My wife received her passport back 2 days ago after exactly 7 excruciating weeks of waiting for it to arrive from London. Wife is here in Canada with me.

But, for the #15 portion on the confirmation of permanent residence form, where they say name and address of who is willing to support you, they have some old information which we never submitted! It is a previous address from pre-2001 and my previous name (added baptised first name). So if my names "ABC, DEF XYZ" they've got "ABC, DEF" but missing the XYZ (XYZ was added around 2001/2002 and I have the name change records to prove it).

Should I be worried or can we simply cross the border and land while giving our current address and correct name to mail the PR card to?

If we were to try and get this changed again through London I fear we may wait another 2 months for anything to happen and my wife's landing Visa expires in mid September. Please help guys!
 
I would contact the visa office immediately if I were you.

Just have the officer change it when she "lands" No big deal.
 
Wait a second.

For the name: say your name is "John Carl Doe" -- do you mean to say they have "John Doe" on there? Or "Carl Doe" or "John Carl"?

If it's "John Doe" then that isn't a concern -- you are still that person (at least to CIC).

As for the address -- do they have the correct address for your wife (the applicant)? If so, you can update them, but it probably isn't much concern.

Thanks for the responses.

They've got Carl Doe. I have my original certificate showing name change to John Carle Doe. I have original citizenship paper showing Carl Doe, tax form showing john Carl Doe at old address and then new tax papers showing John Carl Doe at new address.
 
I don't think thats a big issue at all, you are in the similar situation like me, but on my ecas it shows the name on my citizenship card, so I'm pretty sure when my wife gets her copr it will have my name on it exactly same as it appears on the citizenship card.

my example:
My Citizenship Card: MY_FirstName MY_FatherFirstName MY_FatherMidName MY_LastNAME

When I filled the forms I've only wrote: MY_FirstName MY_LastNAME - Exactly same as it appears on my Canadian Passport.

But, on eCAS it shows: MY_FirstName MY_FatherFirstName MY_FatherMidName MY_LastNAME

I'd not worry if I were you
