Question about name change

[miak266]

Hi All,

I am planning to renew my daughter's PR card. I have recently renewed her passport through our country's embassy in Ottawa. However, the new passport got her middle name expanded. Is that considered a legal name change?

Old passport name (Same as the current PR)
Last Name: ABCDEF
Given Name: ABCD A. B.

New Passport:
Last Name: ABCDEF
Given Name: ABCD ABCD ABCD <-- second name and third name got expanded.

Is that considered a legal name change? Would an affidavit be enough (one and only person)?

Regards,
