You can use whatever is on your passport. If the name is just slightly different it shouldnt be a problem. But if it’s different by a lot, WES may not accept it. For example if degree has John D and your name on passport is John Doe, it shouldn’t be a problem. But if it’s Mary on one and John on another it’s gonna be a problem.
Hi Albak,

My under graduate degree certificate has "AA BB CC" as my name, while my post graduate degree certificate, passport and every other document has "BB CC" as my name. Will this be an issue? What can I provide or clarify to WES or any other authority regarding this. Please help.

Thanks

Hi,

I have a similar issue. My wife's surname is not her last name. For clarity I will say her name is "AAA BBB CCC DDD". So her surname is AAA (Inherited by her farther) and the last name is DDD (Also inherited by her farther). So in my EE application wife's last name is DDD and in her passport surname is AAA.

Will this be a problem???

it does not matter what name is there in your degree certificate. Mine is completely difference since my father name included in degree (thanks to Gujarat University). But my passport name is not having father name included in my given name/last name. I successfully got mine WES done. Also, I have got my PR immigrant Visa in August and ready to fly. Don't bother mentioning anything after the ITA etc. Don't present the affidavit etc. either. Just make sure that your name for CIC application (during express entry profile creation and later on after ITA) should match exactly as your passport. Hope this help.
Hello,
I just submitted my application and i have my AOR, my concern is the order of names on my passport is different from the order of names written on my Bank Letter for proof of funds. E.g name on passport is Charles Evans George. but on the Bank letter and Statement of account, it was written as Evans Charles George.
I realized the mismatch after i have already submitted. will this be a problem.
A lil concerned.

Hi...

Spelling of my father's name in all my educational certificates is different than all other documents like Passport, What is the way out as I am about to create my EE profile? There is difference of "H"

Spelling in Educational documents- HARSADKUMAR (No H after S)
Spelling in other documents (passport)- HARSHADKUMAR (H after S)

Hi folks,
My name in the passport is "AA BB". But in the educational documents it's "AABB" (without space in between). Do I need to submit letter of explanation or affidavit?
