LAST NAME ISSUE DURING ECA

[sandeep.somanna]

Hi,

I have to run into a situation. My last name is an INITIAL in the degree certificate. But its ABBREVIATED in the passport. -
Passport - "Tom Hanks"
Certificate - " Tom. H"
Should I use the name in the passport or the one in the certificates, while creating the profile in WES for it to be accepted and processed?
I am inclining towards using the name on the passport, as it would be helpful in the future while applying for the Express Entry. Will that be fine?

Thanks.

I believe you're supposed to create your WES profile using the name on your passport, but I'm not certain. (What does the WES form say ?)

Whichever name you use for your profile, your ECA will be issued using the name on your degree certificate.

Dear Sandeep,

I have received ECA thro' WES with similar issue.

WES returns the certificate with whatever name it has on your education credentials.
