Hi, After many years I have realized that my passport has no surname and my whole name is written in the given name. All these years I have had my Express entry profile created (although not picked up yet). I have my WES done, and IELTS given.
In all these profiles, I have always used SINGH as my surname, even though I don't have it on my passport. My WES is approved and I always had given IELTS in this way only.
Now I want to know, should I update my name in WES by contacting them? I don't remember If I had given them my passport biographic page for the name.
As far as IELTS TRF is concerned, It is going to expire soon, so I can put the actual given name (no surname) in the next attempt.
For the IRCC profile, I can dump the existing one and create a new one with an updated name. I cannot change my passport name right now as it will take more than 30 days to update it because of newspaper advertisements and the whole tedious procedure.
Based on the given information, can someone provide an elegant solution if there is anything I can do apart from changing the name in WES, IELTS, and IRCC? May be releasing an affidavit stating that both the names are the same.
Are surname and given name considered seriously for moving forward with the application?
Looking forward to some expert opinion.
Thank you
