WES will accept. If you want, they will also process your application with only first name. You will just have to put hyphen ( - ) in your last name, if you provide them the "same person" affidavit. But it will be better if you do it exactly like your univ transcripts.

You will be asked in your CIC application if you have used any other names in the past. You'll have to say 'yes', following which you will be asked to attach a name change affidavit where you can attach a 'one and the same person' affidavit.
