Hi ,

Citizenship certificate has my name as

1.first name , middle name

Can I have only my first name and last name on the passport, I mean can I skip my middle name for the passport or It is necessary to have middle name on the passport as well.

Write a letter ask them not to include your middle name, they may or may not accept. If you really want to do it then you have to legally change your name to exclude your middle name. Thats the only way to get it done for sure.

So can I apply for a Canadian passport without my middle name ? let me rephrase my question. can my name on citizenship certificate be different from the one on the passport ? citizenship certificate with middle name on it and passport without middle name ?

Letter to Passport Canada. It doesnt matter what names you put in your application, they will type your legal name (including middle name) from the info they have in their databases. To have a name modified, write a letter and ask for it. It doesnt mean they will do it.

hibase on our experience same as yours my family applied for a passport, my husbanddid not include their middle initial on their passport application just only their first name, but when we already there a staff told my husband that they need to put the middle initial on their first name and the kids too, bec. it was in their certificate.....so i also checked their PR card the middle initial are also in their first name.....

According to http://passport.gc.ca/info/section1.aspx?lang=eng:

For a passport issued using the adult general passport application:
the name is normally the same as that appearing on the proof of Canadian citizenship (certificate of birth in Canada or certificate of Canadian citizenship).
you may request that not all your given names be used in your passport, or that names be inverted, as long as your supporting identity document contains the name you would like to appear. In addition, the names listed on identity documents must be identical to the ones you want in your passport, and in the same order.
