Hi I unfortunately submitted my Express Entry Profile and the CEC Application with my given names and surnames in wrong sequence. There is any way to fix this? I can call the help centre maybe or my application will be rejected and I just lost more than $1000 dollars for that mistake ?

Any ideas

thanks

Click on "modify family information" and see if those fields can be modified. Otherwise from your end there is no way to do so Post-ITA.

I already sent the application and paid the fee so I dont think I can edit that info
You can raise a CSE to update information on your application.

Honestly though, unless you figured out a way to deal with your other issue I wouldn't bother.

I already fiex the points issue, I just included contract and paystubs but no reference letter, so im back to 468 and I sent the PR online app.

About the names issue I just sent a CSE form to ask my names be changed, do you think it could be possible or my app will be rejeceted cos the passport does not match the names in sequence ?

thanks a lot for the help

I wouldn't be so worried about that. If anything i'd be extremely concerned about your work experience.

me too, got PR, currently in Canada, no issues !!!
I am stuck and worried with almost no help

What did you do exactly? CSE webform solved your problem?

My first name is incorrect and I have received a BIL with incorrect name so biometric submission is stuck.

My issue is I missed writing my Fathers name in the First name Section, I wasnt aware that First Name and Given Name on passport are the same thing.

Yeah its resolved. The Biometrics center was supposed to take my case without the middle name too. And I had raised a webform which confirmed that my name is rightly uploaded.
