If you do not have a surname on your passport, travel or identity document, enter all your given name(s) in the surname field, write “not applicable” or “N/A” in the given name field.

Hope this will help you
Thanks and Good Luck

Actually as per CIC guideline , It should match with your passport document .
and in case you don't have family name (surname) in passport use first name in family name section.

my concern is - same is the case for my family - all have just given names , so when i enter their info "do i put in their names in a similar way ???"

Nope, this rule applies to only you and Your spouse name. only for these fields you have separates blocks in generic form (as i remember correctly ) , for family form write complete name for your family members i.e. ABCD XYZ
