OK, here's the letter I got:
Dear Sir:
This letter is concerning your request to amend your Social Insurance Number record.
Your record has been amended to indicate your name and your gender as requested.
Although your Social Insurance Number indicates your new name, your previous name will remain on your Social Insurance Number record since the name and gender are recorded from the document submitted. You must provide a new document which reflects your new name and gender in order to amend your record.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
Um, yeah, I have one. WTF???
I have read and re-read those two paragraphs and cannot see how they don't completely contradict each other. Is the record amended or isn't it?
Guess I'll be contacting them.
Dennis
