Hello everyone!

I got my wes report today CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY is fine but in report it is mentioned - The names on one or more of the academic credentials submitted for evaluation differ from the name indicated above.

In my passport and wes account i have first and last name (Meenakshi Arora) but in my credentials there is only Meenakshi, last name is not there? Is there will be any problem for the home child care pilot program caregiver application.

Pls suggest.

Hi, it happened to my husband.. he studied in Egypt and in his credentials last name was not there, what I understood is credentials should be as per your passport if your submitting it to IRCC, just to be in the safe side, we contacted the school and we requested an updated credentials with the support of his birth certificate and other government id's., we go the updated credentials and we submitted it to wes.
WES will not follow what's the name on your passport provided or what you have indicated from your WES ACCOUNT it will follow the exact details mentioned from your credentials.
My advice: contact the schoold or if you're in overseas, send someone and inquire on your behalf what's the procedure in correcting the name from your credentials based from your passport. Then follow what they'll ask .. once you got the corrected one you can contact wes if they can update the evaluated file for you or they'l have to evaluate a new one.. this option will give you a good night sleep to not think what ifs.. during the whole immigration process .
if you want the easy way but again I cannot guarantee if this can be accepted.
ask for a letter from the school indicating That the name from the passport and the evaluation is the same person, have it notarized by a lawyer and attached it as supporting documents together with the evaluation, as I said this is the cheapest and easy way out but not 100% can work .

Thank you so much for the help. But the university will not change the name in their record. I think i have to go for second option.

I have my husband last name in my passport nd no last name on my ECA, as in my academic documents no last name is mention, my lawyer said it is ok . wes will write everything according to your academic, so I think no need to worry.
