Hi,

I would suggest that you submit a 'Name difference affidavit' along with all your documents to be on the safe side. You can do a google search for the format and visit a local court to get it done.

I agree, my spouse has the same issue, but his was because of a misspelled name on his passport (just a single letter)!

Did CIC request this document from you? Or did you submit it with your whole application package?

Same was the case with me. So i did an affidavit that says that the person on the degree certificate and the passport is one and the same even though the names are slightly different. Hope this helps. Pls +1 if its useful.

I am still yet to submit, but yes, I will include it in my documents to be submitted. I wrote a LOE too to explain it, mentioned the documents that has which names and the ones that has the other names and said its one and the same person, included the sworn affidavit. I think it should be fine.

I provided a general purpose name affidavit (for WES ECA) and mentioned and attached the same in my EE/PR applications
It states all the name differences (short form, full forms, misspells etc) across all my different certificates
1) Passport
2) ssc
3) inter
4) btech
5) m.tech

and It mentions that all the name belong to me. in The EE application I used "nickname/alias" drop down and attached the affidavit in the provided section.

Don't worry, most importantly don't waste any time in getting the certificates corrected. Affidavit is all you need.

Hi polcoin

Could you please forward the template you have used for the affidavit? I also have the case similar to you and will use the same.

Thank you,
Pawshi.

I explained it in LOE. In my case it was because of transliteration, so explain your case unless the difference is flagrant

Hi.. I am thinking about to raise a CSE and attach the affidavit for the name difference. It's just that the last name is not expanded in few of my educational and bank documents.
