First Name Problem

[Arsalanullah1122]

So i am in a peculiar situation. The problem is that on my passport, it does not show any first name and my Full name is written as the last name. On my IELTS report, my first name is "---" and my last name is my full name as per my passport. I did not think this could be a problem as i have traveled on this same passport and no one really said anything.
A friend of mine told me that this can be a problem in my express entry application.
So what do you guys think? Do i need to change passport and retake IELTS or is it fine as long as the rest of information of my passport and the IELTS report card match?

in your ee application, enter the whole name in the 'surname' field and leave 'given name(s)' as blank.

If i do that, then it might create a problem with my WES report and other educational documents which show my first name and last name correctly.

I think i can just explain this in LOE?

Do you think this can potentially get my application rejected?

Not only that. Canadas immigration site explicitly explains what to do in this case
