Dear All,

My last name on pp written as "momammed" instead of mohammed, whereas in my educational certificates (including ECA) it's written correct as " mohammed" . only diff is "h" replaced with "m"

I'm worrying whether it will create any issues with immigration, kindly give me your valuable suggestions.

Thank you,
afroz

Get your passport fixed!! It's not just for the difference in spelling but everything that follows will be linked to your passport name. My error in name was due to spelling from arabic to english, the pronunciation was the same. But in your case it's completely different.

Agreed; the passport spelling is the most important of all the documents. That's the spelling CIC will take as legitimate, so you need to get that fixed ASAP...
