Hello All,

My current passport contains my full name in the "given name" field only and the surname field isis blank :(. I am about to start my EE application and recently appeared for IELTS exam. The test report has only Given name, for eg. XXXYYY. Now I am planning to split/bifurcate my name into XXX as first name or given name and YYY as surname. In this case, I will get a new passport(old one attached) with a surname.

My question if I get a new passport with a surname, but an IELTS test report with no surname, would it affect my EE application? I have checked if I can change my name (split) in the TRF, but it doesn't seem possible once you appeared for the exam unless it is a mistake in their report compared to the passport.

I want to start the Canada process without any issues and any valuable guidance from the members will be highly appreciated..

Your current passport is also fine.

Preet Sir,

Thank you for your prompt response.. I am just unclear with the answer.. Do you mean that I can go ahead for name split in passport and use the Ielts score with no surname ?

IF, passport, IELTS, ECA report have same names exactly, then no need to split your name to first name and last name.
