Hi,

I dont have a surname in my current passport. My full name is written in my Given Name.

On my study permit (which is now expired), the name was written under Family Name with given name blank. I have already applied for PGWP just recently with the same details.

My question is if I get my name split on my indian passport, would it be an issue to get my name changed on the PGWP. Or should I just get the PGWP, not bother with it and when applying for PR I put in the new details.

Please help. I looked online and only found Amendment form which states that if a mistake is made by IRCC officer in the document then it can be corrected, no info about changing the name.
