hi guys,
my name has 'singh' as middle name but i didn't included it in express entry profile, although, it's on my work permit and passport.
Is that gonna be a problem?
I am not able to change my name in the express entry profile as well. Looks like that box is locked, can't make any changes.
Do I have to make a new profile?

You don't have to withdraw it and make it again,

Just follow the CIC instructions as below

Thanks for your reply guys but that was a post from last year I HAVE GOT MY PR :D
Can you please let me know how you solved the middle name issue? In my express entry application i forgot to mention my middle name and i have received an invitation to apply for PR. i am able to change my name in the PR application form but will the discrepancy cause issues for me later on? your response is much appreciated.

I'm sorry man but I don't remember what I did that time :( , it's been more than 1 year
Most likely there won't be any major issues for any minor discrepancies.

I have my middle name in a lot of my Canadian documents and it's missing in a lot as well, haven't created any kind of problem to me yet.
