Hi there, my spouse does not have a first name according to CRA. She received permanent residency in 2019 and your system is not allowing me to leave the first name blank

You can't leave the first name blank. And you will be not able to Netfile for her if she is a first-time filer. You will need to fill the first and last name as desired and print the return then mail it to CRA. CRA will change the name for future returns. 

 

Use this CRA link to find the location to the nearest center:

I hope this was helpful
