Truncated information on immigration document

[burakcayir]

Hello,

My Confirmation of Permanent Residence document has my last name with a special character "Ç" where as it appears as "C" in my PR card and all other provincial ID documents. What do you think I should write into citizenship application form?

Also my Confirmation of Permanent Residence document has my birth place as truncated as it is a long word.
Should I fill the citizenship application form with that truncated information or with the correct one?

Thank you.

Since the cedilla exists in the French alphabet, there should be no problem in using it. I would say to use it if you want it used on your Certificate of Canadian Citizenship, and don't use it if you don't want it to appear on your certificate. You'll likely have less explaining to do in the future if you simply use a C, but if you are attached to the cedilla, keep it.

In my opinion, you should write your place of birth in full. If IRCC needs to truncate it again, they will do so.

Thank you. Do you think I should add an explanation letter too? Because they say type the birth place as shown in immigration document.

On the application, you can enter it like this:

Town/City: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (truncated on COPR to XXXXXXXXXXXXX)

If you cannot type all of that on the line, you can add it later in pen.
