Hello there all helpers,

I have a query regarding issue in my wife's name written across her documents.
Passport (Indian) contains expanded last name e.g Chandran
But University (Calicut, Kerala) and SSLC (10th Grade in Kerala,India) and +2 (12th Grade in Kerala,India) has last name as "C".

We are yet to do WES for her, WES site It has an option - Were your documents issued under a different name? ()Yes ()No

We have two doubts
  • We are not sure on selecting that option or not (Were your documents issued under a different name?)
  • What other proofs are required to justify the name while the stages of express entry

Thanks in advance.

I am in similar situation. Can you let me know how you went about it?

We did WES with the same name as in educational certificates (which was with last name as initial). And to prove the relation between the names in passport and educational documents we have generated a notarized certificate (from a notary lawyer).
  • This is very much specific to India.
  • I have not submitted that yet, so I cannot comment if that is enough.
But if interested will keep you posted.
