The spelling in my middle name MICHEAL on my passport is different from my birth cert ( MICHAEL). The real correct spelling is on my passport. I am due apply for my PR now. What spelling should i put down, or how do i resolve this issue?

Thanks

Put down the spelling you want and write a cover letter explaining why one of them is wrong.

I THINK MERELY WRITING A LETTER FOR CHANGE OF SPELLING IS NOT ENOUGH. TECHNICALLY IT IS A CHANGE IN A LEGAL DOCUMENT AND THREFORE IT HAS TO BE DONE THROUGH LEGAL PROCESS ONLY.
IT WILL BE ADVISABLE TO SEND AN AFFIDEVIT SIGNED BY APPROPRIATE LEGAL AUTHORITY LIKE MAGISTRATE OT NOTARY PUBLIC , MENTIONING THE GENUIN MISTAKE IN ONE OF THE DOCUMENTS.
REGARDS.
