What should I do if my new PR Card has a mistake or something is missing?

You can apply for a reissued PR Card if the mistake was made by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). Please note that if your given name has more than 15 letters or your surname has more than 20 letters, the name appearing on the PR Card will be shortened. This is not a mistake and the card will not be reissued to change the name.
