Dear Client,
Please put all of your names in the last/surname field. If an error continues, put an “x” in the first name field.

Nowadays, the CIC website does not accept blank fields for first names.

I have already created my account using my entire given name in the last name field and leaving the given name field blank (as per the FAQs on CIC website).
Confusion started on the family history page where both first name and last name are required fields. If I add my entire name in both the fields then my name appears twice - Sadiya Rehman Sadiya Rehman. Funny!
If you notice, in the account creation page, Given name is not mandatory while in Family History page of Express Entry Profile, it is a required field.
I am facing the issue for my mom and sister. I have put 'x' in the first name field and planned to explain it in an LOE.I have also written an email to them. Lets see how long they take to respond.

It seems this issue is particularly common for women from India and Pakistan.
True, seems like a common issue in India and Pakistan for men and women both. I just want to submit my application before the next draw. Hope they respond fast!I am facing the issue for my mom and sister. I have put 'x' in the first name field and planned to explain it in an LOE.

Hi All,
I also don’t have Sir name in my passport. I am thinking of adding my husband’s sirname in my passport before applying for express entry but in all my certificates there is Km.( In English it means Ms.) mentioned before my name however the same in not there in passport. Please suggest if this is the right time to add surname coz I think i have to explain in LOE about Km. Or can I fill express entry form without Sirname? Will that be an issue if I don’t have last name in passport? Pls give your suggestions

Found this snippet from CIC websiteHello All,
Did anybody get any reply? Any help in this regards would be appreciated.
What do you mean by surname?
Your surname is your family name. It is also called your “last name.” When filling out applications, type your surname as it appears on your passport, travel or identity document.
Do not use initials.
If you do not have a family name on your passport, travel or identity document, enter all your given name(s) in the surname field and leave the given name field blank. Do not enter “Not applicable,” “*” or “NA.”
