I searched this forum high and low and could not find an answer to my dilemma.
My birthname has an umlaut in it. It's an 'Ö' ( two dots on top of an o) , however my PR card has the English spelling equivalent 'OE'.
So my birthname is ' XXXXÖXX' and my PR card name is 'XXXXOEXX'
I apply for citizenship under name 'XXXXOEXX' since that is on my PR card and SIN etc.
As for question 5 I plan to put down only two names
1. ' XXXXÖXX' the one with umlaut for name of birth
2. my nickname
Is that correct or do I have to add the one with the English 'XXXXOEXX' spelling as well? Even though it is not different than my applicant name. My gut feeling is that I do not have to add, but just wanted to doublecheck.
If I do add the 'XXXXOEXX' spelling of my name to the list how do I explain this to CIC? There is no place for comment, Do I have to include a Letter of Explanation?
