You must use the name that appears in your passport in all forms for Canadian immigration. The difference between your name in your certificates and that in your passport is negligible and can be later explained in a simple letter that you are the same person.

Hi,
I also have a similar issue. I applied to WES as per my passport name while my education documents contain initials.

WES gave the report under my passport name only with a separate field mentioning the initials name as per educational credentials.

For immigration purposes, use the passport name in all places. I would also suggest to get a same name affidavit as a precaution.

Your PR application should be based on your name in passport. Your WES name should contain your full surname and ask WES to include G in bracket after Gopi as your certificates contain only Harish G. They will include this request if you send an email through the contact section in WES prior to issuing ECA. In my case I used my full name both for PR application and WES and WES mentioned the initial of surname in the bracket in ECA like Harish Gopi (G)
