Issue with passport

[madmax]

Hey guys!

The passport from my country has my entire name in the given name section and nothing in the last name category.

While applying for CEC, I can't leave the last name section in the imm0008 form as I can't validate it.

My original name however does have a surname and its just an issue with my passport. My work permit and study permits show my name the right way.

Should I put it like how it should be or should I make changes to my passport and then fill the application.

To make changes in my passport would take a month and I'm hoping there is a solution for my problem!

This problem has been discussed many times in this forum. I have the same problem.
Enter your full name in 'Family Name' and leave 'Given name' field blank in all forms.

This direction is detailed in this page oncic portal. Do a search.

Indicate your family name(s) (surname) exactly as it appears on your passport or travel document (even if the name is misspelled). Do not use initials.

Note: If you do not have a family name on your passport or travel document, enter all your given name(s) here and leave the given name field blank.

Write all of your given name(s) (first, second, or more) exactly as it appears on your passport or travel document (even if the name is misspelled). Do not use initials.

Note: If you do not have a given name on your passport or travel document, leave this field blank.
