Though my First Name and Last Name of Passport or all other IDs are matching with Degree Awarded but my Middle Name (Fathers Name as in India) is not matching. So does this affect during ECA/WES evaluation?

Middle Name(Father Name) in Degree and School LC - JayKumar
Middle Name(Father Name) in Passport and all other IDs - JayBhai

- Thanks.

Hi JJ, I am a newbie here so really suggest you wait for other responses from more experienced applicants as well :) I had a similar issue with my name on certificates not matching passport. I submitted a legal affidavit along with my certificates stating that the different names refer to the same person... It worked for me and I have got my WES report. Hope this helps :)

These kind of situations do not have an exact right or wrong answer but rather depends on whoever reviews your application.
As someone suggested getting an affidavit would be the most direct solution. If you are on a time crunch , just submit your application and if there are any issues or further documentation needed, immigration services will let you know.

From my experience middle name is usually ignored as there are discrepancies in lot of cases.

Hi Ferni, I have a doubt that whether do we need to submit original affidavit or photo copy of affidavit along with transcripts and WES ref. no. ?

Get an affidavit signed by the Municipal corporation of your region and get it attested by a recognized lawyer or court(preferably a court) to state which middle name is the affirmative one. Then send that over to IRCC while applying as an Additional supporting document.
