My wife had the same issue while applying for our PR under express entry this year, we went to the police station swore an affidavit to confirm she's the same person mentioned in both documents even though the name differ and didn't exist in her birth certificate, our PR visa was issue on the 18th of November to prove that the approach worked perfectly .Also do not forget to pick the "yes" if CIC ask if you have used any other name or have any other name apart from the name on your passport this questions will appear in your express entry profile and your CIC application ,you will have the opportunity to list the other names if you select that option and your problem will be solved.

Hi Mohammed, even my problem is also the same.I think you have to submit Affidavit from advocate as its the same person with the short form in first name. This may work out. If you have sorted out the issue let me know what hv u done?

Hello,

Even I have the same issue,

Where in my SSC, Inter and B.Tech, my name is like "SOMEREDDY HAME SUNDHER" but in the rest all the documents, (passport, ID proofs etc) will be as "HEMA SUNDAR SOMIREDDY" and I even have published my "name change" update in newspapers. Right now I am applying for Canada Study Visa. Could you let me know, what measures do I need to take?
