Hello,
I am filling my application form for Citizenship and need guidance for Q#4B :-
Background :-
- I moved from India, where my Indian passport was having empty Surname/Last Name field i.e. Name was mentioned in passport as "Ranvir Singh" in Given Name field.
- Got my PR Card / COPR in the same name format
- Renewed my Indian passport and split my name i.e. Surname : Singh and Given Name : Ranvir
- Got my PR card updated based on the new Indian Passport
Now, in the citizenship application, there is a question :-
Have you changed your name or gender designation since becoming a Permanent Resident?
Technically, it was not a name change, just splitting my first name and last name.
Can anyone suggest, what should I answer to this question : Yes or No, anyone with similar situation?
Thanks in advance !

I have changed my name. But my question is how did you change your PR Card without a name change certificate?

I used the documents that I used to update my Indian Passport :-
- Affidavit
- Ad in local newspaper in india (2)
I wrote a letter of explanation and provided these documents.

I am not sure about this. I didnt update my name in PR before citizenship. I think you would have to mention old name also.

Hi india_user25,
I am in the same boat. I got my name split on PR Card without legal name change from provincial authorities. Could you please let me know what to fill in section 4 (a), 4 (b) and section 5.
Thanks in advance
