Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
We can appreciate that you would be interested in this type of information.
You can find some information on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website in the What should I do if my new permanent resident card has a mistake or something is missing? section.
Here is an excerpt,
If either your given name or your surname has more than 28 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.
For cards issued on or after November 21, 2015, names are limited to:
- first name: 28 letters or less
- last name: 28 letters or less
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.

1. Here is what CIC says
What should I do if my new permanent resident card has a mistake or something is missing? If we made the mistake, you can apply for a reissued permanent resident (PR) card.
If either your given name or your surname has more than 28 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.
For cards issued before November 21, 2015, names are limited to:
- first name: 15 letters or less
- last name: 20 letters or less
For cards issued on or after November 21, 2015, names are limited to:
- first name: 28 letters or less
- last name: 28 letters or less
If your son's situation doesn't fit into the above, get an amended PR Card
