Hello Everyone,

How to book ticket to Canada with below visa as i didn't have surname in my passport.

Visa Issued as:
First name:
Surname: "xxx"

My passport details

First name: "xxx"
Surname:

Air Canada Airline is giving different answers they are saying if you dont have a surname in your passport then put "LNU" under surname and if you dont have first name then put "FNU" or "NF".

Which case i should consider as per my passport or as per my visa ? its so confusing.

Can anyone without surname in passport share his/her experience with any airline ?

Thanks

Why are you confused? As per your own post, Air Canada has given you one answer: if you dont have a surname in your passport then put "LNU" under surname.

The name in your passport is considered your last name. You can use the LNU or FNU (first name unknown) or alternately the name in your passport for first and last (wife has been doing this for years without issue).
