Shall i do the biometrics or wait for the name to be corrected.

I am in the same boat. I sent them a webform but still no response. I correctly filled my given and family name in all my documents but my biometrics letter has them interchanged.
I am scheduled for my biometrics on Monday.

Did you get this sorted before biometrics or did you go to Biometrics with the wrong order? Asking as I have a similar error that is my fault.

Did the Biometrics appt work out for you without correcting it first?
No.....my visa center helped me out. I was given an email address to write to and attach my passport and the first biometric letter and asked them to correct it. In an hour or so, I got an email requesting me to check my ircc portal which I did and they sent me another letter with the correct format of my names. I booked another appointment and a day letter I got my biometrics done and that very day my account was updated with completed biometrics.

Do you mind sharing the email for that contact point?

No I don't but you have to know that I am African and my visa center is in Tanzania where I applied to and the email addressthat was given to me is for that particularvisa center and not Ircc. You need to ask your visa center for help.

Hi,
I applied for Dependent visa and in biometric instruction they have put surname for first name and given name for surname. I have received the biometrics request but the document has got the name in wrong order as well? I have done biometrics on 11th may 2023. They told told me not worry and they said they will mention right name in biometric but after biometric in receipt they have again mentioned the same mistaken order name Is anyone in this situation?
What should I do? I have raised the web form. I have sent the query visa webform.
