realize this mistake until I moved to Canada. Though my visa and CAQ application was proceeding without any trouble and they consider my full name as a first name because of it appears in the passport.
But when I came to Canada and register my Ph.D. at University then I came to know about this problem by University administration. The University office advised me to make the change in my name from the beginning. Thus, I had to file an application in Indian consulate office Torrent to issue me a new passport with the correct name.
Recently, I received my new passport with the correction in my surname and first name.
However, now I need to apply for the new visa application/study permit for the same. But I am having a problem to file the renewal application for the visa. I am confused with the application form because I couldn't found any specific form for the rename application at CIC website so what should I do now, should I file a whole new application or is there any specific application to make changes in your name.
Please help me regarding this.
Thanks in advance.
