Express Entry profile - editing the name

[rajapanesar]

Hey guys, if one enters their name wrong, can it be edited or do they have to recreate the profile from scratch?

Eg. My name is Raja Panesar on passport.
All of it is present in Given Name section while Surname section is empty.
While creating the profile, I entered Raja in given name and Panesar in family name box.
Now, I have an active profile.
Later, I read, if the name on passport is given in only one line/box, we need to enter it all in Family name section and leave the Given name box empty.

So,
1. Can we edit the name after transmitting?
2. What is the best way to fill in the name section, citing above example?
3. Is the method of entering the name for everyone involved in the process same (spouse, kids)?

Log in, click on check full application status beside your EE application. Then on top, there should be a link to view your profile. Once you click on that, you can update your name and then click on transmit changes once finished (yours as well as everyone elses.)

I never did this before but I guess it should work. Also sorry cant say anything about the best way to enter your name but it should match with all your other documents.

Best of Luck!
