hello
I am an Indian citizen and I am planning to study in canada from fall 2012 semester to fall 2014. My name is Yuvraj Singh (on passport and all documents) but to the university I submitted my name as Yuvraj Singh Gill (surname was mandatory). I want to know if I would get any problems in Visa due to different name on university letter and passport? What should I do?
Please help me out

Hi,

1. On visa application you should write your name as it is on passport;

Surname or Family Name: 'Gill'
Given Name or 'First Name + Middle Name': 'Yuvraj Singh'
