Earlier, I didn't have surname in my Indian passport. It was blank.
Recently, I splitted my name into given name and surname.

How can I make the same change in my PR card and other canadian documents?

What are the steps and necessary documents?

Anybody have the same issues?

How did you split your name? Was there a legal change of name process anywhere?

On what documents is this reflected (eg home country passport)?

It seems to me you MAY be able to submit and get PR changed on basis of home country passport, esp if you can support by showing ANY document that says this is an accpeted change of name procedure.

Reinforce this by changing driver's license here or some other document in canada.

Then just include copies and send to IRCC as change of name.
