Hi, i have doubt on my TRV stamp. I applied for TRV and send my passport. Application was approved and i got my passport with new TRV stamp with new expiration date but when i noticed before on my TRV stamp my name is like surname , first name as usual but now, in surname section my full name is mentioned and first name section is empty. Is there any issue if i try to re-enter in canada ? Can anyone please help me ? I really need help because i have to travel outside of canada.

You need to check:
1. How your name appears in your passport
2. How you filled your name in the TRV application form

Oh i see, so can I travel outside canada if i want with this TRV or it will create any problem when CBSA officer asked about visa after returning back ?
It won't be a problem as long as the name/spelling matches your passport.

You could try requesting the visa office to re-stamp your visa with the correct name/family name as per your passport. Not sure if they will accept your request, but you can certainly try

What if i confirm from CBSA office it would be okay or not? Because when we have to enter they have to check so is it okay ?

Your TRV must be acceptable to airline officials so that you can first board the flight. CBSA is on the distant horizon until you board the flight
