Given name mistake

Good day ladies and gentlemen!

I am facing a strange problem today, i applied for family class sponsorship a few months ago and in my passport my name is written in full, but it doesn't specify which one is given name and which one is last name, it's written in this format ("First name" "Father's name" "Last name") ,
So i though that my given name is only "First name", and my surname is "my last name".

A few days ago i received the instructions to do the bio-metrics and when i gave her the documents and my passport, she said that there is a mistake in the documents, and that i am supposed to write my given name as "First name + Father's name" and my surname as "Last name".

She also did the bio-metrics based on that and issued the bio-metrics print based on my given name as my first name and my father's name,

I am confused, because in my passport it doesn't indicate which one is my given name, so i assumed it's only my first name.

Can anybody help me with this? i am so confused.

Should i contact CIC about, i am so worried that it could be a big mistake...
Because i was so careful while filling out the application, and i'm not sure if i missed that on the instructions.

I wish you all a wonderful day!

when you filled the sponsorship forms you must have indicated your first name, middle name and last name......so IRCC should know your different names......if you are confused or worried, you may send a letter through webform to your visa office

Yes that is true .. when u filled in the given name part , you should have included the father’s name as well .. so that it will be identical to your passport, now your PR card might be first and last name only which doesn’t match your passport which has ur father’s name .. send a web email through CIC website and take a pic of ur passport .. they will handle it I’m sure
