Hi,

There is a discrepancy in my mother's last name in my Birth Certificate and Passport. Her first name is the same in both the documents but her last name is different. My Birth Certificate has her last name which she used before her marriage and in the passport, it has her last name after her marriage. Would this cause any issue when I apply for Permanent Residence application through Express Entry?

There is also another issue with the name of my hometown. Birth Certificate has the town name starting with "I" but in the Passport, it starts with "Ai". Basically, the pronunciation is the same but there is an additional letter in my passport. Would this cause a problem too?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

1. The name change is usual and won't cause problems.
2. Again no.
