Hi Abytoms,

I have the same problem, my opinion would be, firstly make a name change in the passport, so that there is a given name and a surname. You will have a problem with the PR card as there is no surname. So once you get the passport changed, you ca re-apply for the PR card with both names. I have been given to understand that in North America both names are essential for identification.

All the best.
