Hello all,

I badly need help for my situation.

In every document of mine ( Diploma, certificate, IELTS result, Letter of Acceptance ), my name is The Kien ( first name ) Nguyen ( last name ). My CAQ application asked me to provide my name which is similar to my Passport; however, my passport only shows my full name and my code (VNMNguyen<<The<<Kien) rather than separate it into family and given name. I thought the code was printed into Vietnamese style ( family name << first name ) rather than international style ( first name << family name ) AND this led to my EXTREMELY STUPID IDEA. I registered my name reversely in CAQ application. After submitting everything including mailing declaration to CAQ office in Montreal, I found out that every passport / VISA code is similar to mine. As a result, my name in CAQ application: Nguyen ( as first name ) and The Kien ( as family name ) would be wrong.

I am so worried about this problem, can anyone tell me whether it was possible for changing my name in CAQ application ?? And what should I do now ?

I tried to contact CAQ office by their telephone number provided on website, however, answering machine spoke French instead of English ( I completely fail to understood its instruction ).

Hi palletirajesh,

1. Yes, I did solve my problem.

2. What did I do?
i. Call the Quebec immigration office: https://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/reach/telephone.html
ii. Press 9 for English ! (This is only mention at the end of the call after 3 minutes in French )
iii. Explain your problem and the staff will help. In my case, she left a note in my online file (you will not be able to see this) so that the officers will notice when they consult it.

I hope this help ! Don't be panic if you are in the same situation because I was badly panic.

Hi,

I need some help urgently. In my CAQ application i gave my first name correctly however I gave my last name as full name instead of just the family name.
Can I correct it now ?? I have not mailed the documents to Quebec ministry yet.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the detailed explanation. They have added a note to my CAQ. But, I've already received the hard copy of the CAQ. Should I go ahead for my Visa appointment with the CAQ with the wrong name? or it'll hurt my application? Please help! :(

Thanks,
Sampada
