Mistake in my IEC

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could help me?
Yesterday, I applied to get a WTN for entry to Canada before the UK. As I had to complete the application quickly I made a big mistake. Instead of putting my middle name I put my surname in given names... So in the box with given names I put my first name and surname. Totally missing out my middle name.
Have I completely ruined my chances of getting a conditional acceptance letter?

PLEASE can someone give me some advice?
Should I just withdraw my application and try next round?

Thanks

I think you posted this in the wrong forum. This is for visitors.

I'd agree with Jalex, wrong sub-forum. You'd get more responses over on the "Foreign Workers" forum here:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/foreign-workers-b10.0/

That said: I would advise you to NOT withdraw. Negatory. No.

Doing so will make you lose a spot you may never get back. Additionally if you read the directions above "withdraw" it says,
Do not withdraw your application if:

You have made an error and there is a minor discrepancy in your application and your documents (for example: reversing your first and last names, or a digit or number off for your date of birth or passport number). Instead please contact IEC through "My Messages" in Kompass.
So long as the two names + passport number match what is on your passport (when they ask for documents) and you send them a message, they may likely understand and you retain your spot.
