Adding Middle Name for the First Time (After receiving ITA) + Changing Employer Name and Job Title (Parent Vs. Subsidiary Company)

Hello everyone :)

There are two issues I would like your feedback and opinions on:

First
I received an ITA, but then I realized that I did not add my middle name anywhere before (not in IRCC account, or EE application)
Now, I added my middle name to my first name (via "Modify Family Information). I did the same for other family members (who are non-applicants btw). I will write all this in LoE
However, name on IRCC account cannot be changed (it does not have my middle name). Is this a problem?

p.s. my passport displays my full name as such: (First Middle Last), with no identifiers or fields.

Second
My reference letter came from the subsidiary I work with (and draw my salary from), not from the parent company (which is what I originally listed in EE). I changed the employer name after receiving ITA (I also changed my job title). How should I explain this in LoE? Are any supporting documents (other than reference letter) needed?

p.s. my residency visa of the country I am in is issued by the parent company and they listed (Assistant Accountant as an occupation). However, as per the reference letter (from subsidiary), my job title is just "Accountant"). Hence, I changed my employer name and job title to reflect my reference letter. Is this Okay?


Thank you very much.

Should be fine. Explain both these issues in LOE.

I have the same issue. I realised my middle name is missing after submitting my application, and I can't change it now. I have sent a webform last week but didn't get any response. In my biometric letter my name is only first and last, but my passport includes my middle name. Will I have any issues attending my appointment?

I made a same mistake. I forgot to add middle name at time of profile creation. Now, i got ITA and I realized that I forgot to add middle name. So, i used modify tool and updated it. But, it ssaw first+ last name not middle names on ITA letter. Is it fine? Or should i have to declined invitation?

Hi :)

I did the modification after receiving the ITA. My correct name showed up in the website afterwards and also in my application, and in the biometric instruction letter.

I am not an expert on these things but my best guess is that once your name is amended on the website, all coming documents should have your amended/correct name on it.

I would love for an experienced forum member to weigh in on this.

p.s. you should include your name amendment in the LOE.

Just write a letter of explanation and attach a copy of your passport bio page and you should be good.

I think your case is different than mine. I didn't include my middle name in the application, however, I sent a webform after submitting the application and the issue was resolved.
