Hello all,

My passport does not have Surname(Last name) but only given (first) name. I got my visa/CoPR and they have used my given(first) name as Family name and left Given name blank. Its the same thing in my US visa, Given Naem -FNU and Surname is my given name of my passport.

Is this an error that i need to get corrected or that's how it's done in North America? I am planning to enter Canada in mid April. Please advise on what I need to do. Your response is appreciated.

Thank you

This is fine. LastName is mandatory in their system. So if your passport has just one name, they shift it to LastName.
