Made mistake in visa application (name

[IPTG]

Hi,

I have made a mistake in my visa application where I have mentioned my full name(first& Last name) in Family name section and left given name blank.

Example -

Given Name -
Family Name - Rohit Singh

Is this will cause a major issue? How can I correct this mistake?

In my case I have added my full name in both given and family name fields.I got my biometric instruction letter with my name twice as in Rohit Singh Rohit Singh.
After visiting biometric centre they refused to collect my biometric information because of this mistake. Have you received your biometric letter?

Yes, I have received the biometric letter with Given name blank and family name Rohit Singh.

How you corrected that mistake?

I have submitted a webform as suggested by VAC. Mentioned all the details for the mistake: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/ClientContact/en/Application/Form/76

What is the name on your passport? Is it separate there as well? Like Family name: Singh and Given name: Rohit?

My name on passport is alright like Family Name - Singh and Given Name - Rohit.

Should I also fill the webform. How many days it takes for correction after filling the webform?

May be you should apply for biometric first and see what they say. I believe biometrics can be taken if the VAC is not greedy because they tried to offer 4000 package for getting my name corrected. As per other people in queue, the Biometric information should have been correctly taken based on the name on my passport and then I should be have submitted the webform so when they provide visa then it should have my correct name. But VAC said I have to get my name rectified first.

What is your VAC location? Mine was VAC chandigarh

Reply of webform is not defined anywhere in terms of time. Some people have written 30 days and some even 5.

Thanks a lot for your guidance. I think I should proceed with the Biometric appointment and then see what happens.

My VAC is New Delhi

Yes, please take an appointment. Don't mention the mistake unless they notice. In my case it was pretty evident given my name was coming twice but in your case may they won't notice. Please also post whatever happens with your case so I and others can benefit from it.

Hi any update on your appointment? If yes, is the name printed correctly on it?

Hi,

I visited for biometric. I have taken VFS premium services at 3800. And the whole process went through smoothly. Finally I have seen that they have updated my name according to passport.

I think my name was all according to passport name and the only mistake was that given name section was blank, so VFS does not have any problem in updating that.

Your suggestion really helped. Thanks again.
