hi,
i sponsored my wife. she got visa stamping in her passport. but in the surname column they printed part of her actual surname and in her firstname they mentioned her actual firstname and the rest of her surname. For example her name is Sudha.her surname is Vinod Kumar.
In the visa they mentioned like: Kumar as surname
and name as: Sudha Vinod.
Can she come to Canada as printed in her passport. or she has to send the passport back to Canadian High Commision and correct those. Please advice me on this matter. thank you

It should be alright to travel to Canada on PR, because they issued it in that format.
When you book your airline ticket get it issued to her in her FULL name as mentioned in the Passport "Sudha Vinod Kumar". It is hard for anyone to see why they addressed her in that format, but, since it has other documents with it which will carry the weight, you are free to travel with all of the papers. Please make sure that you have the full docket when she enters on PR.
When you apply for the PR card, Please do not leave a gap in the surname. Write it down as Sudha 'Vinodkumar'. That should take care of it. No middle name.
Good Luck.
Welcome to Canada.
