I don't use any surname in my official documents and hence I don't have anything to write in the "Last name" field. I've tried using my first name in both fields, Tried using "X", "Not Applicable", "N/A" and "x" instead of "Given name" and wrote my First name in Family name field but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any information about linking your application if you only use one name?

I applied to Montreal, Quebec for ACS on 24th september, VFS still shows its under processing in Canada visa office, Chandigarh.

How did you validate the application form without family name since it is a required field?
Anyway you should wait until you receive email from IRCC with your application number and UCI and use those to link.

There's a lot of people in India who don't use their family name. I didn't personally fill up my information but my Agent did. When I asked them about the solution they told me to input my given name as both First and Last name when linking the file.

Also, what is the estimated time after one receives the email from IRCC? Its been 45 days already since I've submitted my application through VFS.
