Hello,
My husband landed last weekend, and today we went to update his SIN and Health Card (OHIP). His Confirmation of Permanent Residency truncated his Given Name by a character from Christopher John to Christopher Joh (no n on the end) as the limit is 15 characters (including spaces). When we went to apply for SIN and OHIP they said they had to use the same name that appeared on the COPR. All of his other documentation is in the full name (passport, birth certificate, work documents etc..) but because OHIP and SIN are updated based on the COPR it is different.
Has anyone else experienced that? I don't know if this will cause him any issues, specifically with work if the SIN card does not have his full name.
Any advice is welcome!
