Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post my question, but any response is appreciated.
As the title states, my question is regarding Canadian passport application.
I recently became a Canadian citizen. So, now I want to apply for Canadian passport. Passport application asks for full name as it appears on citizenship certificate. I understand that this is a straightforward question, but here's my dilemma:
Name on birth certificate and passport from my birth country(I'm a dual citizen now) is ABC(first name) John(first middle name) Doe(second middle name) XYZ(last name). But, when my landing paper was filled out at the airport, officer shortened my first middle name to 'Jon' and completely dropped my second middle name.
So, it went from
ABC John Doe XYZ -> ABC Jon XYZ (name on my landing paper and Canadian citizenship certificate).
My question is, would I be able to put both of my middle names (or at least the correct version of first middle name) in my application?
or should I just do a legal name change?

Maybe this link will help guide you to start the change. Now that the citizenship is completed, apply to correct both your landing paper and the citizenship certificate. After that, you could apply for a passport with the correct name. I'm sure others will chime in with more expertise.

Hey, thanks for the reply before.
I was just wondering if I should amend my landing paper or just do a legal name change through Service Ontario? any thoughts........
P.S. it seems changing through Ontario is faster since I`m likely going to need a passport by the end of the year for travelling.
Thanks for your time.
