I recently got my canadian citizenship. Indeed it is good news but there is one tiny problem as my full name printed in family name.

Lets say my name "Abc Singh". On my indian passport, my full name was written in Given name column and surname was blank.
Here in canada they put full name in the surname field therefore, now when I applied for passport it is printed similar to my citizenship certificate i.e. full name printed in the surname field and given name field is left as "XXX".

I am wondering will it impact any thing? Has someone thought to changed it? What process did they took? If not changed, is there any problems person can face?
This I'm going for marriege dnt want any problem fill form

Any real time experience would be helpful
Plz any one help

May be one has to legally change the name and go through the process. However, please check with CIC, may be there could be some way.
