My first name is Sukhjit and last name is Singh, but on my Indian passport my full name is written in the Given (First) Name field and the Family (Surname or Last) Name section is left blank. However, on WES report my name is written as SINGH, Sukhjit, will this be problem for PR application?

PS- Name for my credentials on WES report is Sukhjit Singh.

Hey bro need help. I have a situation, on my WES report my name is mentioned as Singh, Veejay but on my passport it's only Veejay Singh as a given name but no family name. Is it going to be a problem as I am in the process of post ITA. if you know how did you deal with this situation if there was an issue? kindly reply thanks in advance.

Its completely fine.

Simply follow your passport.

NOTE: If you don't have a surname being mentioned in your passport then in the Express Entry profile you need to mention your complete name (first and middle name) into the "Family name" field and keep the "Given Name" field blank.
