Hi Everyone,

I am going to apply for permanent residency under Canadian Experience Class.

I am claiming sibling points as my Brother is Canadian Citizen. I have the documents ready, but there is one small problem. On my birth certificate, my father has MD. in his first name, and on my brother's certificate it's written, Mohammad. Basically "MD. X Y" and "Mohammad X Y". I have added a letter of explanation and mentioned that it's pretty common in my country to use MD. In fact, my name starts with MD. Other than that, everything is the same on our certificates. My question is will that be an issue and Do I have to provide anything else?

I would really appreciate the help. Thank you
