Have you ever used any other name? related doubt

[JJ_J]

Can someone tell me what is the answer for “Have you used any other name?” for below scenario..

A person had a BC(from born country) with a name with spelling mistake and house name. This name was endorsed in their mothers passport when travelled from born country to home country within a month.

Then from home country original BC is issued upon birth registration there. This has corrected name with no extra house name appended. This name is used their whole life.

In this case, does the person has actually used another name? Because the birth name is only on initial BC(which is lost by the way) and mothers old passport which was used only in early months after birth.

For the visa question Have you ever used any other name, do we need to say yes even though the person has really not used the birth name in entire life technically?

If it really was only a spelling error like a typo, you can probably leave it out. But you say this 'house name' - was that another name?

Because in all other cases, disclose.

If in any doubt, just disclose it and include a short letter of explanation.

Personally in your case I would because it was done as a correction and several years later in a different place, but ultimately up to you.

There are other factors you might consider - whether the new birth certificate referred to a correction, will that birth certificate be considered an 'original', and if not will IRCC ask for the original, etc.

Anyway, in short, no harm in disclosing this.

Thank you for your response.
The new birth certificate does not refer to old as old was used only to create the new and get registered in home country officially I believe.

Example of Birth name was something like “Feraro Rosher ABC”

When registered in home country parents corrected to “Ferraro Rosher”

added an R and removed ABC which was house name.

It is your decision. I don't see any downside in disclosing this with a short note explaining, though.
